I got the 2.5ftitis

[DE18]

HI there as it mention's I have got the 2.5ftitis. Looking at going a bit bigger than the 17.5 double eagle i have now. I'm looking at the the 20ft hourstons, 20ft DE or a 20ft Grady. Looking to manily fish locally and across the straight and maybe spend a night or 2 on a couple of occasion through out the year. I have been told the 20ft Grady are nice but two guys can get tight while sitting beside each other. I have never been on any of these boats mentioned and if anyone wants to send any input it would be much appreciated. I would likely try and pod the Hourston or DE if I go that route.

Thanks again great site. DE18

In the 20 range those 3 would be my top choices all well built quality boats good luck

Check out a 19 or 21 Arima. Tons of space plus a decent cuddy.

Is that what they told you? That's a good run. Saw that and those line are nice though. Love the look of those boats. DE18

Print out? Usually mostly trolling hours, lots of off lease Yami's come out to swap it out when it dies and then you have a parts motor and controls.

Have you looked at bigger then 20 foot boats? I'd definitely go for something with an 8'6 beam. I got 7.5 itis and the 8'6 beam and we can fish 3 guys nicely.

Yikes, figures. I'm sure the kickers up there as well if there's that many on the main...

Becoming a difficult hull to track down in reasonable shape.. Perfect size with the pod and deep gunnels

X2 on the 8' 6" beam. We upgraded this year to a 25' pursuit and it much more comfortable to fish out of then our 18.5 Malibu. Really big cuddy to for overnighting. Pursuit also makes a 22' which is nice

That’s just the break in period. It’s good for another 300,000 hours.

Yah he emailed me back. Engine needs some stuff and the trialer needs wiring done
