O SUN O LUV

Aaron, one of the aforementioned loved ones to whom this blog is dedicated, asked about the boat pursuit. It is an ardous process not unlike buying a car. One must ask what type of vehicle and then which manufacturer/dealer?

O SUN O LUV will most likely be a "Bay Boat" in the 17'-19' LOA. If she comes from a local manufacturer such as Pioneer, she will be a little larger and more heavily optioned. If she comes from a national firm such as Sea Pro she will be, by economic necessity, a little smaller.

Of course she will have the biggest four stroke engine allowable, modern electronics, trolling motor and a T-top.

Other interesting models include the Sailfish 1900 Bay Boat (too expensive I fear), the Polar 1810 BB (also expensive), the Sea Hunt Triton 186 (a local manufacturer), the Sea Boss 19 Bay Boat (another "local"), the Sea Fox 195 Bay Fisher (an up market "local" that may be the answer?), the Parker 2100 Big Bay (maybe too big, but good local value), the Key West 186 Bay Reef (another "local" quality boat), the Sea Chaser Bay Runner 170 (by the well known firm Carolina Skiffs), The Sea This, The Sea That, The Sea Sick...you get the idea.

I also intend to folllow the local used market of reliable dealers such as Consignment Marine with an occassional look at the dreaded e-Bay Motors!

Let me know your thoughts.

Hey Mick, thanks for the shout-out, it means a lot.

Just make sure there's enough room to take the girls out sunbathing :)
