In article , says... 18' Grady White or 18' Edgewater or 18' Boston Whaler? *Of course, Yamaha on the back and all center console! *Opinions?? Too vague to answer. *Need more info. Let's start with the most important - are you Harry? Oh, on that question your answer doesn't matter. Nobody will believe you. So I think we're done with this topic. Try internet forums. *But forget the BW. *Way overrated and a bad deal. Now YOU will be Harry, or Kevin, or loogy, or...... whatever insanity pops into Scotty's head!!! Ok, I'll try my best not to be too vague. *Looking for a smaller - i.e. 18' boat - that will serve as a good fishing/family boat, and it will be used in a salt water environment. *I don't want a larger boat than 18' since it will be trailer towed, and I don't want to try to tow anything larger. *I'm looking for a center console since it will be used for fishing most of the time, and I'd like to have the room to roam around. *I like the Yamaha and will probably get the 4-stroke 150. I've heard that Boston Whaler is definitely not what it once was. *My favorite BW was a 1965 13' with a 35 Evenrude. *What a great little boat! And, no, I'm not Harry or Kevin or loogy . . . Strange that you should ask! *I'm just seeking opinions. *I'm leaning towards the Edgewater, but the Grady White is a pretty nice boat, too. *Your comment on the BW confirmed that my observations were correct about their being overrated, so I'll scratch that one off the list. *That's the kind of opinion that will help! *Thanks! Wait for Guzzirules or something like that.. (John) to answer.. I forget the brand but he has a great boat that he uses enough to give you a good read... I remember being shown one of his models at a boat show a couple years back and got the rundown from an old poster here.... Seems like a perfect boat for a trailer boat. * I will let him fill in the details but it seems to do all the stuff, boarding, fishing, gunkholing... etc... and I think he has the powerhouse you are considering too for that matter.... If I remember correctly, John's boat is an 18' Key West CC with a 150 hp Yamaha 4 stroke, He loves it! *roomy enough to take a bunch of family out, or plenty of walk around room to fish. Yeah, Key West... nice boat.. |
