There were two wooden express boats, 30' and 36' that were just unreal, they were in near the Hinckley picnic boat and some sailboats. I cannot remember the name, from the outside they looked impressive, the inside was 10X better.

a friend of mine owns a G20 and he let me run it this past summer, super hull, nice fit and finish. Runs nice in 2-3 ft chop too.

According to the rep, that FJORd is a 40 foot open boat with twin diesels. It's primer gray and the top deck has basically a picnic table, a stove, and a blender. It's base price was $540,000 plus options. There is one state room under the deck in the bow area as well as a full bathroom. The rep told me the boat as shown is somewhere north of $700,000.

The rep told me the boat is marketed toward those who want something no one else has.

...Sure, no one else will have 700K open boat with fabric-upholstered aft seat.

Paul, Was it that super $$$$ fabric and foam that doesn't leave you with a wet a$$? Nothing worse (or could it better) than entertaining some super hot bow babe and getting her shorts all wet.

Heading there in the afternoon Thursday.

The great part about this boat is that what appears to be a dull, matte primer finish is actually a color specifically ordered by a customer. Maybe someone wanted their boat to look like it would absorb radar.

Otherwise, it's an eye-catching boat which will turn heads in the same way a Lamborghini draws attention as it rumbles down Main Street USA.

My highlights were:

1.) Ocean Yachts 37 Billfish - Classic lines, open windshield for sterring from the lower station, great layout, open deck.

2.) The 22' North Shore (Formerly a Sisu 22) - Beautiful lines, great fit/finish, small Yanmar diesel, classic look, but almost $70K.

3.) That's about it.....

I was'nt impressed either. I thought the Rampage 41 was a decent boat. The Bertram 36 was a POS ,terrible glass work, not to mention the design. Many center consoles,which seem to be the trend these days. What the hell is that Fjord made out of? I did not go on it,but was banging on the hull ,and it did'nt seem to solid to me.I looked at from a distance a Luhrs express,and that did'nt impress me too much.Dinky little tubes on the tower with the nav lights attached to it and what looked to be exposed wires. I picked apart just about every boat there including the Hinckley I went on.

Anyone see that crazy 3 wheel motorcycle? Talk about a death trap! I wouldn't put my worst enemy on that.

anyone who saw the G20, did it have the liner in it? I saw them making the plug for that, it looked like it was going to be sweet.

Both were made in Turkey I'm sure with a large consumption of Opium. $850K for the 36'

Nope, he wasn't. They offered terms for it though - 240 months, $2888/month

Such a deal!!!!! For that money, the new billfish 37 could be yours - or even a late model wesmac 42!

Oh, and that grey hulled picnic table and blender - It didn't even have a bunk!
