There is nothing like lying flat on your back on the deck, alone except for the helmsman aft at the wheel, silence except for the lapping of the sea against the side of the ship. At that time you can be equal to Ulysses and brother to him.

I bought this one!  http://www.bdoutdoors.com/forums/threads/2008-blazer-bay-1860-snook-hunter-for-sale.576835/


It's a Blazer Bay 1860 with a 90hp Yamaha 4 stroke. Humminbird 1186c si fish finder/chart plotter, MinnKota 80# trolling motor with I-pilot and a foot control. I just put in 4 new batteries, 2 for starting/house and 2 for the trolling motor.

Got it back in Feb. I've had it out 4 times and my son another 6 or 7 times including down to San Diego and twice to Catalina. I was on a 2 1/2 day trip on Memorial Day weekend and son had boat out paddy hunting for YT.
When I was your age Pluto was a planet!

Tugboat, that's a boat of dreams!!  I have a Saltwater Fishing book written by Mark Sosin and Georgo Poveromo and in it are a bunch of different Mako CC hulls; for the past 15 or so years I've drooled over that book.  I hope to have a 261 at some point.  Just outstanding vessels.
