deep funny thing is I was just looking at the back of my marlin magazine at the boat classifieds wondering which one I really wanted. IF I COULD AFFORD IT.

It would have to be a USED mid to late 90s Custom Carolina style boat. mid-50 to low 50 foot range.

or maybe a new mid 40 foot express boat. I like the 43 Viking express.

I sure do wish I had the ability to have to make this Tough decision.

42' Wesmac. They can take a pounding and are a great platform for any kind of offshore fishing.

Tougher question than it seems aint it?

43 Ricky scarborough raised center helm express to me this is the perfect boat.

Given the choice, I would take a Sportsman (Omie Tillet) boat hands down
- 50 -55 ft -

Second, third and fourth choices (in no particular order) Ricky Scarborough, Paul Mann, Sculley

Gotta Win the lotto first...

btw.. Penn internationals only sorry

[Capt_John]

Brand new 50' Buddy Cannady rigged out charter style w/ a pair of CAT's.

You can get that for 700-800K and still have money for electronics,tackle,etc.

Not to mention, a bad ass sea boat.
