nice rig. my buddy has that same motor with 2500 hours currently.

If it doesn't work out I am taking out a second mortgage and buying something obscene.  So tired of looking at boats....lots of people do not take care of their boats then want to sell you the headaches.

As for CC's not for me.  I couldn't think of a way to be more uncomfortable on a long steam, especially if you aren't behind the console...

I have been saying it for decades, it is the FL market that drives the industry- Short runs, warm water splashed in your face...

the way I fish I could never work with a cabin style boat. too much maneuvering to be able to cast if the fish don't pop up conveniently. I agree cc's are a wet ride but I personally don't mind. proper bibs and it's nothing. can't beat the fishability of a cc and I'm personally more than willing to sacrifice comfort for fishability.

This boat would be used more jigging lakers and maybe jigging tuna.  Casting is for suckers.  I can cast all day long at the canal...(it was empty Saturday night). 

Re comfort and fishability...you'll learn when you get a bit older.  I tend to like to fish for days at a time.  As hard as I can and I'm not doing that in a crappy CC (I have my stratos if I want to feel the wind)...and this is coming from someone who fished in a century 2901 for a while.  Sick boat, for someone else.

Must be Allan.  They just are not for me....and I know a lot of guys who absolutely slay with cabin style boats.  If I remember you are one of them....

Guiding I have fished out of most types of boats, for me, I like Duel Consols, nothing high to get in the way of a fly, still, fish the front and yes Jigging tuna is fun but watching them hit my plug is more fun! I have no trouble fighting a fish around the whole boat and 2 nice seats and a windshield to block the spray... Early in the season we put the canvas up and can fish the snottiest days. We all know no one boat can do it all, every boat is a compromise...

Nice electronics package on that one. 4G radar is great.

Personally can't understand the center console mania either. I want a full windshield and a roof over my head if I'm on the ocean. But different strokes for different folks they say.

Ended up winning the deal on the 23 proline xp.  Finalize the sale Monday.  Happy because the deadrise on the proline is appropriate to get out there.  The Ocean Scout is a modified v only 16 degrees and I was advised to avoid less than 20.
