Where have all the glass O/B open bows gone?

[Scott Rickard]

I'm a fairly good internet researcher and I'm having a devil of a time finding new 18-20' fiberglass open bows with dual console and an outboard.

I've seen the Seaswirl 1851:

I've seen the Lund Tyee:

I've seen a number of deckboats, including the Hurricane SD 1900:

Are you aware of any other quality boats out there in this configuration?

Thanks!

[Mikey no fish]

Bayliner trophy has one.
Are you looking for a fishing/family boat?

[Scott Rickard]

Thanks - I'll check it out.

Yes - pretty much looking for a fishing/family boat. More fishing than family (but I do need a place for my wife to take in the sun while I soak worms).

Not interested in aluminum or I/Os.

Are you buying new are used?

[Scott Rickard]

Probably used (3 or 4 years old) unless I can get a smoking deal on dealer overstock.

Right now I'm just trying to determine what's out there in the configuration I'm looking for.

Let me know if you would like to take a run in my Striper. Iam moored in Oakgrove and fish at least 2 times a week.

there is a used Boat dealer on the East end of the Sellwood bridge, I see they have quite a few used - but newer boats.

Check the Grady White tournament. The one I have works great for the family fun and hardcore fishing fun.

[Scott Rickard]

Thanks Mikey - I appreciate the offer! When the time gets closer, you'll be hearing from me.

And thanks for the tips on looking at Arimas, Gradys and the boats at Brinsfield's.

Best,
Scott

Triumph makes a slick little 19 footer. No carpet and you can take all the cusions off if your planning on fishing for easy cleanup at the end of the day.

There's a 17' Sea Pacer on CL (PDX) right now. Early 2000's but with older engines. I don't get why it has older engines unless the guy kept them through an upgrade and put the older ones on the Sea Pacer.

Good to know - thanks Danno
