So are you gonna go with the HCB Estrella?? That IS the burning question here. Pun intended  Starting at a cool 4.8 million, that is a touch out of my price range.  Guess you'll have to settle for a Freeman!! Freeman is what one guy suggested as our next boat. Supposed to be the cats meow of offshore boats. I fished on them a bunch out of Venice, awesome boats for sure. I've fished on about every kind of offshore boat out there and I would choose a Freeman if I could afford it!

That’s rough. Glad it didn’t happen offshore while y’all were fishing! That's an understatement.

Just curious, when I used to have a boat years ago we always turned the batteries off at the rear of boat when we left the boat. Do they not still do that on these newer boats? Probably have to have power for the bilge pump, if the boat is left in the water like that.

Hate to see this. Boats can be replaced. It could have been big trouble if you had ben out fishing.

FWIW I would stick with a v haul and not a cat in the Gulf where swells come from every direction. I like cats in the Atlantic where you get a predominant swell from the east.
