Hi All,

Also in Nantucket last week - BIG Hatt

Jack I'm thinking this might be your next boat ?

It's probably for sale cheap. Look at the big hole in the side.

Hi All,

Imagine that thing open in rough seas, hundreds of gallons could possibly intrude. I believe, from what I can tell, it is moulded in and can't be opened.

One would hope it didn't open.

I saw crazier things than an opening side porthole at the boat show!!! LOL

No no no, my next boat will be smaller not bigger. Of course if the deal is too good to pass up I might not mind going a little bigger. After all that's only 3 feet bigger than my 65. My 11 year old thinks we should get a 70 next.

Listen to the 11YO. I'll help you bring it home.

My wife just got the new house she wanted so maybe next year will be a new boat year. Truth be told we love this boat so much I'd have a hard time giving it up. But I guess the right 70 with 1800HP 16V2000s might tempt me! The fuel cost and maintenance would put an end to my kids going to college.

Just hire them as crew. No college education necessary.

So I guess I'll be supporting them indefinitely. At 180gph running around 30kts the 70 would cost Less to run than my 65 cost back when I was paying $4 per gallon. Maybe it's not such a bad idea!
