Bearcat

I couldn’t agree more with Seeyawader. I understand that not everybody can afford the queen Mary but if you’re totally confident in running that boat out to 170 and beyond on this lake, you haven’t been doing this long enough. Ask any charter captain.

?? Never ran Optimizer spoons but most of my spoons start to spin when I get anywhere near 3.7 down speed

Do you know what weight it's rated for and what the raise /lower range of motion is? I have a 100 lb Yamaha with a long shaft (20"). Thanks

This boat has been SOLD. On to the next project!

I love these posts. You guys sure are lucky to have such great waterfowl hunting out there. The swamps an hour west of Albany where I hunt have been absolutely lousy for the past two seasons, and once those small waters freeze, it's over, so we pretty much get screwed out of any late season hunting. So grouse it is, until it's time to get the boat ready for Browns.

That is me. I removed the latest pair of those 55's from this boat to gain speed because we were often fishing 700 fow this summer. The 140 cut my time in half getting out there, and really wasn't bad on fuel.

Price is $8750, can't believe I forgot that. Thanks for the info. I've been on most of those sites for years, I've done dozens of whaler projects over the years, but I'm rebuilding a Dyer 29 right now that's eating up a lot of my time.

I was there in the late 80's working on new tunnel hulls. 36 hours before a big show like the Miami boat show, we'd cut tunnels out of a finished prototype that they weren't 100% happy with and glass in a set that were slightly different and have the boat ready for the show within 24 hours. Once we cut 5' off the back of a completely finished 28 footer two days before the show, put on an entirely different stern so it would plane better. Had it back together and ready to go, interior and all, in the water looking like new. It was cool to be a part of it but I shudder to think of how much of that stuff is still in my lungs. I've lost a few friends way too young who stayed in the industry. Even when you weren't working with the stuff, somebody in the building was grinding or cutting it all day long.
