We saw one of these in Key West last week with quad 300s on it:

It would be much more practical with a pair of diesels and corinthian leather seats, not as fast though, and those quad 300s do look kind of cool when you see them in person. |

I've been out on a choppy Buzzard's Bay in a smaller Yellowfin (36', IIRC) with tripower. Glanced at the GPS at one point and it indicated 62 mph, yet was one of the smoothest, soft rides I've ever experienced. Nice boat if you are into that type. Eisboch |

He's stated that he doesn't like trawler type boats like Wayne's because they are too slow (really because he doesn't have one). Typical Harry for you, if he doesn't have it, it's not worth having, just ask him. In other words WAFA |

By far the plainest most boring and pooly designed boats there were the Parkers, even if they are supposed to be well built. Tom showed me the boat Harry used to have, it was funny. It had at least a 10 square foot hole in the transom, almost down to the water level with a cheesy peice of plastic screwed in front of it to keep back water. The cheesy piece of plastic was not much higher than the motor mount transom, it was terrible. The lines were square and there is no need for that in this day and age. Cheap and lazy, and the sides were a mess, wavy and cheap looking, just a plain ugly boat with way too many flaws... |

Is your other tranny ready to go teats-up? Sorry, W'hine, but bumping along at high speeds in the ocean or bay is just not something I have ever enjoyed. One of my old SeaPro's could touch 50+ mph in the Bay, and I doubt if I ever ran it that fast more than once. You can't see anything in front of you in the water when you go that fast (like a semi-submerged log or a crabpot), it burns an incredible amount of fuel, and if there is any sort of chop, it's not comfortable. |

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