Larger boat discussion

Love that Dusky, great price and nice setup, a truly comfortable walk around. Three piece construction is a big plus I feel too. Only thing I'd change is the canvas to anything but red. Florence SC is a lot closer to NC. Would be a lot more comfortable of a sea boat than the other two, especially the Laguna.

Check out how low the gunnel height is on the Laguna in the pictures with the guys standing up. Guy says he's put 12 dive tanks in the forward locker, can you imagine plowing into any kind of head seas, or God forbid, following seas with that much weight forward on that boat? If the deck wasn't flush to the bow it would have a forward casting deck. Pretty sure Searays have cored hulls as well.

Guess I don't care for that one, lol.

The Contender is a pretty hull. It's lineage and merrits stand on their own. Seems like a good price for that level of boat in that condition. I like the color scheme and looks like a fishing machine, not that I would know.
