Re: Nice 34 for sale.
a 30 outboard just doesnt fair well in 4-6's...REAL 4-6's which is usually what we have here off the Jersey Shore. its a perfect bay/lake boat...1-3's it swallows up like there not even there. ran a poker run saturday in 2-3 ft washing machine style slop with 4 people in the boat, and 100-120 gals of fuel without an issue. chop isnt an issue...but smaller outboard cats dont like swells. 3 weeks ago ran the ocean from manasquan inlet to the barnegat inlet in 4-5 ft swells with slight chop across the top and an occasional 6ft hole...just not the right boat for those conditions. but if your looking for a super clean, 105-107 mph boat for in the $70k range i got 1 for ya...go to general discussion and hit the thread weekend at bernies...there plenty of pics there and also plenty of witnesses how my baby looks and runs.

Re: Nice 34 for sale.
Bern, if i do i will.
Your boat would be a nice candidate for the LI sound, especially the western area where i am.
Unfortunatley, after boating up here on the north shore for 2 years I miss running the ocean and inlets. Next boat will be kept on the south shore.
And gunning the inlet in big swells, that may occasionally break, in an OB cat... I dont have the kehone's for that.
That 28pantera w/ the 900hp and 3a drive would fit the ticket for that. Just gotta get past the kitty paint job.
btw, a 30speedster would kick @ss too!

No I have not tried the 5 baldes and now it looks like I am done for the season, as I wrecked a engine bottom end. So even trying the shorties will have to wait for next season.

Corners like she's on a rail....drop the nose...turn the wheel, and pull some G's. Not the fastest SV on the water, but definitely got the best ride and stability.
Built like a brick S-house and will take anything you want to throw at her. We spent 26 hours on the water and ran 315 miles shooting the Miami Vice movie (the part that got dropped on the cutting room floor) most of it in 4-6's. Coming back in on the last day of the shoot we dropped the hammer heading back through the cruise boat channel from Government Cut to Watson Island....104 and the biggest smile my face has ever worn.
Enjoy your ride...you've got a great boat that will last you a lifetime.

There is the link to the ad. Not sure what his screen name is on the board. Are you considering going V-bottom, from your cat?
