Good luck on your purchase, I must admit I have been feeling a bit of
buyers remorse but once I get the sucker in the water that will all
melt away.

Peter what kind of boat are you looking at?


A 28 foot walkaround mainly for fishing. We have narrowed it down to
either
the Grady White or the Pursuit. We'll base the boat in Beaufort, NC. We
are
on temporary hold waiting for the spring buying frenzy to slow and prices
to
drop. We hope to be in the water for the fall fishing season.

What model Pursuit? I love those boats.

Later,

Tom


The 2870 walkaround. So far it's a pretty close contest between that and the
Grady White. A sea trial and price will be the deciding factors.

I have a Contender 31 Fisharound and I love it.

I've taken a ride on a 2870 and was very impressed. In fact, there
was some thought given to purchasing one when I sold the other
Contender, but I'm kind of a brand loyalist.

You can't go wrong with a Pursuit.

Outboards, inboard w/jackshaft or I/O?

Tom

Outboards (twin Yamaha 225s). I think this is the only option with this
model

Eh - probably four strokes.

There are always options - like purchasing a boat without power like I
did with my Contender.

Oh well, can't have everything. :)

So far it looks like it'll be a great weekend for boating.

http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishcorn.htm is always a good place to start.




(Which reminds me, I still need to mail in last year's catch record card...)

Hurry up! We're sitting on pins and needles! Ouch!

Let us know where the pics are. If you need a newsgroup to post them in, try
alt.binaries.picture.sports. Last I checked, it was empty. So I put some there.
