Captain Steve you're lookin good and sounding good. What are you buying? This or a comparable Boston Whaler?

[thelight]

Looks like a top of the line boat, maybe compares to a Hatteras on the larger side or maybe a Pursuit on a similar sized side, anyway that boat is high end and it looks it.

[splintel]

Love the boat, but too little space behind the seats, guess this is part of hybrid boats for shallow fishing.

[marshmellow]

Like to see you compare this to a 26 SeaCat. Less expensive, will run 70, and ride much smoother.

Anyone else thinks Capn Steve looks like MacGyver?

[timsmithoutdoors]

Getting rid of those captains chairs and replacing with a leaning post would save some room behind.

Vent should be out the side. Not up my nose 🤢 every thing else 🤙🏽💯

What’s the difference between this and a 28ft Grady white canyon?

[clifbradley]

Total cost $658, 000. What a bargain! Well I know it isn't that much, but pretty close. There are so many better options that aren't as much as a 2 bedroom 1500 sq/ft waterfront condo in Pinellas county

I love gw but hope everyone knows this guy and co. Are getting paid by the manufacturer for their endoresement. Would love to find someone doing non biased evaluations cause this ain’t it!
