Very cool.

Want something heavy cause the gulf, speed is of no worry, just want something to get to the islands for the summer. Will never do a run in it.

Thanks

If you cant trust the moisture meter, and it's winter and the the transom is frozen, potentially throwing off the sounding process, do you just roll the dice or take core samples?

Wait, almost since you got your Sonic you talked about how you wanted to get back to a CC. OB's are so much better, can haul friends etc. Most of the normal stuff and reasoning.

Are you now saying that you are getting another IO and a BLACK one at that? For the Florida heat! That thing will burn you,,,,,,,,,,, and I do mean it. I have been burnt from my black bed cover on the truck.

Are you moving???????

Cost of the boat is the only reason I am looking at it, can't even get a basic CC for the same price. Just don't want to not be in the water this summer.

Also the sides are black, the interior is all brown/tan.


I rather have a nice CC or something with space but with putting all my money into trying to open a biz and also will not fiance an boat, my pickings are slim.
