I'm more interested in buying the potato he used to take that 1st picture

That’s a shitty dream boat

I really hope someone buys it.

If this was a serious thread, I'd love to see some of the answers from the OB baws. In an attempt to make it semi-serious here goes:
Seahunter 37
Seahunter 28
Scout 420 LXF
36 Blackwater Sport (in a different color combo)
ETA The last two would be my sand bar/Prop Stop rides.

I mean if we are dreaming I'll take Singularis a sweet little 90' Bayliss with a pair of MTU M94s at 2600 hp each.

A sportfisher is definitely my ultimate dream rig
If we must maintain some sense of realism here, I want a 34-38' center console one day.
Marine trouble units

Well we are dreaming, so stick whatever you like under there as well as the biggest sea keeper you can buy.

I'm sure we can figure something out.

If you're running a 90 bayliss it's not like you give a shite. They'll be meticulously gone over by "your guy" every trip. I've never been out on a boat like that but they might even bring a tech out with them.
I can't even day dream about that kind of shite. I couldnt afford a pair of injectors for that boat. I couldnt afford the mattresses in that boat. I couldnt afford to get the barnacles scraped off that boat. I couldnt afford anything associated with that boat
Eta: I just clicked the link. That tub is ridiculous. I think it has more living space than my house

Yea that's kind of where I was going.
However a 90' Viking would be crucial. I've also always liked the Nordhavn 76'

Yeah for sure,
but I have fished 42' - 80' sportfishers (Hatteras and Viking, my uncles boats) for 20 years, and there are plenty of downsides
1. You can't operate that boat without a captain and at least 1 deckhand (for a 90 you'll need 2 deckhands, maybe 3). And most of those dudes are revolving door trash alcoholics and druggies that you have to recycle every 2-3 years. It's a pain in the arse.
2. It's a lot easier to fish a CC in various situations
3. The CC is 2x - 3x as fast

A lot of the captains are certified mechanics for whatever engines their running.
We always ran CATs and I think 2 of the 5 or so captains he's been through were certified CAT mechanics. And yeah it came in handy numerous times while 80 miles offshore.
Have never needed a mechanic when offshore in the Jupiter (knock on wood)

Yea they're not the most practical thing for sure. For a pure fishing machine a big center console makes more sense. A sportfisher is really built for multi (3 or more) day trips with plenty of people, some who aren't salty fishermen. It just isnt necessary for a 2 day tuna trip with 4 guys. Too big, too slow, too expensive, too little room to fish
Mother frick they are nice though.
