Somehow that got left out of the survey….Sex on a fish boat
That should be a choice!I'm looking at a 255FSH as our next boat......we don't fish at all......Is there a "Only ski from your fishing boat" option
This.No hooks, fish blood, or bait messes on our boat.
Mine started as a fishing boat, when I couldnt catch fish, it turns into pleasure boat then I started picking up trash in the spoil islands of indian river/Intracoastal, I now have a garbage boat
Same. I fish on my friends’ boats and they drink and do watersports on mine.This.
We don’t really do anything other than cruise now - the Admirals kids are both of drinking age and they prefer drinking at the cove/sandbar over water sports. :-/
THAT would be the dream! I’d kill to own a surf boat and a nice enclosed cab fishing boat (both 25 footers). Then of course I’d need a bigger shop.Other than @zipper , who has one boat for each specific use case?
Funny, that is why we buy old boats and fix them up. The 1985 Boston Whaler is a beater fishing boat with a 1985 2 stroke motor. The 1991 Beneteau was neglected as well as this 1991 PDQ. A lot of diy work went into the Beneteau to make her a turn key sailing vessel. The PDQ will need rebedding of just about everything on deck. I like dry boats. With that said, this cat will sail, fish and take us to the beach with her shallow draft instead of hanging out in 10+ feet of water and using our newest boat, a 2019 Zodiac rib to take us ashore. We actually use the dinghy alot. We use it as a waterfront taxi around Burlington harbor to visit waterfront bars and restaurants and go to the beach. I caught a nice smallmouth bass from it yesterday. Diversity is key for us, no one trick ponies in our fleet.Other than @zipper , who has one boat for each specific use case?
HAHA same looking to go from a 210 in a couple years to a 255 once I get some more space to store it. No fishing at all though, its just a great all around hang out boat. That or a Scarab 285 ID if I can afford all the bells and whistles. That is unless I win the lotto then its the Fountain 38SC with Quad 450R's lmaoI'm looking at a 255FSH as our next boat......we don't fish at all......Is there a "Only ski from your fishing boat" option
I‘ve camped out on mine several times and this winter hope to get a camper canvas of sorts made for it, just a rain fly so I don’t wake up to rain on my face.it’s pretty common to see folks using their boats for more than just cruising. Fishing, wakeboarding, or even as a swim platform during the summer. Some even tweak their boats for camping trips (including me)! It’s all about getting creative.
