pretty sick boat

to make room for a four scoop tank, so your bait doesn't get beat to shit when you are doing 50 knots going out

Put the tank in front of the console and put 1 scoop in it and they might survive.

You're going need all 350 gal of gas with that baby.

i'd fish it.

East coast boat. Go fast out for tournaments, come back fast to outrun the weather we rarely, if ever, get. Lot's of gas. Reminds me of the 39' Midnight Express that the Customs & Border Patrol run in San Diego (the one with the 4 each 225 HP motors that does 70+ in good water).

Heard an old timer Captain in a seminar once say "Don't matter how fast you can go in your boat since most of our ocean is a 16kt ocean most of the time" or words to that effect. Sick lookin' ride though. Feel kinda wierd fishin' the local kelp in it, pullin on calicos and sand bass.
But if you buy it, I would fish on it with you!

Probably ganna be in a slip right ??

Great for running to the grounds and back but for that kind of money I would get something that you can spend weekends on or fish for days at a time......
