I am picking the boat up tomorrow.i have always had a Havasu style boat,we were at the Islander for 23 years.We sold our trailer and our 28' Eliminator daytona.We built a home in Southwest Florida and are trying something different.The boat is in Fort Lauderdale I am driving the boat with a buddy though the Keys and to my house on the gulf coast.It is about 200 miles by water,I will post up pics of the trip when I get back.

That boat is badass, Congrats [emoji106]

I'm itching so bad to have a saltwater boat. If I had OCMerrill money I'd be all over it [emoji2]

Damn nice ride Kenny :thumbsup

Really like the CC / Cuddy cab combo. Plus with the enclosure you can button things up if it gets blown out and wet.

One thing I can't tell from the pics, how's the access to the bow accomplished, for anchoring etc. ?

That and your new home, WOW :thumbsup :bowdown:

Congrats, your going to love that boat. Back in 08 when I started looking at CCs and bought my first, the Intrepid's nick name was the Skater of the CCs. Great riding CC built very well. I think the wait time right now for a new Intrepid is almost a year. I think Intrepid and Yellow fin are the #1 and 2 large yacht tenders out there. That should tell ya something.

Fun ride home enjoy.:thumbsup:thumbsup

Wow - now thats a a nice boat. That would be great in Havasu with A/C in the cabin!

Where do you put the dingy ?

Does the davit just lift it into the cockpit?

An old friend has an Intrepid in Miami and having spent time on those boats, they are well built top of the line boats. Congrats !!

Partnership available. No Joke.

FourofaKind has been 3 1/8th of a kind for a while and I am getting tired of footing the dollars.

You have no idea how tempting that offer is but working on paying off wifey's student loans. I could own a marina for what two Masters degrees cost lol.

A few more years and I'm golden. Instead of counting years to payoff I'm counting days, like 900 days +/- [emoji2].

You must be at least a little tempted to make a quickie overnighter cruise to Bimini before you head around to the west side :D

I was at the Fort Lauderdale boat show last Nov. the Intrepid salesmen said to get one May of 2017 for a 40' cuddly like this one.I brought this thru Intrepid I have been trying to buy one for 6 to 8 months I think there are only 5 for sale in the world right now and they want top dollar for them.

I just put our lift in,i waited till I knew what I wanted.The lift is 28000 lbs 6 pile lift, the boat 20000 lbs dry weight 400 gallons of fuel, fresh water and all the other crap.I probably will be at 26000 lbs...I am looking forward to learning the area i have never made this trip. i think the trip will be about about 6 hrs.I would like to get together.You can show me the way to the Bahamas.

That's a really nice boat and I think Intrepid boats use the Michael Peters design hull like Hallett boats uses on their 290 and 400. Congrats:thumbsup

Hard to believe.. it did have a stripper pole.The boat was owned by a german guy that does computer programing he kept the boat in Nassau.The name of the boat was ROCKIN T AND A.My wife did not want the stripper pole so we did have it removed.
