Smart-looking boat, have seen a couple from this manufacturer in the
Bay, dealer is BOE Marine out of Annapolis. These are very sturdy,
minimal maintenance boats for fishermen.

Damn nice boat. Did you notice the 30" full transom? Not LT gapping
hole in that boat.

Pacific extended their Pilot House I think just this year.

I like the Pacific boats. One of my friends has one - beautiful and
well constructed. He had his powder coated before installing the
interior - gorgeous.

I'll look and see if I can find my pictures.

I've wondered from time to time how powdercoating holds up on boat
surfaces subject to abrasion. I know I've seen a couple of powdercoated
tee-tops that begin to look a little weary after a couple of years of
being banged into and scratched by gear, fishing rods, et cetera. Sure
looks good when new though.

Painting an aluminum boat? Does that not defeat the main benefit?

Well, powdercoating can produce a nice, smooth finish that is
attractive. If it is durable, it should wash off easily.

It's held up really well. His brother owns a plasma coating place
over in Putnam and when he bought the boat, he had the hull shipped,
then cleaned the exterior with some kind of special wash agent, then
had it coated.

Up close and personal, it's got a few scratches and dings, then again,
it's eight years old - most eight year old boats have little scratches
and scuffs.

Pacific boats have been something that I've considered over the past
couple of years. I like them a lot - well built and rugged.

Powdercoating has a lot of advantages on steel, but I am not sure about
aluminum. I've seen aluminum that was hard anodized using different dyes
for color that looked great and was very durable. Don't know if it can be
done on large plates though.

When the weather breaks here, I'm going to get a "demo" ride in one of
the 26' plate boats. I will inquire. Incidentally, if you are in
Annapolis, it's worth the time to stop at BOE to check the place out and
also its environs. There are more high-dollar boats for sale within 100'
of that store than anywhere else I've been outside of the Miami
International Boat Show. I was pleased with the prices and service I got
from BOE when I was shopping for electronics for son of Yo Ho.

I kinda liked the looks of the boat in the link you provided. Not bad.
