Yea ive seen them they are sweet. But what do they go for? They are all rigged with high end gear. Sort of an odd hull does anyone know how it handles waves? i saw a few used ones and will post links if you want

Why not check out a 24' Osprey long cabin Same dough, only a foot more freeboard. There is a 26 on my "I wishlist" in florida.

I own a 27LC Orca. A great boat, haldles rough water real well, I go 50-70 miles offshore chasing Albacore (not this year-they weren't here) Only recomendation I would make is you can afford diesel do it, and you must have a TR1 for trolling with a boat that size( it helped be land a 53 lb tyee last year)--Don't scrimp on electronics(read have good radar, GPS, Sounder etc)

If thats the JonhD I've seen in Hardy, the past couple years os so........ITS A HIGH CLASS ACT.

Skipper seem's to know how to catch em as well.

Some like it rough...
Others just puke!.

JohnD,whats a TR1 ?

it must be something in the water

 

[salmonspanker]

the old man finally got things together and the deals went through. We picked up a 22 orca comercial series...nice boat and will be looking forward to running it next season in the canal

The TRI is a remote control device to control the speed and direction of the boat while using a kicker motor. It is much more effecient than the connector rod approach--its expensive but well worth it-yes the John D does spend a month in Port Hardy every summer--thanks for the kind words, there is no subsistute for time on the water.
