Random Quote: so what you are saying is, its exactly the same but completly different......
Now you went and did it. I keep looking at the price list for the 32 and telling myself "Yeah.....I can do it. Sure....just sell the old boat, the car, the house....shoot, I can LIVE on the 32..."
And it's all YOUR fault!!!!!
In all honesty, it's a beautiful boat and I am a little envious......
Can you tell?
WOW!!!!!!!!!You been waiting a long time for that day. I gotta agree its cool to see that john deere pull that thing. Save the photo cuz you know somebody's gonna post asking if you can trailer a 32'CC!! tom
(can you describe where the pics are taken and what was happening on either end. Did you run the boat on her own bottom back to Jersey.)
The pics are taken behind the factory in Edenton NC. Mac let us install the electronics there and was also a big help when we had a problem. We had to drop the antennas and riggers to clear the powerlines. That is a dirt road that he uses to launch the boats that runs next to a small airport. Just a little shortcut. He puts them in at a public ramp. Behind the craine is his own little marina but the power lines are to low to get the boats in there. The pics of the boat tied up arein his marina.We did run the boat back ourselves.
(And it's all YOUR fault!!!!! )
Thank you----Thank you very much
(Where are you going to keep her? )
For now I am keeping her at a friends house in a lagoon right by the bay bridge in Toms River. I am on a waiting list for the Seaside Pk Marina.
Since you liked the tractor pics so much, here are 2 going down the road.
just out of curiousity, what that that qualify as to the NC DOT? the tractor is ag equipment, which is straitfoward enough, but with a huge boat in tow......hmm, I guess it could technically be considered ag equipment since the ultimate goat is to "harvest" fish. It would definitely be a head turner if you weren't expecting to see it.
Beautiful . That is one of the nicest 32fters made period. How about some more details? Power? Electronics? Best of luck with her. I'd have to take a month off and you wouldn't be able to get me off of the boat
fishon, it has twin cummins QSB 380 commonrails. These engines are very quiet and no smoke.When you put them in sync mode, you only need to use the starboard throttle lever and it keeps them within 10rpms. Cruise is 26-27 kts with full load of gear and fuel. Tops out at 31kts. Not sure what light load cruise is yet. Holds 355gal of fuel. Dry weight is 24000 lbs.
Electronics are 2- simrad CX 44 displays, 6' 12 kw array, simrad combi-c ducer, ap-25 autopilot and icom 602 with 16'digital antenna and 16' digital antenna for cell phone with amp.

I think the IRS would frown a little on that deduction.
