Beautiful boat! I love the lines of the East Coast classics. How/where will you use it?

Great lines, beautiful colour, fabulous wood trim, nice, light E-tec....In a word...gorgeous.

Welcome to iboats!

Standing by for a report on the shakedown cruise. Unless of course you live in an ice-locked region of the world like me. Then, well, we'll just cry in our scotch together til late April...:D

There once was a boat from Nantucket....Sorry I digress:)

That boat has great classic lines and has an awsome layout.

I will use the boat just south of Boston, ma. towards Cape Cop. I Fish the rivers alot and just off shore. I can run all up and down the shores with this little guy. Perfect for me.

Just noticed the near flat mounting of the wheel. Nice! I had a wheel like that years ago; great for standing while piloting/fishing, and steering from the forward area. The grab rails on the console are perfect, too. Sweet!

Sweet! Love the lines of that boat! The wood trim and seating areas are very sharp! I love the looks of the helm too.
CONGRATS!!

I noted the key words "just offshore" in your list of intended uses. Perhaps then a kicker to keep that from becoming "way offshore" should Lady Luck abandon ship some breezy afternoon? ;)
