  1. You can't enlarge the pics?
  2. Yeah I would agree with this assessment. Most buyers in this boat's price range usually get bank loans. Not many people with that much disposable income to pay cash. From what I gather and hear it's not that easy getting bank loans for boats these days. Your best bet might be to broker the boat if you aren't already doing so. They can reach a lot more people. I have the larger 2352 hardtop model w/ a 5.7L and I really like the style, power and the way it fishes. Good luck and I hope you sell it soon.
  3. I don't attach them to the fin. I attach them between the ball and the cable. Not sure if your answer was meant for me or not?
  4. Even though I don't have a problem with my Black's releases hooked to the ball, I should think of making this switch since I'm not getting any younger and it's a pain (literally) to be bending over like that so many times a trip. Thanks for the tip!
  5. Kinda harsh calling the guy an idiot don't you think? You have no idea of the circumstances involved as far as him accepting the cash. Just because he took the cash and you would have taken the boat hardly makes the guy an idiot. It was his choice and really not anyone elses business!
  6. There is a seller on ebay who has most of them, but as I recall, he didn't have many 44's. I did buy some from him in the past when they were hard to come by and he is a reliable seller. His prices aren't cheap though. PM me and I can give you his ebay name if you are interested and can't find what you are looking to purchase.
  7. Yes you do. The riser would slide into your mounted track. Yes they would work for wire divers.
  8. Geez....I hope my boat is in the water by then!
  9. LMAO They were actually the best available at their time and beyond. Charter captains swore by them. Always had to change that stylus and have graph paper on hand though. That got kind of old especially with all the newer and better technology that became available.
  10. With your job, I'm sure you would have been the 1st to see it.
  11. Any recent survey? Has the transom and stringers been assessed recently?
  12. Next to your head that fish would look small!
  13. The cheapest models will cost you about 1700 bucks for the whole set up plus the cost of installation if you don't do it yourself. You can pay all the way up to close to 4 to 5 grand for some of the more sophisticated models, but that's not necessary for your size boat. Raytheon has the cheapest to some of the most expensive auto pilots around. You can check out their website if you want to look at the various models. There are many choices through various companies. Check out Boe marine, Hodges marine and the GPS store for various models and prices. It would best to talk to someone there for your specific needs. There are also a lot of guys here with full knowledge on what you might be looking for and what might work best for you. Good luck with your search. I'm looking to put a new one on my boat this year too.
  14. Do they still service Force since they stopped making them a while back?
  15. I know we used mono for years going back to the 80's and 90's and possibly into the early 2000's before wire came along and became much more popular for obvious reasons. I'm sure some fisherman are still using mono today.
  16. Get back to work and maybe you would have the cash!
  17. Hope you had someone else on board with you if you had 4 rods out Nice job!
  18. Isn't there any electronics or fishing equipment that comes with the boat?
  19. Sorry bud, according to the rules,a sailing vessel always has the right of way. There is discussion about that being true when the vessel is under engine power, but as a rule of fist, it is the rag boat that has right of way. I thought that was only true if they were sailing, not under power.
