I'm waiting for the cash for clunkers to move from land to sea and then I will buy your boat. I would consider it the perfect boat for every type of fishing in NE salt.
I can't remember from the video but does it have a transom door?
Good luck on the boat but more importantly to your new September arrival.
Sorry, no genset. I don't like the noise and less sharks with out that noise.
Never needed one on my overnite canyon trips (we fish ALL nite with under water lite).
The boat has four batterys, one just for the underwater light. I just start up 2-3 times during the night to charge, we are up anyways. If your not running heavy load lights/loads or a frig, no need to start up at all.

It's just a matter of when, I already took the big hit. Paid $ 225 K(W/electronic and extras) 5 years ago and asking a price so low... Lower than that price, it's better to hand the keys over to the bank. Suffer the credit issues.
Thanks for noticing John

IslandGirl: The credit hit would be a big one and follow you around for quite awhile. I don't recommend it. You'd be better off selling for $105K and paying off the $15K over time with the bank. You could probably negotiate a payment plan and not have it effect your credit score.

IMO This is a steal at this price. I know this boat very well and Dennis keeps it in perfect condition. You can not find a better taken care of boat on the market. Someone should jump on this. Economical canyon boat. Plenty of range and trust me it raises fish. It raises so many fish that when fishing near it it actually pisses you off that your boat is not doing the same. Good luck with the sale Dennis
The boat checked out fine, just tiny odds and ends. The engine oil was tested and come back as normal. The sea trial checked out fine as well. Surveyer name avail and he came from referals from hullthruth.
Sending back the deposit to the buyer, he is currently a outboard guy and wants to go 26/29 knots. I can understand that, I was a outboarder as well.

220 Gallon tank, boat fully loaded plus 700lbs ice @ 23 knots.
I run to atlantis canyon, apox 110 miles plus return. Stay overnight, run engines every 4 hours for recharge and troll about 8 hours. Using about 170 gallons. Anything over that we bring extra fuel, the 1/3 rule matters to me.

I am taking a big loss on this boat. You can't go wrong.
