Boat Commercial Classifieds and Marine Services - 37 Ocean Billfish 2008 - Lowest Price on Market. $30,000.00 price reduction

The Ocean Billfish 37 features an innovate twist on a retro style from the 50s. She is a blended balance between and express style boat coupled with a convertible sportfish. She has an upper and lower helm and has an open aft bulkhead. She successfully combines the best of an express allowing for easy communication between the driver and the angler and quick access to and from the cockpit and helm station and still emits the feel and control of a convertible. This is a purposefully built fishing battle wagon and her New Jersey heritage is uncompromising. This is a must see. All offers are encouraged. Do not hesitate to make an offer on this boat!!!

I wqs told there would be pictures, someday I might get one of these.

I just posted this today. Ill have pics tomorrow I hope.

"A Better Broker" would throw up some pics. I sent the link to a friend who is in the market, tough sell w/ no pics

Just listed it. Got some pics today. Ill upload what I have tonight. Chill with the hostility. I am paying for professional shots of the boat to be taken. I will "throw up" some amateur pics tonight for you. Boat is in NY. Will sell for sub 300k. "whats with the quotes"

I am guessing he is just "an asshole" but like I said just a guess..

A Better Broker is putting up a lot of nice listings. They take time to put together in a package that would interest a serious buyer. I for one appreciate him posting up here early. If I were seriously interested, I'd pick up the phone and call him to discuss the boat.

Your "buddy" isn't going to buy a $300k boat from pictures anyway, so stop puffing your chest...

You may be right, may be wrong. Depends on perspective. I guess I did the wrong thing sending the link to a friend in the market. ;?

If your handle is "Lazy Bones," I can see why pics wouldn't be posted. LOL.

No hostility intended. I just figured that a guy who called himself "A Better Broker" would post pics with a listing. Guess I expect too much from brokers. My bad, I apologize.

Whose puffing their chest? There is no info on this post that can't be gleaned from the website. No one will buy a boat based on pics, your'e right. It's a 1200 hour boat and pics, even non-professioinal ones can show a chitty boat and keep from wasting both parties' time.

Good listings can prevent wasted time for both people. The price looks attractive. That's why I forwarded it to my " 'buddy.' " I am not a serious buyer. I have zero interest in this style boat, much to my 5 year old daughter's dismay.

She would love it, here are the pics I have currently. I just got them tonight. Here are some additional pictures.

Greatly looking forward to the pics on this and the 43 Vike and cruise data. Total HP should be 960 for the ocean

Must everyone always be so nasty and on edge?:thumbsup:

So viewing it with your five year old daughter should not be considered wasted time..thats quality time..Buying these type of boats,I suspect the one with the most amount of wasted,non productive time is the Broker due to responding to so many truly non interested people...:thumbsup:

A Better Broker, is that hull#1?

A Better Broker, is that hull#1?

looks nice, but I think it's too new to be hull #1. i maybe wrong, but for some reason I think i saw hull number 1 at the AC boat show in Sept 2006.

but my memory maybe getting a little fuzzy. check this out:

http://www.sportfishermen.com/board/f9/ocean-viking-showdown-37-billfish-23331.html

looks like a different boat. anyways i like that boat a lot! i may make a move one day to one.

Good point..I believ e i saw #1 a few years back with that hull color? I may be wrong..That is a nice layout to fish..everyone below togeter or the ability to go above..Good luck with the sale!

Great looking boat !!
The design seems to turn a typical bridge boat's salon into nice open space like an express boat, while still giving the crew a huge bridge area for everyone to enjoy together instead of having a tiny bridge like most express boats. Sweet design!

Best of both designs really. Great looking too..

Not hull number one. Not sure of that answer yet. I am going to get pictures of her on Monday.

The design was born in the late 1940's and they were termed "dayboats". The only guy building them of recent is Gamefisherman (and of course this hull). My favorite design for a 36-42 flybridge.

Added some additional pictures. I am flying to NY on Saturday to take real shots and get a formal write up. This owner is very anxious to sell. Bring an offer over 200k and we will work with you to the best of our abilities. It is an awesome design and will be a good deal.

Full listing now up!

Cool design

Guys, this boat is seriously for sale. We are trying to make an offer on a new boat and the owner is about to become a 2 boat owner. We want this puppy to sell this month! Bring me an offer. We are pushing this boat hard. She is going on every website we can put her one this week.

great looking boat, wish I was on the market for something bigger. Even the wife loves the layout.

Price reduction - $299,000.00.

Is this boat sold?

This boat is still available. Please send me an email for a full run down. [email protected]

Quick question, is there any ventilation in the salon area? The side windows and windshield do not look like they open. I do see something that looks like vents across the back of the windshield in the ceiling.
BTW, love this design.

Any fuel burn #'s? Trying to see what range it has.

Performance Figures:

Thanks. Where is boat located?

Long Island NY. In answer to a few questions back, the lower helm is climate controlled.

Yes i see the vents for that. So what is the actual price? I see on ad it dropped 30k and i see bring an offer over 200k.

Asking price is 299k. Thats our starting point.

Nearly one-to-one at 30 knots? Very impressive!

That's one really nice looking boat!

this is one of my dream boats, what a beautifull rig,

Owner is ready to sell.

Asking 299k ... bring an offer over 200k ... owner anxious ...... sounds to me like 250k will get this boat sold. Solid deal for someone .

Seller is looking for offers now. Dont hesitate to call.

Bump

Wants sold!

The price this boat will sell for is a steal. Offer has been submitted don't miss this opportunity. Waiting on counter.

Can't believe it hasn't sold yet. Sweet ride.

She is really great looking rig.

There is an offer that's been presented, but we are not in contract as of this post as its a little lower than my client desires.... We are waiting to get a few things resolved before my customer commits to the offer on the table. I am not sure that he will or wont at this point.

did the boat sell?

Looks to still be an active listing on Yachtworld
