Actually, quite the opposite..Its breaking my heart....but like many, my business is feeling the squeeze of this economy.. so I'm needing to downsize.. This was my first bona fide saltwater boat, and in the few years I've had it, I have'nt really built the confidence in my own skills to take it out to the canyons.. But I have made a few trips to the Mudhole/Monster ledge and similar areas out to about 50 miles.. If I did more of it, I would have added outriggers next... It really is a great boat for that kind of mid-shore trolling..nice clean wake, and the rumble of the diesel really does seem to raise'em.. even though I did'nt make many run's, and was as green as a cucumber, we hooked Bluefins almost every trip....

But the fact that I got to do so little of that stuff is another motive to sell.. for the type of fishing I get to do mostly.. Fluke/stripers, etc inshore, it is really more boat than I need.. Although it certainly makes for an ultra-cushy fluke buggy.. Thanks for the kind words!
