That was a great day for sure, a pleasure to meet you and your girlfriend

Thanks so much

looking forward to when the owner gets back to the office and we can finalize. Its been a difficult week waiting. lol

I have transport ready to pick up

I'm not a broker. I own a Yacht Management business that manages/maintains/Captains or delivers yachts (via water), but I also happen to manage a 27' outrage and 32' outrage and used to this 25' outrage for my existing yacht customers.

Snwghst happened to send me a link on a 2015 Everglades 248 bay boat with a single 300hp and asked what my thoughts were given his usage (but wanted to be able to venture offshore 30-60 miles occasionally) and the boat was a little light on fuel capacity for that. But the lightbulb went off and it happens that one of my long term customers has a very low hour, mint, indoor kept 2014 25' Boston Whaler outrage with 2-200hp verados with extended warranties to 2022 and it's a fully optioned boat that he'll sell at a good price as there's no brokers/commission involved.

Snwghst- Thank you for lunch. Had a great time with you and on our boat ride. Try Dave on his office phone on Monday...... he gets poor cell reception at his work, try the cell second.

Your very welcome, thank you for your time and some good laughs

Will do, I sent him a text earlier in the week

Congratulations! Very nice boat.

30-60 miles off shore ... I like the idea of twin outboards! That'd be a tough pull of the oars!

Very nice. I like the color and the glass around the helm. I've never seen that before.

congrats, looks like a nice set up for sure. I did not see any specs on the purchase. What year are the Mercs, hours, etc.
What are the specs on the whaler?

Probably a lot better choice.
I wouldn’t go 30 miles off shore in a bay boat for anything, particularly in the Gulf.
Edit to add; just went and saw the pics. Nice! Looks immaculate!

Love whalers! Nice walkaround, too.

I was originally looking at an Everglades 243 Hybrid. Not a true bay boat

This BW is much better for what I do. Very thankful Jimmy123x had an option. AL and MS coastal islands, Chandelier islands. I’ve been running my current 21ft Pursuit to all those currently

Nice boat, congratulations and good luck with her. That looks like about a perfect boat for me to use diving some of the wrecks around CT, MA, RI, etc. For my needs though, it just makes more sense to charter someone else’s boat. I wouldn’t get near enough use to justify an investment as large as that. It is a beautiful boat.

I dropped tanks and regs off to get tested and rebuilt the other day

Outstanding! I would say you’ve got the perfect boat for some great diving!
