We are proud to be displaying the new Andros 32 (boat #2) at the 2010 Miami Boat Show! This boat is a rigging masterpiece. No stone unturned no option left out! The Andros Offshore 32 comes standard with with a long list of features like LED compartment lighting, customizable hard top and a huge tackle center to name a few. The boat pictured below is loaded up with some really trick options as well! We also included some very special "one-off" details on this machine... She's a Michael Peters design and Marine Concepts and our internal crew shared the tooling work.
Come by and check her out at booth K51 in the center of the convention center inside! Here are some sneak peak camera phone pics of this boat during the show move in!

A complete review of this boat by Dean Travis Clarke will be featured in the March issue of Sport Fishing Magazine.
Andy, BEAUTIFUL! I am going to try to get by your booth, if I can get away from mine! Good luck!
Come on by... The CB boys know we'll have a beer at the booth after a long day, they came for it every night last year... I'm surprised they didn't tell you! I'll keep a cold one for you!

Nice boat and way to represent B'town but one might think the Dean Travis Clarke feature to be bad street cred. That fella is clueless and the worst angling example ever broadcasted. I thought he was a fountain flame?
I'll bet that Dean Travis Clark says that when turning the wheel over hard at speed the hull knifes a sharp U, but slides just enough to keep all occupants safe and on board.
I took delivery of my new Offshore 32 Andros on Thursday.. just before an annual fishing trip I do with a few friends from college every year in Stuart..
Got the Graphic on the side (combination of my two daughters names) and got her dialed in with Andy and the Garmin rep for a few hours, (I should mention that I was blown away that the Garmin rep came from across the state just to make sure all of my equipment was 100%)
I did not have the chance to really break her in before it was already late and my friends had all arrived, but she got a real test the next morning. We loaded 6 hungover guys in the boat before dawn and started out of Lucie Inlet. It was not the 3-4 buoyweather reported, but probably more like 4 to 5 and staked up about every 2-3 seconds..
The boat was AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I was cruising though some nasty sets, no jarring at all and once I got my trim figured out everyone was bone dry.
The fishing could have been better this weekend, but the boat could not have been any better. She turned heads at every dock she was at and she performed better than my expectations. I should also mention that the gas mileage was better than I expected as well.
After researching 30 foot class center consoles for over a year, test driving a Contender, See Vee, and Yellowfin it was clear I made the best choice. No disrespect intended to those boats and their builders with that comment, I have friends that have all of the above mentioned and they are great boats as well. I went with Andy because he had built my last boat (their 22 permit). He stood by his product, and listened to every request and suggestion I had both with my old boat and while building this one. I think Andros has a great attention to detail and builds a solid boat. That, coupled with a Michael Peters design I thought would be hard to beat. I was right and I am loving my new ride..

Gee whiz...after being such an avid boater prior to even buying this rig and having so many friends owning such an elite list of premier boats, one would have thought you to be a member on this board waaay before your join date and first post of today. This may raise some eyebrows so sorry for pointing this analogy out. Not to mention, your ability to hunt down this thread and add your "unbiased" experience. I think I have said enough so if anyone wants to comment on the "cruising through the 4-5'ers" than fire away.
I had previously seen hull no. 1 running around town and then visited with Andy at the Miami Show to see the boat up close. I personally agree with some of the post above that the boat is very attractive and quite well thought out as it should be for the steep price to play. My friends and I all agreed however that there were a couple relatively minor items that need to be addressed before boat is ready for say the SKA. The most glaring of these is how the center console door is attached to the center console. After mentioning this to Andy he seemed to appreciate the criticism and I’m certain he will address it in future boats. As I’ve either run or fished most the competitor boats including Contender, Sea Vee, Invincible, Yellowfin and Fountain I look forward to seeing how the boat runs in real word conditions.

Boating and fishing "experts" do exist outside of internet forums... and as far as i can tell the number of posts a member has is not necessarily a direct reflection of their knowledge and credibility.
Kydyn is the proud owner of one of our new Offshore 32s. It's his second Andros model. He ordered this boat pictured above over a year ago. When he ordered it we were still making molds and in the R&D phase. He is no more than just a happy customer, happy with his decision to go with Andros. He and I have talked multiple times since he took delivery last thursday, he's very excited. He's worked hard to build his company and purchase his custom dream boat. He was at the Miami Boat Show with us the entire time. He came down the the factory almost every week thru the R&D process and while his own boat was being built.
Kydyn didn't post a single word about this boat until after he had it in the water for a full weekend and had a chance to run the boat hard. That's more admirable than 99% of the garbage i read on most forums. Look up the weather reports from last thursday and friday. If you question this boat's rough water capability call me to set up a sea trial.
