He's buying a $100,000+ boat without trying it first?
Soldiers must be doing better than I thought!

Location: Newport RI | I was looking at the 255WA for awhile. Bluefin in general seems to have a good rep in the NE & the Islander looked like a real tank in the dealers lot, but I've never been on one. A local surveyor had a smaller Bluefin & liked it. If you ever watch "On the Water" magazine's show they're often fishing out of a Bluefin. Drawback? - resale down the line could be harder than a bigger name. Is he looking at an inboard diesel? |
