    Looks good. I wonder how it rides with a ton sitting on the transom. Those 425s are HEAVY.

    Nice boat but to clarify you were having issues with screws falling out, wiring, and hull components so you went and bought the same “tier 1” brand to resolve it?

    I'm selling hers, applying it toward purchase, and throwing in another hunert.

    No to the upper station.

    I am told the 425's have so much more torque it overcomes the weight issues easily. Top speed near 60 mph.

    I hear they intentionally make the boats with loose screws so you will buy another...


    Ordered the Grey Cloud color. My 32 is ready in Feb. Order soon. The new 30 ft is already 1 1/2 years sold out.


    Thanks to Going Coastal for the help!!!

    Perfect for those of us with loose screws and foot disease.

    Maybe it’s the console but that boat doesn’t look 32ft.

    Congratulations. And should you ever need crew to pay for gas and pull anchor, remember, black lives matter...

    No to the seakeeper gyro. It might help with a guest at times but it’s better to leave those with seasickness at the dock.

    This boat combines fishing, spearing and diving business in the rear with cushions, sound system and pleasure in front in a towable boat.

    Sure doesn’t. That’s the first thing I thought of as well.

    I have entered into the final 10 "good years" of life. 70 is probably the end of bouncing out to the Gulf Stream and climbing out of the water with a scuba tank on my back.


    What is important to me is spending time with my family. A new boat with comfy cushions and a good sound system encourages family members to vacation and spend weekends with me. I can't rely on my personality to attract them.


    My father did the same. We enjoyed the lake house and summer trips on a small slow sailboat in the Bahamas.

    The Sportsman is the perfect blend of adrenaline filled speed, sporting fulfillment, or just chilling with the family. It is a SC made boat that has stood behind their product.


    While I do not require "new" or all the creature comforts, my family throughly enjoys them. All my kids and their spouses enjoy offshore fishing, intense spearing or maybe just a booze cruise. I like speed and comfort. We may go offshore 80 miles or travel 70 miles in the Keys to an out of the way place to spear. I pick the day so I can cruise at 40 mph and keep my teeth.


    I am sure trading a perfectly fine two year old boat is wasteful. With 8 "good years" left I plan to waste as much as I can afford. I encourage you to find ways to enjoy time with your family. In the end they are the only important things you leave behind.
