Congratulations!!!

With a 1,000 mile range, you are ready for the Great Loop, the 7,000 mile version, not the 5,000 mile. Therefore, you only have to fill up 7 times during that year or two trip.

That is a great boat to fish the 3 mile Pensacola Bay Bridge for a couple of weeks at a time!!!!

It is going to look great at Crab Island, you just have to becareful getting close with 4 feet needed, but you know it can be done.

Awesome times are in your future.

Awesome boat! When I moved down here 3 years ago my dream was to buy a similar boat and live on it. That was until I factored in slip fees... Oh well. Really would like to get one still. Good luck with it. As many have already said, I would love to get a look at her. Where is the boat located and how are you getting her to Destin??

Awesome, I have always wanted to ride on one of those. I bet that she is super stable in the nasty cross wave stuff. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the process.

yea... I got a good deal. It needs alot of love, but i like doing stuff like this.

Doing my homework before i bought the boat, they were around 50k...

You can get a trawler for much less, but grand banks is the best, from that time period.



they are really stable handle big seas well

but slow and draws about 4 ft of water....
