New England Boat Show

[Mist-Rest]

I left at the last minute and didn't bring my camera. I took a few with my cell phone but I knew that was not going to work very well.

I had a long conversation with the guys from Hunt Yachts. I'm an outboard guy and they are now hanging them off an Armstrong bracket on the Surfhunter 29. They offset the weight issue by moving everything forward below the deck. The boat is designed for a 22 knot cruise and that's a little slow on flat water for me. Also my fear is the lines of the boat are going to get out of shape. Maybe I'll warm up to a I/O. At the asking prices I've got a few years to figure it out.

In the Clorox Bottle department I have to admit the Pursuit 310 really caught my eye but If I move, it would only be to a 28 foot foot boat and they didn't have one there. The new BW 28 Conquest was a nice looking boat but nothing close to what Pursuit was showing off.

In any event I'm in no rush and made it clear to the salespeople. We are very happy with the boat we have now.
