Boston Whaler's were pioneers in the 70's and 80's when they would cut their boats into pieces with chainsaws, fill them full of people and water, etc, and they would still float. I would pay for that, as I have never seen another boat manufacturer (including grady white) make an unsinkable claim that they could back up. Grady White's have an extremely deep V, so they burn more gas, can't get in shallow water, take longer to plane, etc, but you won't find a better/drier ride. I have been 60 miles out in the gulf stream on a 19' tournament Grady White on a calm day chasing spadefish. I have also been out on several scouts that buddies own and love. We have these arguements all the time. As far as your Carolina Skiff comment, they make good crabbing boats, but that is about it. Flat bottom=crappy ride, enough said about that one. :mrgreen:

You are not familiar with boston whaler's, are ya? Probably the most expensive mass produced boat for the size, minus maybee edgewater, and they are the same quality as the whalers......

nice larry! I went to larry looking at a new 2012 210sxf. That boat was/is perfect for all around functionality. Plus the wifey loved the big lounge seat up front. I will definently buy one one day. Seriously..why buy a fbody when one can afford a corvette? lol Thats the way I look at it.

I'm glad I didnt purchase when I could have larry. Would have been in quite a pickle now seeing that I've been out of work for 2 months lol. Next spring might be the time though and if so I'll definently be giving you a call again bud.

Wrong. They are a better boat than you state, but are not that dry, unless you are comparing them to your Sea Hunt.



Wrong again. Only Edgewater Boats would tell you that.

Please take your top level expertise elsewhere. Your lack of common decency has blown this thread apart without knowing what you're talking about.

So if we apply your logic to pony cars you should have bought a fox body mustang instead of a 4th gen F-body.

As you know, I have never been a fan of editing posts.

Far from it. With you it would be much more believable. You do have a fox body that would drag my S-10.

Dont get all bent out of shape big guy I was :joke:. As far as having a boat been there done that. Bought a 17cc Seafox new in 2002. I grew up on the water so I thought it would be great. Honestly, I found it neither fun nor relaxing. Between having to take care of loading the boat in the morning and unloading the boat in the afternoon then scrubbing and washing the salt water off the boat and aluminum drive on trailer I found it to be more work than anything. Combine that with seemingly having to tow someone back to the hill every other time I went out or being harassed by the DNR every other time, topped off by the fact that every tom dick and harry with a credit score over 600 has a boat these days (who have no business behind the wheel of a boat) I really didnt find it all that much fun at all honestly. But to each his own I guess.

Yea i havent had any of those bad experiences. I also havent been in the saltwater yet so i havent got to scrub that off. Idk i guess i enjoy it because its something new and enjoyable at the moment. I just keep catching myself looking at performance stuff for it but i know i dont need to do that. I need to leave it be.
