Baja calls it a 38 Special, LOL!!!
Here's a link to some pic's and questions I had about her during our negotiations with the contract.

It hasn't made it out of the indoor starage yet in New Hampshire for the vessel/powertrain surveys and the sea trial.
The insurance I was quoted came in a little over a 1000 per year.
It really sucks that I talked to the seller Saturday and he said they'd had 18 more inches of snow the night before, now it could be mid May before it's available to be gone over.
4bus, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to go off topic and hijack your thread. Personally I'd love to own a 40'+ diesel Mainship performance trawler and any 35'+ OL. NorTech, Cig etc.. to truly enjoy both worlds in.
But, I sure don't see that happening, LOL!!!
See ya,
Kelly

Not enthused about the side view, but the cockpit and cabin made me interested. Love cockpit galleys. Sleeps six, not bad for a 30

Not that I would spend 300k plus on a cruiser, but this is the most use of space I have ever seen, and twin BBC. Full bow rider, deck boat with a real full size cuddy underneath.

I see we had our eyes on the same boat .
I'm dying to see one in person. Nice to see someone's actually thinking outside the box at the boat companies now. For more of a cruising and sleepover boat, the new Four Winns is also pretty fantastic. Huge cabin/cockpit for a 30'.

Somebody done scared her so much she jumped plum out of the water.
Mat, was it your boat that instilled so much fear in her that she jumped out of the drink and ran for her life, LOL!!!
Way to go!!! That is certainly one wicked cool pic of a cruiser at speed.
See ya,
Kelly

Not mine, I'm the driver in the pic in my Checkmate.
Has this ever happened to you???
Here's the scenario.....
You stop at a red light in your brightly painted, loud, hot rod Mustang GT or Camaro - girlfriend in the passenger seat. A Saab turbo pulls up next to you with a yuppie driver, window up and AC running. He gives you the eye just before the light turns green...You figure this will be easy and you let the yuppie jump you out of the gate. Then as he's pulling you hard through second gear you grind the crap out of third while sweating bullets trying to get around the guy. Finally you barely pull ahead just before you get to the next light. Then, you make up some mechanical BS story to your girlfriend on why you didn't blow his azz clean off the road.
My dad was riding on the back seat that day on the poker run and he's 260#
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I have 18 foot of beam on mine the hull is certified for 49 passengers. For go fast, I can pull the 18 Donzi up on the lift. Who needs a little stabbin cabbin when you have 3 staterooms anyway?
For the engine buffs, it has 2 1271 TI's and 2 15kw gens in walk in engine rooms.
I would not apologize for having a cruiser.
