With 600 gallons of fuel you should be able to run most of the day at
cruising speed.
Y-a-w-n. Boring. Wasteful. Stupid.

Yeah, cause you don't have one..

Nope. Boat has **no* appeal for me. Have no use for that sort of boat.

And it never will. The Yellowfin has a transom.

May be wasteful, but with quad 300's would not be boring.

Sorta depends on what one finds interesting and exciting. Banging around
at high speeds in a boat doesn't do much for me.

Boating in general has little appeal to you.

Don't know, but for sure there are a lot of high powered center

mega-yacht crowd use them as dinghies.

Let's see, 4 hours out, 4 hours back, no reserve..... covering about
400 miles (conditions permitting).... for only about $1500.00.

Yeah, that's about what we spend, per day, boating....... I really
*do* like their boats, but I'm betting there are very few orders in

52 gallons an hour at 47 mph... stupid is as stupid does.

It's not your money.

All systems are AOK and good to go north this summer, thanks for
asking. Maybe we'll get a chance to wake you on the Patuxent River or
whatever protected estuary it is you run that low transom death trap
on.

That would be my 18 y/o child bride up there on the flybridge in the
red top.

Definitely a thing of beauty! (Both!)

Is that the boat's normal attitude in the water...plowing, with the bow
buried? Got enough antennae on that barge?

The Pax River is a lovely place to boat...in fact, a few months ago, the
bridge near us was raised to let through a couple of really nice trawlers.

A boat like that with Quads is flashy, no doubt about it. Triples are
a bit extreme too I'll admit.

But it sure is fun. :)

Besides, I hope that the Grady will work out for me - I've been
getting the itch to get back into the small party biz - I kind of miss
it and some of my older clients want me to - hey, it will pay for the
boat over five years or so.

Interestingly enough, I've heard that the charter bookings for next
summer are on pace with two years ago which is interesting.

I dunno - we'll see.
