There is something about this boat it's size, lines, design, simplistic, functional, not overbearing exterior and interior..

to me, my humble opine, it all comes together.

Ooops how'd those lure pics get in there..jaysus..

Excellent article a few years back in Yachting World about the "Patricia" one of the first few 61's that went out the door. I'm pretty sure I threw the magazine away, if I remember, the pages we're stuck together.

lol, Agitated...yep gives me a canyon sized fo sure..

I had Jamie MacGregor show us a couple last year at the Lauderdale show..the only ***** I had being tall is the engine room..head room height and closeness, although that is a good thing for low center of gravity with the weight of the ponies.

With the coin that goes down on one of those baby's...the engine room is probably one of the last place's the owner goes or is concerned about...

Oh I agree, 100%, but I love engine rooms and knowing what all is going on in the chest cavity.

Sportfish are like women, you think you found the ultimate, then along comes another with a line you haven't seen before..then it all goes to ...well you get the idea..

I just think overall this girl has it dialed in..

Don't get me wrong, the new designs, and you can start the list..Weaver, Paul Mann, Willis, Bayliss, Spencer, American, Whiticar, and so on and so on..Carolina, MD, Florida..they're all phenominal, somehow I just gravitate back to this classic.

Kinda like the Masher..(LNG series)..the YAP..etc etc..proven designs.

boat lines are nice, the lures on the other hand....
nice shear, nice engine spaces, etc.
but those lures look like . . . well they all can't be winners.
