Won't be a problem here.  Boat won't be moored.

Copy that.

I'm glad I didn't...Fricken seagulls make a mess

Do you have raw water washdown on the boat?

Yeah, I thought the advantage of sea deck was easy clean up. But I’ve never seen it in person, supposedly you can hose it down. I can’t imagine how nasty seagull poo might be……… ?

It will be on my next one in a couple of years...?

 

Right now I leave a bucket on board and it was filling up pretty good with rain we got last year. If it didn't rain I could walk out to it at low tide and do the clean-up/maintenance it needs. Not even a 1/4 mile walk from the house, actually maybe half that. Around mid-season I carried the battery back to charge...so not bad

I have it in my Hobie Compass, and it's pretty awesome. A little oxy spray light scrub and it's as new. 

Something I'm wondering about. About 50% of the hybrids don't have lockable rod storage. What is the reasoning behind this?

No clue. Caymas has lockable. 

 

Nice boat, not fast enough.

Fast enough for me - 39mph is only 1mph below the speed limit on my lake...

Lol, been slow at work. I'm watching boat videos.

No limit on my lakes

Is there a marina near by? You’ll be going through some serious gas at better than 39 mph and that size boat.

The only thing missing is a deck insert

 

I like everything about it except the front deck.  The cushion snaps are junk.

Only 55 mph? Too slow for JF.

It's in my bottom range, lol.  I'd prefer something around 70 for top speed.  I don't want to be sucking fuel at WOT going 40 mph.  I'd rather sip fuel at 40% throttle doing 40 mph.

If you're bored, here's a walk thru of the Miami boat show.

 

This thread had me thinking a couple of months ago about the possibility of upgrading to a bigger boat. Guess I'll wait until next year or so. I wouldn't be able to afford the fuel.

 

@slonezp, I hope work picks up for you so you won't keep posting all these boats.

Unleaded Regular E10 was $4.58 /gal. yesterday.  I was in a hurry, so I only pumped $10, and realized that was less than three gallons, lol.

I can imagine what the marina's will be charging this year. Back in '08 gas got to about $4.11/gal and I think the marina's in Kennebunkport were selling gas in the $7's. My little Edgewater with it's 70HP will do just fine this year.

And I'm cringing because it hit $3.99 here the other day.

 

I have a 'cheat' - grocery shop at Cub, for every $100 spent, get $0.10 per gallon off at Holiday...of course, right now I'm sitting on a $0.30/gallon discount with a 3/4 full tank in the truck.

We don't have anything like that here. I could get a BJ's membership but there's none right close by. If this goes on further, I may have to rethink this whole boat thing.
