Speed ain't difficult. Certainly not the kinda speed you get out of a mass production boat. A Custom one off, with bad ass everything well thats a different beast but your average Baja and Checkmate ain't shit. Neither are you!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't know how to trim the drives and tabs for racing out the river. You'll be PORPOISING all the way out, and people will be watching and laughing at you!!!

I used to have a jon boat. Rated for 275 lbs. Who the fuck has a 75 lbs girlfriend besides a crack head or a pedophile? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, these are my three choices of boats: A Nitro Z18 A Tuff 28/860 A 2005 42' Fountain w/twin 1350s, in Rhode Island The Fountain would be great, but I've had a big boat before, and they can be a ton of trouble, and horrifying expense. I would like to roar that bastard out the Merrimack at 85 through the jetties. If something goes wrong with it, it could easily cost THOUSANDS!!! The Tuff 28. He has a waiting list of ONE FUKKIN YEAR!! That is too long to wait for a boat. So, that's out. The Nitro is manageable for me. I can keep it in my garage, hitch it up when I want, and go. It would also be the easiest to re-sell at some point. So, I'm leaning toward the Nitro, realistically. JUst buy a 21 ft center console with dual outboards. and call it fucking done. Easy to buy , easy to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to buy , easy to sell. That sounds like a boat for Newburyport. Yes, it is great down there, and I have thought about that. I'm more inclined to go the fresh-water, bass boat style. A Nitro would also have real good re-sale value. I only used my boat ONE time in the last three years. Goddamnit, I'm not sure yet, what I'll get. Last thing I want is a real good boat, just sitting in my garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give a few extra handy's and sweet talk some dirty truckers and you'll save enough to buy the boat!! I just sent someone on this site, my ONE-DAY take in the market. He won't tell you exactly what it was, but he will tell you if I'm broke, or If I have two nickels to rub together, or If I have a few dollar bills, or many dollar bills, or Holy Fuck!!!!
