In Response To: Re: 31 Express (Capt. Mike Holmes)

To the faithful, after 150 people looking at my post about my 31 Express being for sale and no responses, what's the problem. I know it's not a fly bridge model most are looking for. After owning this boat for 28 years and running both FBC and Bahia Mars, I find the express alot dryer running, easier to single hand and your not away from the cockpit action. Sightlines for fishing is only a few feet,compared to the FBC,if you really want the height add a half tower for short money. I've caught more sails and gaint blue fin from this boat than most people have every seen, I not bragging but this boat raises fish.
I know it's a gas boat,but a conversion to 4 clyinder Yanmars 240 hp is around 40K. The exhaust system is 6" already.
It's a 31 Bertram hull no matter what style,try finding a boat in this price range that needs very little work. Price is now $55,000. firm.
