It is finally boat upgrade time after 8 years, in my lil 5.2m tub. Billfisher 735 seems to fit the bill but likes hens teeth to find a decent 2nd hand one.... Its a dilemma...  ------------- I always tell the truth about things that never happened |

Yeah, thanks segador, kind of what I thought, it'd be nice to have a reasonable standing area at front of boat. ------------- I always tell the truth about things that never happened |

Best option for a front casting deck is a Grady-White walkaround model although very expensive and arguably the finest fiberglass boat manufactured in the USA (sorry Boston Whaler lovers). Extremely stable boat and great in very rough seas. Suggest you look at their website. ------------- Grady- White Guy |

it's almost an oxymoron. Some sort of walkaround....Trophy, billfisher, scorpion. |
