Gradys are the gold standard for small outboard boats. They are rock solid and they hold their value like nothing else. I know guys who still run their 20 year old rigs.

7/27/2005 5:13:32 PM

7/27/2005 5:14:36 PM

^ boston whaler hands down then grady.....

and there are some custom boat makers around that make smaller "carolina hulls" that are just fucking awesome

7/27/2005 5:14:46 PM

<3 carolina hulls

we were catching bait at the 5 mile buoy off of emerald isle and a dude strolled up in a beautiful regulator 26 with twin two fiddys on the back

buy a boat for a wedding ring? It would be nice, but i plain on leaving my boat flimsy after racing it hard.


here's my wants. my experience is on boats of this size and one just like the first:


i would kill for this one


But this boat will will fucking go...to bad you have to import them from new zealand.

7/27/2005 5:25:03 PM

yeah dude.... yeah

but i must say... when a fountain pulls up with that fucking s curve in the nose and the stepped hulls
my panties get moist

7/27/2005 5:25:31 PM

Bayliner had some major quality issues back in the day, but I'm told they are rectified. Wait 'til winter to buy a boat.



Hellz fuckin' yeah!!! That's what it looked like when me and Dad got into some dolphin the other day. he started to clean it up I yelled "Fuck the blood, we'll clean it later! LET'S CATCH SOME FISH!"

[Edited on July 27, 2005 at 5:28 PM. Reason : BLOOD]

7/27/2005 5:26:11 PM

^^Fountains will pound the shit out of you. Its cool going 60 mph on the water as long as you dont mind picking your teeth of the non skid. And

Grady >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Then Whaler, specially the new Whalers


^^^$130k For one of them Regulators



God I wish REgulator still made this hull

i will never own a bayliner.... ever .

7/27/2005 5:27:25 PM

i will never own a cigarette boat or a large motorboat ever.

7/27/2005 5:28:46 PM

Unless something changed Brunswick Marine pwns everybody anyway, so I don't know how much difference it makes.

7/27/2005 5:30:29 PM

Restricted you're right... the one i rode on was mid 90s and had the carolina style hulll these new ones suck


but fountains do not beat you anyworse @ 45 then a fishing boat does there... but when the water is calm... they fucking roll

[Edited on July 27, 2005 at 5:32 PM. Reason : .]

7/27/2005 5:31:35 PM

cue the DURRR pic of that dude reeling in...

7/27/2005 5:38:30 PM

I just hate the Whalers euro transoms, its cuts off so much fishing room, thats why I love bracketed motors.

The Foutains do get pretty bad, any Carolina Classic, Reguator or Albemarle will be a smooth ride no matter because of their deep V but they rock and are fucking wet.

Im looking to get 24-26 knots at 4400 RPM going offshore.

7/27/2005 5:38:39 PM

7/27/2005 5:39:32 PM

Id be game, we can enter tournaments and shit. Have memebership fees and split costs

7/27/2005 5:42:02 PM

Count me in. And I'm pretty sure I can get my folk's marina to throw some sponsor $$$ our way.

Speaking of those classic Carolina hulled smaller rigs, my buddy in Nags Head builds some nice ones. I already asked if I could 'test drive' one for the tourney this weekend. lollll At $150K a pop, I don't think he's down with that. lol

And for the record, I'd take a Grady White over a Boston Whaler any day of the week.

7/27/2005 5:54:29 PM

yeah seriously, I think we'd do ok in some tournaments

the guy that has been putting me on fish seems to know what the hell he is doing

I just sit back and listen to him and reel the fish in

7/27/2005 6:13:54 PM

My dad and I are looking at a Navy Blue 32 ft Regulator forward seating. Been my dream since I can remember. REALLY hope he buys it. I am on the Exterminator Fishing Team out of Charleston, SC on my buddies 40ft Ocean Yacht the Exterminator II. You wanna talk about a blast just spend the summer fishing the SC Governors Cup Series!! Hey BMWBlonde who is your dad a broker with and were you in my Public Relations class like WAY back?

I get jealous when a regulator flies by me

7/27/2005 6:23:01 PM

I get paid to go fishing, diving, and boating.

How you like dem apples?

^^ I tagged some billfish on the Autopsea up there in Charleston

[Edited on July 27, 2005 at 6:27 PM. Reason : .]

7/27/2005 6:25:33 PM

well, eventually people are gonna pay me money to take them fishing

I don't see as to how that can be a bad thing

7/27/2005 6:26:18 PM

i thought it said "beating off at work"

7/27/2005 6:26:20 PM

my dad designs/builds boats down in alabama

he used to have a 48' Pacemaker Yacht, twin chrysler engines, all wood, 3 bedrooms, dining/chilling area. apartment on water

pretty much slept on that thing when I was too drunk to go home back in the day. damn I miss that boat

^haha, same here...that was actually the reason I clicked on this thread

[Edited on July 27, 2005 at 6:27 PM. Reason : adfa]

7/27/2005 6:26:50 PM

I'm wondering if those apples need a USCG licensed captain.

7/27/2005 6:27:43 PM

I wish my family took more trips to the ocean

I lurve boats but never get to go on them :sigh:

<3 ocean

7/27/2005 6:29:48 PM

I am hoping to finish my work down here in Miami and I'd love to work through the NOAA Fisheries office down here and start putting more satellite tags in fish up there in North Carolina.

I'm going to Iztapa this winter.

7/27/2005 6:30:22 PM

gregory take me to the ocean

haha that sounded like I've never been

but still......let's go

7/27/2005 6:31:29 PM

I'll be in fisheries and wildlife when I get my credits straightened out

Get some grant money and let's f'n roll.

7/27/2005 6:35:51 PM

^^ Thanks man.

^ Thats the only limitation! Dr. Jerry Ault (Univ of Miami) is flying up there with his grad students and me to put some tags in some Tarpon off Minnessott and Oriental sometime before October. Jerry Ault has been putting tags in tarpon all over Mexico, Turks and Caicos, Louisiana, Florida, Texas, and only 2 in NC. His students do some fuckin' awesome stuff!!!!!!

7/27/2005 6:38:06 PM

anyone else always eat at m&m's in oriental?

7/27/2005 6:41:40 PM

They will be gone by October. Send me and pwrstrkdf250 some tags and some $$$ for expenses, and we'll tag a load of them this weekend at the tourney.

Seriously though, if you need some tagged, and you haven't fished for them in this area, you're fucked. You need to talk to Capt. George Beckwith. He's done a good deal of studies, tagging included, on red drum in the area. You definitely need to hook up with him.

7/27/2005 6:42:42 PM

^^ I never ate there

I used to eat the trawl door right at the foot of the bridge alot though

7/27/2005 6:44:09 PM

ok since gregory is out of the question....

who is gonna take me on their boat

~E

7/27/2005 6:48:37 PM

^^^ I fished with George all the time when I was in NC. I am pretty good friends with him.

If you see him, tell him Mark Fitchett says whats up.

He got married down here in April.

My dad is fishing the tournament.

Everyone is tied up until the beginning of September. We'd go out with George anyways if we went.

The Trawl Door now belongs to us. And that's where our marina is.

M&M's is good. Though they have trouble finding decent help, and it is an all out small town rumor mill. Other than that, it's cool. lol
