  12. 27 Ocean Master Ocean Skiff 2004 SOLD

    in Boats, Fishing and Marine Items For Sale

    Posted

    This is a very cool one owner boat. It is rigged nicely with a high quality fiberglass T-Top. It has a GPS, Radar and two Fish Finders including a Furuno FCV 585 (nice unit). It has an upgraded leaning post with integrated livewell that was a factory option. It pushes surprisingly well with it's single 250 Evenrude (27knots at 4300 RPMs). The engine runs perfect. The previous owner said it never gave him a hint of a problem. I had an Evenrude dealer plug into the computer and print out a snapshot summary. It's as good as anyone could ask for. It's never overheated, 87% of it's hours are below 4000RPMs and it's only had one minor code and that was at 65 hours. It now has 520 hours and runs perfectly. I ran it yesterday. Everything on the boat works and is in good shape. Bid with confidence. I am a dealer and own the boat. I'm liquidating it at a great price.

  13. Miami Beach man cleared in deadly Columbus Day boating accident

    I completely disagree. Although the youth towing the boats without lights was a major factor contributing to the mishap, that in itself did not take the lives of the others. What did take their lives was the vessel riding up and over the other vessel. If you are traveling at night or in limited visability you are supposed to post a lookout at the bow and proceed with all due caution. What if it were your boat and you lost all electric power, would that give someone the right to plow over you. I don't think so.

    There are no accidents, only mistakes. Just my opinion.

    I agree, no one should be driving fast enough at night to launch their boat over another. While the lack of lights was a major factor, the Intrepid never should have been on plane after dark. I am always amazed at how fast people will go at night. Boats don't have headlights! If we still enforced maritime law, I bet the Intrepid owner would have been in some deep doodoo.

    When I go out at night or in fog I idle along or run at a slow cruising speed.

    It was very sad and I feel sorry for the parties involved.

  18. NYC Boat Show

    Here is what I found out: Saturday was the busiest day in memory. 20,000 gate vs 15,000 previous years. There were serious, qualified buyes all over the place. The place was jumping right until the Sunday close.

    I was told that the various BC brands sold 61 boats at the show. My friends in other brands had sales and more importantly, serious interest from qualified buyers. The dealers walked away smiling.

    That is great news; thank you for the information.

  21. NYC Boat Show

    I went to the show last night, here is what I found:

    It was smaller than last year but seemed to have better variety.

    1) A number of larger cruisers including Saber and quite a few Brunswick boats Searay etc. The boats were up to 50 feet.

    2) More 23-36 foot fishing boats including a nice Lurrs, Buddy Davies, Yellow Fin, Edgewater, Pursuit, Whaler and Grady.

    3) A nice photo guy who was not selling anything but was knowledgeable and let you look at stabilizing binoculars and lens.

    4) The typical electronics and marine related equipment. This area was lacking and was smaller.

    All in all a better show at a better time of the year and a great way to spend a few hours in January.

  25. Made In The USA

    "Penn is very clear about what products are "Made in USA".

    In their 2010 catalogue, at the top of the page showing any given reel, is a US flag and "Made in USA" indicated.

    A basic rule of thumb for Penn is that the dividing line is at about $225, with the reels above that line being US made.

    For the various Japanese mfgs, the dividing line is at around $275-$300 between actual "made in Japan", and made in Maylasia, Viet Nam, Singapore, etc., etc.

    Penn currently makes 31 different models in the USA, more than any other reel company, and of more than 25 conventional models in development for the 2010 ICAST Show [no guarantee they will all make the cut], the majority will be US made."
