Hi all,
New member of the board and Sailfish shopper with a 2.5 year plan to move to Florida.
I've been researching boats like mad ahead of a planned move to Cape Coral once my kids are off to college. I love what Sailfish has to offer in the 2360 CC and 2660 CC models and I appreciate everybody posting tips/tricks/problems/fixes because it gives me a good idea of what I'm getting into.
Once I move, I'll be looking to buy a used boat and I'm not afraid of regular maintenance, wiring, rigging, computers, electronics, etc... I was in the US Navy for 7+ years and worked on the F/A-18 Hornet before getting out and starting another career as an Information Security professional.
Thanks for the great posts and please, please change the Christmas skin as soon as possible. The red and green is terribad
WetYeti

Welcome aboard. Great riding hulls, one of the best in their class.
Where will you be moving from?

Welcome WetYeti. My Dad and uncle are both Navy Veteran's and brother was in the Coast Guard. Thank you for your service and you've picked the right boat. I'm on my second Sailfish....started with the 236cc and moved into the 2660cc. I remember those -2 and those -22 degree days..grew up in Vermont, moved to Florida in 1994 and have never regretted it. Especially when I'm fishing in January or February. Hopefully the forum is everything you hope it would be.

Welcome aboard. Great riding hulls, one of the best in their class. Where will you be moving from? I've been in Montana for almost 15 years but grew up in AZ. If it all works out we'll keep a small summer place up here and hang on to the little Bayliner lake boat.
The ride and features for the price are what really attracted me after a lot of research and poking around the docks when I travel. My wife is not a huge fan of being out on any boat but a good ride, comfortable seat and the high gunwales will make it more attractive for her.
I'm a tinkerer and honestly can't wait to have one and get out fishing.

As far as the wife goes, I found that a nice stereo that hooks up to her phone and playlists goes a long way....
