I'd say that's a pretty good outcome considering everything.

No worries- it's wicked in person. Looks like it doesn't get used much.

Funny story- there's some old wood in the building where it's kept that we're using in our new house. My builder likes to fish. When I brought them in there to see the wood, I think they about flipped and thought it was my boat.

Why a person would buy that and not use it as often as possible blows my mind. Sell it and let someone else enjoy it. It's a shame to the boat and the guys who put the work into building it.

If you can't afford the gas, you can't afford the boat. If that's his reason, he needs to sell it.

Boats are one of the main things that I see guys that make a quick lick jump into, then realize just damn expensive they are

Those are also some of the best guys to buy used boats from.

No joke. A boat like that probably burns close to 100 gallons/hr at WOT. Hell it probably gets less than 1mpg. But like said earlier if you can afford a boat costing as much as a house then fuel shouldn't really be a concern. Cost about $2k/weekend to offshore fish a boat like that.

They are fine boats, never fished on one, but a guy on PC MS had one by our boat lauch - looked almost identical to the one in the picture. He got a new badass boat this year. But, I was heading out one time and watched him run a few times out, boat can move. Impressive boat, looks great on the water.

They are one of the finest CC fishing boats i've been on. I would only pick a freeman over an invincible.

I like where you're headed.

Intrepids, YF, Invincibles not much difference ride wise. And they are all good boats that fly. The new Contenders are much improved over their old design with the stepped hull. I've seen all of them get destroyed. Add Everglades, Onslow Bay to the list also. But ALL and I mean ALL will beat the crap out of you, some not as much as others, but you know you've been boat riding after a couple of days. Fact.
