Are you buying new? Check out the new Southport Express 28'.

In the 28' range, Scout and Grady make a nice boat too.

I've checked out Scouts and like them - they just don't seem to fit me
for some reason. Can't explain it.

Grady's are good, but I've never been overly impressed with them -
overpriced.

Must be a conspiracy by the builder to limit supply... :-)

I believe Whalers are way overpriced, and Gradys are, too, but a bit
less so.

I agree but there seem to be plenty of buyers wiling to pay the
premium. They both make a decent boat and have acquired a powerful
brand image over the years.

The Ranger is for sale. Sans engine, with the FICHT and with the

Anybody interested, let me know.

That fits the bill for af, I am passing the link along, he is local.
The best deal is the FICHT - I can always match the ETEC with another.

That boat sings with the FICHT w/o the jack plate and with the jack
plate, it will be much better in wind and waves.

Actually, I hate to sell it, but SWMBO has put her foot down.

Wimmenz - can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

Saw a cute little 17'er at the marina today, with a 90hp Yammie 4 stroke
attached. Might have to give them a look when we move.

JohnH,
At your age, you should not be looking at 17 yr old.

Yes, I *am* laughing out loud! The wife wants to know what was so funny.
She agrees with you.
