The 65 CC has a shallower draft and is likely easier to handle than a traditional sportfish. Its also faster. I'd like to see a 65 CC pull up to a waterfront bar like Two Georges and try to tie up for lunch.......unless its a Tuesday there won't be any dock space for that size boat.

Ironically yeah you are right as far as a tie-up boat, there is an Estrella out at Peanut and Key Lime all the time. There are usually 2-3 people on it - thats it. I always joke about the guy becasue he looks bored. Please elaborate on what bars have enough room to park more than one 65 foot boat.... ? LOL If you are going "bar hopping" why are you doing it in a 65 foot boat. Isnt a 30-40 enough and a chitload easier? I mean, shouldnt they just use a tender? There isnt a single bar from lauderdale to jupiter that can even fit a 65 on an ordinary weekend. Just because you can doesnt mean you should....

Sailfish east of Peanut could take your 65 ft boat, Waterway Cafe/Seasons 52/Riverhouse could take you and 1000 North/Utiki could take you as well.

An 60 Viking is a way nicer boat they are beautiful inside with a proper engine room with big engines that can rumble no outboard trolling engines on the transom either plus the flybridge is a very cool place to drive from

For that price and can barley get out of the rain under way ? No thanks .

those outboards and center console design will not be able to run in the ocean conditions the big Viking can those big diesels in her belly make a low center of gravity that eats waves and does it every day the outboards can not take that
