Nice... too rich for my blood and too large for one person to launch and retrive easily, but it's a great looking boat for sure. :clap:

yea that would be an awesome boat....the only other one of thos I've seen for sale is the guy thats had it for sale for ever for like 25k or something crazy like that.....been posted here before....

Come on Charlie trade in that truck and go for it..

the tuna is back. local boat too. well well maintained. go for it. bigger is better. but you still dont have a trailer. best of luck with decision.:sly:

Always loved that hull and that particular boat is SWEET! Price isn't bad at all, if you could find a good deal on a trailer...

One of these days...

As for launching by yourself, it can be done. My neighbor has a 25-26' Regulator and he launches it by himself all the time. Very impressive to watch.

I had a 25' John Almand, and loved it, but as the kids got older and left the house I had less and less available labor to help with it. Yes, you're 100% correct, it can be done, but I've found that with age also comes the desire to KISS things. (K.I.S.S.= Keep It Simple Stupid) If you can do the same things with smaller and easier then KISS the big boat goodby.:beer:

Understood, Destroyer :beer:

Truth be told, I've found that a 20' boat is "just right" for me; easy to launch and maintain... Perhaps when my boys get older (they're 2 and 4... we got started late... LOL), I can consider a larger boat, but for now the 20' will more than do.

Nice boat. But I can tell you that the picture of the boat is not on the Toms River. I grew up there!

Everybody needs two boats. One BIGG'UN and one LITT'LUN. :you:

I couldn't agree more... :sun:

:clap:...You RIGHT, Charlie...that's a NICE ONE!!...HAS LUMBERSLINGER BEEN TAKIN' CARE OF THAT THING?...LOL!!... I've never been wild about Cuddy and CC set-up, but that one changed my mind...perfect power choice...:clap:

Better if it had the Opti 250 Reel and twins.

IMO everyone in FL needs 3 boats to cover the possibilities properly. Airboat, Flats Boat and Offshore.
