BigS, are you going to be around? Any plans to go in?
MJ? How about it? If ya feel like taking a drive up, my treat. Family members included. hmmmmm? I would have to plan a week evening since I'm still working the weekend night gig along with the other part time day thing.
Repirts is a local guy too.
We need a Wellcraft V20 night out!

Well, MJ and I attended the NE Boat Show in Boston today. Had a good time hanging out with ya Bud.
Best thing there? I'd say a fine selection of the opposite sex strolling around. ;D
We had a chance to check out the brand new Wellcraft V-21 Steplift. :P >:( MJ didn't hold back his feelings while talking to the salesman. There is practically no room in that thing for fishing. The only rebuttal the salesman had was, "This'll run circles around those old V20's".
I don't know about circles Mr salesman! Now the Wellcraft 22' Sportsman is a completely different story. It's a dual console and has tons of storage, lots of versatility for either a family friendly boat or a pretty serious fishing platform.
The other boat we both really agreed that was a solid value (like any boat is ::)) is the Osprey. They're made in the Pacific Northwest and built like a brick sh#thouse. You could fish year round in those things ;D
Anyways, everything is overprice IMO. Fun to look at though.

[macojoe]

Yea had a blast! Yea I am pretty out spoken when I want to be!! And I think CB wanted to hide a ouple of times!! ;D
I hated the V21 and wouldn't keep it if they gave it to me!! But the 22 sport was the boat for me!! I would love to own that!!
The Ospery was also a awsome boat!! I would like to own both boats!! I would figure out when to use each.

I also told the Trophy guy that he couldn't sell be a Bayliner on a bet!! I thought CB was going to die!! :o

But this was window shoping as I have all i can handel with my old boat as far as cash. But was nice to get out talk with CB, Check out the girls!!!
CB what was that boat I was looking at?? You no with the nicely aged women bending over?? ;D

Got to do it again!!

[chumbucket]

You no with the nicely aged women bending over??

;D ;)That was the 23' Maritime Skiff Patriot.
See, I don't forget a nice face(or backside) when I see one. ;)
