I am personal friends with one of the guys in this video and have been fishing on the orange "A-Team" Nor-Tech. That is seriously one sick boat!!

We were in a tournament in Jax on my buddy's 23 bluewater getting annihilated on the way to the ledge. A-Team blows by us sipping coffee at 50mph. We all just looked at each other and said "We need one of those"

I'm so happy I decided on a convertible in the end, and @ 2:00 is really what sealed the deal for me. Granted I don't live in an area where you can catch big species within coastal distances, but with this new age of center consoles I've seen plenty of them 120+ miles off the inlet. In weather like that (2:00) I make about 25kts, very comfortably, lounging on the bridge watching TV on my TracVision barely turning 2550rpm and burning 32gph. I'll admit that cruising at 55kts in calm weather has gotta be spectacular, but I'll trade that for 2 staterooms/heads a generator and central air/heat any day of the week. There's nothing like popping into a 70 degree salon on a 90 degree day to whip up a few margaritas 110 miles offshore, or laying down on a queen sized bed for a nap; best of all, I can take a nice cool shower in a wide standup head fresh for the trip home. I guess if you live in an area where you don't have to travel 100+ miles each way to the fishing grounds, more power to you. I just don't see why someone would spend this kind of money on a center console, granted a VERY nice center console, in an area where the fishing grounds are so far away.

watch tv, 2 staterooms, heads, central air, few margarita, and nap... you should buy a house, and for the rest go fishing....
@mosipd8 жыл бұрын
I already have a house, so why not enjoy the same comforts while at sea? I get the center console if you live in Florida or on the Gulf, but why anyone would buy one living further up north boggles my mind. Last summer this new guy at the marina bought a huge 50 foot center console, it really was massive and beautiful too. Complete with 4 outboards, huge console with full electronics package, fully loaded really. Last summer we ran out with the Mid-Atlantic Tournament guys and there he was, flying past everyone at the better part of 45kts. He was all everyone could talk about on the radio and I'm sure he got out there in no time. For us it took the usual 6 hours to make the canyon. Well a day and a half later and it's pretty shitty out with a good 8-10ft sea and scattered thunderstorms. Who do I hear on the radio packing it in? Mr. 50ft center console. That's some mighty unpleasant weather for a center console, I don't care what size it is. They must've been beat up by the time they got back. No thank you.

we just dont have the same conception about fishing. Fishing is not taking a nap in air conditioner room with a margarita.
@mosipd8 жыл бұрын
Yeah, well, if you've never fished for any large species of game fish then I could see how you could take that part of my comment at face value. In reality, there's zero time for margaritas when you're spending $5k plus for a weekend of fishing. It takes the concerted effort of 3 people to effectively fish blue water, especially if you don't want to waste anymore of that 5 grand you just wasted on fuel and candy. However you still gotta sleep if you're spending 2 nights at sea, so I'll take sleeping on a queen sized bed in air conditioned comfort over a leaning post or air mattress any day. I was trying to illustrate, rather colorfully, how I'd rather spend $350k on a used 10 year old 46ft Ocean convertible, with all the comforts of home, than on a glamours go-fast with a shitty head in the middle. Like I said, I can understand spending that money if you live near waters where you're traveling 30 miles to catch Marlin, but up north that's not possible. Hence why Mr. 50ft had to go home when it got snotty out and I finished that trip with a 450lb gorilla. Now maybe he caught his slot and went home, I don't know, but I suspect the weather had something to do with his decision.

I go to sailfish, black and blue marlin, yellow fin tuna each year, and have been fishing bluefin tuna during ten seasons. A center console is much more versatile, and you can catch marlin without any problem. No need of 3 people on the back of the boat to fish well, and we can fish more easily at 4 fisherman on a center console that on a convertible or express boat, and no need to speak about fuel consumption, maintenance. Its two different way to go fishing. try to get a rooster fish or a cubera snapper close to the rocks with two stern drive in shallow water, its not funny. If you want to use a popping rod its a nightmare too. That 50 feet was certainly a hydra sport 53 los suenos. I dont like this boat, there are too much space wasted with bench and with a too big cabin for my taste. a perfect boat for me is a CC from 36 to 42 with a good fuel economy, handling well rough weather, plenty of livewell and lot of area for fishing.

I had a 30ft Grady white marlin with twin 250 yamahas. I know what it's like to fill 306 gallons at the marina prices. Grouper fishing 30 miles out going to run you 800$ . even if you have the money it sucks spending that much every time to get some fish. Its just nkt worth it. You guys can keep that flashy stuff. Give me a hatteras convertible and I'll be in the stabbin cabin enjoying myself waiting on lunch to be served.
