The other day i was putting gas when a former Coastie sees my boat, immediately recognizes it and tells me how they used to love confiscating Avanti's and running them full throttle regardless of the chop.

I've already done it not because I wanted to but I have had to on multiple occassions.

COÑO!!!!!!!

VERY TRUE SAID MIKE, ITS A GREAT BOAT GUYS.

fishertom · 11-24-2007, 11:37 AM

no the 54 Hatteras is a sweet boat

Bill Fisher · 11-26-2007, 03:15 PM

You maybe right on the Avanti and you like you say everyone will defend what their boats. Never ridin an avanti but I'm just saying and I think a lot of people will agree that when it comes to center consoles Venture and Yellowfin have to be one of the best riding hulls and I will put up a 39 venture on 8 footers against any boat and I will take it to you. As far as sportfishes go Hatteras are bad a$$ riding boats but I got to hand it to the vikings

especially the 61 vikings that's a bad fishing machine. If I was to catergorize from best to worst in my opinion customs are the best after customs its a tie between hatty's and vikings.

My buddy Disco Lady will tell you how much he loves 58 Jarret bays. That his favorite boat as a matter of fact he was thinking of working on one but it had to have a carolina blue hull and white top and wanted to name it obliviouless..

fishertom · 11-26-2007, 06:24 PM

thing with vikings is that there a wet ride. hatts are the best

Bill Fisher · 11-26-2007, 08:08 PM

I have to disagree with you I've been through 6 +foot seas and I was dry as a whistle.

Disco Lady · 11-26-2007, 09:46 PM

Yep! that MOMA is a dry boat.

Bill Fisher · 11-27-2007, 08:49 AM

Disco Lady will tell you he's fished that boat several times.

fishertom · 11-27-2007, 08:39 PM

were you guys on a plane or jus trolling

Bill Fisher · 11-28-2007, 09:00 AM

Planing and atrolling. Crossing the gulfstream and fishing rough weather in that Bahamas. I'm not degrading hatty's at all I think they are fanatastic boats but I think Vinking has really stepped it up and I think they are side by side.

fishertom · 11-28-2007, 06:01 PM

ya they are the same but my buddy has a 74 viking and its a very wet ride.

wildkat200 · 11-28-2007, 07:41 PM

I like the 33conch and 34yellowfin.

wildkat200 · 11-28-2007, 07:42 PM

.....conch 33!!

fishertom · 11-28-2007, 09:11 PM

has any1 heard of the 27 blackhawk

lcosta02 · 11-28-2007, 09:27 PM

I have a friend that fishes on a 27 Conch. He says it's a badass ride. I really like my 33 Invincible.

Last weekend we went fishing on Saturday and it was a solid 4-6, with some nasty rollers. We cruised all day at 36 MPH, and not a single drop of water on the boat. Obviously there was some spray, because we were riding north and the wind was out of the East. Either way, the boat was freaking awesome.

On that note, my dad's best friend has a 55 Viking. I've fished the boat many times, and yes, it is a wet boat. A great riding boat, but wet. Actually, I'd put it under the very wet category.

bajakian · 11-29-2007, 09:05 AM

Good luck with your Invincible. I rode a 36 with Rob out of Key West and it was a rocket. Definitely waaay faster than my Venture but I'm not sure that the ride is better as they claim.

Vikings are pretty good rides they are not wet maybe your buddies is and I think they should disclassify that boat as a viking becuase they run strong. I've ran a bunch of them here in Mexico and Costa Rica and recently in Cabo and let me tell you they are Marlin magnets. Great riding hull!. Of course I'm custom fan but I'll take a viking any day maybe even over hatteras.

Bill Fisher · 11-29-2007, 04:14 PM

I have to agree with you Bluefin Runner I'm with you 100%. Disclassify his buddy's boat..

Disco Lady · 11-29-2007, 04:33 PM

I will take that wet pounding 43 merritt and let it roll me off the bridge anytime!

fishertom · 11-29-2007, 09:35 PM
