Impressive. Now you can buy yourself a decent fishing boat...I recommend a
23' Parker CC with the new center console design and built in potty.
It's a great boat.



Heh, heh .... ready?

Now *why* would I want to spend 5 or 6 hours bobbing around in a CC with wet
feet just to catch a fish? I can run down to the Stop and Shop, buy a fish,
go home, cook and eat it in less than an hour.

Or, I can go to a restaurant.

When I want fish, I'll just go buy one and be done with it in an hour.
After all, it *is* all about the fish, isn't it?

I personally think you should get a really nice trawler (maybe a GB 49)
and go up and down the east coast looking for the best fish restaurants
and then publish a cruising book covering your adventures. You will
then be able to recoup all of your expenses for the boat and trip.

Then repeat for the west coast.

Very nice. Just enough exterior brightwork to accent the lines, but not
enough to make it a full time job to maintain it.

That is a nice looking RV, no doubt about it. Photo 17 is a nice wide
shot of the RV.

Nice looking boat, I love the eastbay design, but if you are going to
cruise the east coast looking for the best restuarants, you need to get
a trawler, and not an express cruiser.

If the get the GB 49 Trawler, you could use the Parker 23 as your dingy.

Are they really trawlers, with their semi-displacement hulls?

If that were truly the case, my "cost per fillet" would go down

Some call the GB hull a semi-displacement type and others call it a
semi-planing type.
According to David Pascoe it is neither.

That said, few GB's are sufficiently powered to plane. Any hull type not on
plane is a displacement hull.

Yabut, 13 feet or so longer and a wider beam. Big difference in terms of
interior space.
