So far we have not purchased a boat yet. I have committed to some investment projects for the next year that will keep me tight with time and finances. It seems I always have a pending deal I have to fund. Hopefully about a year from now I will be cashing out and have the time to buy and enjoy...

Steve, We were in*our Hurricane deckboat cruising down the ICW just west of Perdido Key last year and here was this guy in a thong rowing across the ICW that was fairly wide. Luckily, our friend had her DSLR camera with her so we started snapping pics. The guy never looked at us and just kept...

Steve, It is nice to here Louisiana guys out there. I have read a lot of your posts. I think I have about decided to not make a run at the Nova without the lower helm after hearing so many opinions. Hope your having fun down there. Think about us poor guys who can't be out there.

Mike, I have lived in Louisiana all my life and never heard of the Blood River. Of course I am a Yankee since I live up*in West Monroe. But we do have family land down in Placamine Parish. Used to have a family*orange grove until Katrina. In fact, I just finished a meeting with my brothers and...

Mike, Where do you keep your boat? I bought a slip in Madisonville last month. As I already said, everybody keeps bringing up great points about no lower helm. Makes my head swim. Charles

I should have mentioned that the boat is a 40' sundeck. It will have isenglass on the flybridge and we will keep the boat in Madisonville, La. I bought* a slip there a couple of months ago.

Steve, What size engines and mpg do you get on your Present 42? I have looked at the Presents on Yachtworld. I really like the layout and looks of the Present. Thanks Charles

I am looking at a 40' Nova Sundeck. The boat does not have a lower helm. What are y'alls thoughts on this. Would it be a major mistake to buy without a lower helm. The only reason I am considering it is it is a good deal. Thanks

Guys, You guys just don't realize what a wealth of information y'all are feeding us newbies. I was just looking at an old 1971 Defever that looks awful on the outside and not to great on the inside. But, the boat is just twenty minutes from my house on the river. I was thinking of making an...

Daddyo, I see what you are saying. It looks like the keel on the Ocean offers some protection if you were going slow and bumped bottom. But if you kept moving forward it could get nasty.

Here*are two pics of the hull. Also here is the link to *40+2 in Pensacola...

I was looking at a 1979 Ocean 40+2 trawler in Alabama. Is anybody out there familar with them? Ocean builds fish boats and it looks like this boat was built on a fishing hull. Would appreciate any help.
