You could fish from ours but the back deck is further off the water than you'd like. The smaller ones are better in that respect. All of them will roll at anchor in open water more than I like, but you may be used to that if you do a lot of fishing. |

Did GB make a sportfisher?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Not that would ever meet the standard definition. Between 1989-1991 GB built a 42 "Sports Cruiser". It was essentially the 42 Classic and 42 Motoryacht hull, with an abbreviated flybridge sedan super structure and a large(r) cockpit. Factory photos from the era show a couple of outriggers mounted just aft of the windows of the superstructrue. Cruising speeds were 8 to 16 knots depending on the power selected. (It took a pair of 375-HP Cats to see 16 knots). There's an obvious reason that after all of the effort and expense to develop and market a new model it is available for no more than two years.............. something to consider when making an offer (the seller is probably not being overwhelmed by market response) and a factor to include when looking far enough ahead to consider your own eventual resale of the boat. Definitely not GB's brightest idea. You not only have to build a good boat, you have to build the *right* boat. A few years later, the same basic superstructure seemed to reappear as the 42 Europa- which of course would be out of the question for serious anglers after anything larger than a random bottom fish or two. The 42 Europa is a very popular boat, and rightly so. Thanks - much appreciated. I couldn't find anything specific about it. |
