Changed my mind after an Amazing snapper hunt 30 miles offshore in 4 footers. Brought home a cooler full and almost fell asleep at the wheel. The boat is no longer for sale. If I knew how to pull the add I would.....can't let it go!!!!!

I figured you would come to your senses!!!! Good for you! Back to the same old question, how do you replace it for less than $85k?

[Eric B]

Can't be done Don. Nice new cushy cabin cushion and a nice $100 bean bag and the better half is happy enough. Hope to see you in Sept!!!
