Re: Puget Sounders

Neah Bay is always a blast. I was out there freediving last month for the lingcod opener. We loaded up on rockfish, lings, scallops, and limpets. That area is never a bust because there are always plenty of Black rockfish around to keep you busy.

2004 30' ACB DVR $300k

I just came across this ACB DVR on boats.com. It's a 2004 with just over 800 hours. I always thought the DVR model was kind of goofy looking but they are starting to grow on me. I love center consoles but the weather up here is a bit too wet and cold, so maybe this is the solution. http://www.boats....

Re: 25 foot aerohead

LOL, I didn't want this deal to get posted! I have been in touch with the owner and told him I will buy it the day my boat sells, if it is still available. He has it set up as a commuter with 6 suspension seats, so it would be really easy to modify to your needs. He is a multiple boat owner and just...

Re: Just ordered a new boat need input on motors

Like everyone said, service is going to be the main issue. I'm a Suzuki man and their fly by wire is awesome. I guess you can get that on the F250s now too. I'd be willing to bet that the Suzuki 300s and the Yamaha F250 will use almost the same amount of fuel. Ask the guys at Armstrong if they have ...

Better Looking ACB

A few months ago I was talking about the new and improved, 2009 ACB Extreme Pro that I saw at the Seattle Boat Show. They just sent out a few pictures of the boat and it is definitely much better looking that their earlier boats. http://imagehost.vendio.com/preview/ic/icanauctionit/IMG_4848.jpg http...

Re: New Boat?

I'll work on getting some more pictures up. It still hasn't been in the water. Right now we are waiting for Volvo to come out and program the computers. It should max out around 40. The Aerohead charter boat in Illwaco has a D6-370 and gets about 34mph at WOT.

Re: New Boat?

I wouldn't offer a dime for a Raider if I had intentions of taking it offshore. For the Puget Sound and lakes, it is an affordable boat with a really nice layout. I bought my Raider before the days of AAB.com. I owned a few boats and knew enough about aluminum to know that "aluminum boats"...

Re: 2008 28' Motion Marine $250k

I'm definitely not a fan of the boat. If they lost the diamond plate, took off an engine, and maybe used some drawing tools other than a ruler during the design process, it would be a bit more appealing. I've talked to people that have had work done at MM and they've all been happy with the service ...

I have a 2007 Ram 3500 crewcab, with the 6.7 liter. It tows and drives great and I love the exhaust brake. I usually get 17 on the hwy but managed 18 on one trip. That number is according to the computer since I'm too lazy pencil it out.

I think they can cover any of their seats with the Ballistic Nylon as an upgrade. The patriot seat in Nylon was around $700 but I picked up one that was an in-stock left over, for a little less. They can also add a dual zone heater for only $150 to most of their seats. That seems like a steal for us...

I made it back to the show and the Moose was a work of art! I probably would have went with STIDD seats on a boat of that caliber but the ballistic nylon fabric on the Bentleys Mariner seats was very nice and the matching fabric on the walls was awesome. Consequently I went over to the Bentleys boot...
