Whats up guys!? I'm "new" here on the forum! ... Actually, I've found myself on here at least a couple times a week for the past year and finally decided to join. Its time I sell my dream boat :bashhh: only because I'm 23 and its time I put my feet on the ground and start looking to move out. So before I pull myself from doing this thing... here it goes...

Beautiful boat man. I have a 2000 model just like it. I love the cuddy on these boats, they really come in handy. How do those jl subs sound in the console? Good luck with the sale.

Thanks scott! I'm not much of a bass guy so they're mostly turned down, but do sound great, I'd recommend them to anyone!!!

23! Nice boat jr.

Screw life and keep the boat....

haha thanks guys! It truly is my dream boat, but you know how life goes...

Moving out of M&D's house is over-rated. Stay until you are 35.

your not wrong i want to go back

lets get this boat moving so I can hate life after!

dont sell it!!

Nice flag

It appears you are towing this 31 cuddy with a 1/2 ton truck. How does the truck live up to the task?

haha thanks guys! It truly is my dream boat, but you know how life goes...

That's just the thing. We DO know how life goes.

Why do you think we're all telling you to keep the boat!? :thumbsup:

I'm half tempted to hijack this thread and start a "If you knew then what you know now, you would have..." thread.

For me, I would have kept both my Mustang and my 23' Bluewater.

I noticed that you have your boat listed on Craigslist Miami for 45,000 but you have it listed here for 49,000. Which price is it?

Surprisingly, the truck holds up great. 390 hp and 410 tq. ftw :thumbsup:

My price was orginially 49,000 OBO - even on craigslist. I've now lowered the price on craigslist and here as well.

Bronco? More info.

Great looking boat...especially with the NOLES flag flying high! Never seen the cuddy on one of these...do you have pics you can post on the layout inside? Also...any numbers on fuel burn on those 2-Strokes? That is a lot of boat for those motors. What is cruise speed and WOT speed on her. Thank you...GO NOLES!

lol the pics are on photobucket.com/76broncomiami I'll send you a PM with more info to keep this thread on the boat.

Yes, I can take pics of the layout inside tomorrow,
The boat does about 30 mph on 37000 RPMs and 52 WOT at 5400 RPM's. WOT is with 3 people on the boat and about 90-110 gallons of gas. As far as the fuel consumption, I cant give you exact numbers as I'm always just enjoying my time out there the most I can, I just see how much I burn after each trip to the sand bar (most of my trips are 15-30 gallons to the sand bar). DONT HATE ME, but I haven't fished this boat much.

Fuel burn at cruise should be around 1.2mpg with moderate load, roughly 38mph 4100 rpms. Once you get past 40 mph your economy will start to fall off.

I cruise at 3700 :joincc: relax modeeee

just 510 hours? i hope you got more out if it. it is a nice looking rig

can you please pm me about the Bronco. I looked at the link, very interested but will not let me send you a pm? Thanks.

GREAT LOOKING BOAT FOR GREAT PRICE

And it does magic if anyone needs more girls in their life! haha :thumbsup:

Kid listen to us wiser we wish we listened to our dad to never get married and enjoy life. You have the chance plus with the toys you have your parents must have money so sponge as long as you can we will not judge... God if I was 23 how things would be different

Son, I got married at 35 and it was too soon! Play hide the weenie for as long as you can! The sandbar is for people that cant be you!

;?Who says I'm trying to get married? I'm just simply trying to sell my boat;?

Still for sale?

Performance numbers? Pics of the inside of the cuddy? Interested.

I sea trialed Rickys boat today and gotta say it is in great shape and a real head turner. Many Contenders of this age range have thousands of hull hours and they show it. This one shows very well for its age. The motors are spotless under the cowlings. They fire up immediately and run strong. Definitely worth a look for anyone in the market for this type of boat.

So why didn't you buy it? ;?

Everything about it looks right. :thumbsup:

So, you are one of those turkeys everybody has heard about. I hope you paid for the fuel............

not by a long shot. I made him a very reasonable offer, and theres a good chance we will make a deal. I just wanted to help the guy out in case that didn't happen.

Thanks Rob! We gave it a run on the windiest day in Miami and I think you now know why this is the boat to go with haha

I apologize guys; Any other pics will have to be sent through email or text. Please contact me with specific pictures you'd like and I'll take them for you.

Wow!! That is one clean ride! That would be one awesome boat to buy, run for a few seasons and repower with a pair of f-300's.

Thanks! Just took some pics of the cover as well! :thumbsup:
