Ok, ok, please don't give me too much flak for posting up chlorox bottle, ping pong ball, or better known as fiberglass boats. I like to look at them too.
This particular one caught my eye due to the design. You don't see too many walk around fiberglass boats anymore. Still too Sperry Topsider for me but it was worthy of pictures.
I remember seeing these Beneteau boats a year or two ago at the Vancouver show (Not this year however). Really nice layout (something different eh!), big beam. Really liked them. Seemingly good value as well.
Supposedly they are popular in Europe and have recently entered the North American Market I heard???
Some FG boats like the Parkers and Defiance just seem so... Barren. Great hulls but for what you can get now, but It seems others come better equipped and more practical for the price one would think. Being in an alloy boat for years. That enclosed cabin resin smell hits you hard!!!

Hope all is well down South. Goatram looks really good. The infection in the hip is gone and he's really mobile again (hard to keep up to him still lol). He bought some new props and other goodies for the Miss Eliza and a wack of halibut tackle from the Outdoor Emporium booth at the show. Didn't see Ken. Apparently he didn't enter the show this year

Great pics John thanks for sharing.
Not a huge fan of the vertical badging on the Etecs but other than that those motors look unreal cool (in my ETEC biased eye). Time has already told though, the Etecs are the one to beat now

Yes, those ETEC G2s are real eye openers. But the Evinrude site doesn't actually reveal much in the way of details as to what's new. Sure they say it's a total redesign, and starting with a "clean slate" enabled them to do amazing things, but WHAT exactly. And then it's the same old "20% more torque, 30% better fuel efficiency that Yamaha or Mercury, blah blah..." , and then the tug of war and drag race to "prove" it. Disappointing. Maybe they have done something radical with the G2, but I can't tell. Sure looks cool though.

I hear those new Etecs are made so the mechanic which you'll need will have more room to work.

BUTT ugly is the word for the Evies-- but that might have something to do with the fact that I cant afford a new engine! Sculpin-- anyone pushing the Merc 150 4 strokes?
I'll be back at the show early this Sat. AM and will be stalking the fishing tackle booths for the great buys that inevitably appear on the last day of the show. If any SFBC guys will be there and want to catch a beer and lunch at the brewery across the street, send me a PM. Also, if anyone wants any pictures of a particular boat that Sculpin didn't photograph, let me know.
