But the sheer amount of money it took to buy the 31 Fisharound -


I *love* that boat, Tom. That one's on my wish list.

I bought a 25' center console with forward cuddy. I like it because
helm
the helm is further aft than in the walkarounds, and I can fish a lot of
people over the sides without a windshield in the way. However, it's
not as
versatile as the Fisharound.

Thanks - I like it a lot. It's a compromise - my wife wanted
something like a Grand Banks or Silverton. EEWWWWWW!!!!

The cabin area is very nice too - surprising how much room it has.

I always thought the forward cuddy was a great idea. Mako built one
for a few years as did Boston Whaler, but Contender was about the only
one who actually kept one in the line.


Pursuit had one too. Yellowfin has a 34' and Marlago has a 35'. I think
Scarab has one also.

Too big. Although its a neat concept.
