I probably does not matter, as log as you can sleep on it. And If I brought that home, I'll guarantee that's where I'd have to sleep.

I was on that dock just about the time you must have taken those pictures....I sea trialed the 33T the boat wash girls are on and also saw the 38'.

The boat I was on had twin 250's I think at the time you guys were on a 33T with trips?

Anyway, you may not remember, I rode back to the Convention Center with you guys in the Contender van, I was the guy from California....small world.

Anyway, the 38' was impressive, definitely out of my budget though.

Now that is very cool. YES, of course I do recall our conversations. As you may recall we mentioned that we had just demoed the Yellowfin 34. My buddy Hector wound up building a YF 34 and took delivery just a month ago. We fished the boat last weekend and I posted photos on this forum under Yellowfin 34, take a look.

I see you have a 33 Invincible on order; we also demoed the 36 Invincible the day after we met you. I understand the 33 is very sweet and I hope to take a ride on the 33 in February @ the Miami Show.

Best of luck with you new boat and if you need some tackle……..

Jeff
