Btw, thats a hella expensive boat for what you get! A guy could get a nice used catamaran, and a longer one at that, for the same price. I wonder how a 35 foot single hull commands the same price? It sure doesn't look like that much boat...
It fished well, though.
People that use their boats to make a living can get in trouble when they buy way too much. Well, they get sold way too much. The boat I sold had a sonar and nav system in it that was overkill. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to use only about 10% of what it was capable of. You need backup sonar if you're hunting submarines, but for fishing, somebody just soaked you for an extra 20k.
They get you on the interior big, too. No one is going to pay you for a charter just because your bench seats are corinthian leather. They pay you, and come back, when you land fish. Do you want to pay $1500 a day to have a good time, or do you want to pay those dollars because the boat you're on has a marble countertop? Personally, I take mine out for a few days at a time, and don't want my issue while I'm out to be a broken Murano glass chandelier.

Any plans for the cash?
1) Wise financial investments at the bank.
2) Las Vegas/Las Vegas accessories.
3) The full donation amount allowable by law to 2 Hawaii politicians. Ones I think will win. I always wanted to see what doing that will get me.
Aloha!
