Yeah.... what is the "Paul Harvey" rest of the story on that...?The same one you sold?
No, I gave up on that crazy guy, good thing I didn't buy it back, the captain called my guy in Destin and told him they just spent $45K to redo the exhaust system!!The same one you sold?
I don't have any of the inside, my wife may have some,I'll get some when I pick it up. It was built in 2004 for a retired fighter pilot, has twin Cummins diesels, generator, water maker, ice chipper, Sea Keeper gyro stabilization system, really well equipped for a 45 footer. The inside is clean, but it's set up to fish not do the wine and cheese cruises. Has a little over 2000 hours total time, the owner passed away last fall and it needs a serious cleaning and waxing. His widow is being very accommodating and getting all the necessary repairs finished quickly.I'd be curious on inside pics and some additional specs.
It will be, it was in Ft Walton about 20 miles away!I don't know much about those types of boats, but it looks very nice. Based in Destin?
Paging @JCranford ---- you might have a customer for that fancy fishing gear you're making.
I figure 4-6 foot seas with thunderstorms!!Red Snapper season? lol the two days it is open will be blowing 20-30...
Normally we are there for the 4th, but my wife is starting 6 weeks of radiation and chemo on June 5, so other than weekends we will be staying in Atlanta.When is the POA cruise?
I'll be in Destin for the week of the 4th of July![]()
I was really surprised when the broker told me about the Seakeeper! I got some pics on the fuel burn at cruise, 80% load was a bit over 30 knots and 45 GPH total! The old Hatteras was 80-100 GPH and wouldn't do 30 unless it was WOT and about 120 GPH!! I am pretty excited to get it out and see how she does.I assume that's a cold-molded boat. Was she built in Edenton, NC? You'll like the fuel economy! Well compared to other types of construction for 45' boats...
I have never been on a boat with seakeeper but I love the idea... really cool technology. Probably a great thing to have if you are taking an overnight tuna trip.
That sucks. Hope all goes well!Normally we are there for the 4th, but my wife is starting 6 weeks of radiation and chemo on June 5, so other than weekends we will be staying in Atlanta.

QSM 11's 660 hpYou're going to switch those Cummins out for some C18 Cats right??? What model Cummins are they?
Federal snapper season is June 1-4, I think. Should be 4-6 foot seas!! State runs through early July, I believe.30 knots is pretty durn good, but what will she do in reverse when you're hooked up on that billfish?
Whats the snapper season look like this year? Ive lost touch since moving to DC, need to get back and stay back (read I will happily polish aluminum, change oil, scrub, and cut bait for cheap).
Ah. That's C12 territory then. Enjoy the new boat.QSM 11's 660 hp
I like Cats, but I think these will be fine for as light as the boat is. I was trying to stay away from MANsAh. That's C12 territory then. Enjoy the new boat.
