Nice boat!

We need more details.

 

[PatrickPresti]

more details to come...

 

[Super Suck]

Looks like Ben Gardner's boat!

 

[PatrickPresti]

Ha! It does in some way.

Nice boat benn listed on hull truth since 2009

 

[PatrickPresti]

Thanks. Yes it has. I come and go with selling the boat. I love my boat but I would like something just a tad bigger...

Price? Still looking for $30,000? Not thinking about converting to diesel still? Looking to get a Dyer 29?

 

[PatrickPresti]

I'm looking for something in the 25'-29' range. I love the Dyer's but I also love the T-Jason's. Make me an offer!

 

[PatrickPresti]

I don't want to brag but you won't find a nicer 22' Tripp than this one. This boat is a perfect 22 footer...

 

[Seawayva]

I am of the opinion that mine is nicer with the diesel, but I certainly do like yours. The windshield is very nice and really looks good. We toyed with getting rid of the hard top (which was installed by the previous owner at a ridiculous price) but the functionality of it is too nice to give up.

Trust me, I understand the whole diesel engine thing. I love diesels, I have been a Detroit Diesel mechanic for a passenger ferry company for around 15 years, I have a diesel car, etc. I get it. Some things to consider with a gas engine on a smaller size boat…
· Fuel savings for a gas vs. diesel engine is not much better on a small boat with a diesel engine. I cruise at about 18kts burning about 4 gph.
· Gas is currently about 50 cents/gallon cheaper than diesel…
· Gas engine parts are extremely cheaper than diesel engine parts. A soup to nuts overhaul on a gas engine is pennies to a small foreign diesel engine.
· Engine life is just as good as a diesel engine. I have seen GM 350’s go for over 5000+ hours in the commercial marine industry.

[PatrickPresti]

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Beautiful boat

I second that.

 

[PatrickPresti]

Thank you again. Whenever I'm out using the boat, I always get questions or nice comments about the boat.

 

[Toolate]

Docking "headlights" in one pic but not the rest?

Nice clean boat.

 

[PatrickPresti]

The pics without the docking lights are older pics. I installed the docking lights a couple of years ago.

Thanks for the compliment.

 

[PatrickPresti]

No prop kickers on this beauty?
