You make choices every day. Buy the Lear Jet or buy something else. It
is all about the choices you make.

And we do wish people would take their political trash somewhere else.

As for choices, what do you think...

I believe there is not enough room behind the helm. The two seats take
up valuable fishing space on a boat of that size. This looks like a
compromise between what the wife wants and what the fisherman wants.

I would rather purchase a http://www.gradywhite.com/180/

The aft 'seats' are just cushions snapped to covers. On the port side is a
live well, and on the starboard the battery. When the covers are removed,
as I would do for fishing, the covers become good bait/lure stations.

You're right that the wife wanted more than a bare bones fishing boat.
Luckily, the amenities on this boat are either removable or useful. The
extra half foot beam doesn't bother me either.

But, I'll drag the wife up to TriState tomorrow or the next day and see
what the small Grady looks like.

Problem with Grady's are they are extremely proud of their boats.
Overpriced for the size.


I've always thought so too. But, I'll check out the price of the 18'er.
Whoa, about $35000, which is about $7-$8000 more than the Scout. Worth it?
Maybe, but I don't think so.
