johnd Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 West to scollop on Sunday..launched at ramp, immediately see nice Maverick and guys call out "nice boat" to me. "You too" I say, we laugh. Turn corner and another Redfisher. Tied up next to 2015 Pathy (beautiful boat). Must have seen 6 MBC boats on Crystal River in last few days.

DonV Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Very true lots of MBG boats in that area, however I think half of all the pontoon boats, including Tri-toons, in America are in Crystal River or the Halls River in Homosassa Springs. Unbelievable how many are up there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 I was there on Sunday also, maybe we saw each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 You all need to count your blessings down there. We don't see many MBC boats up here. We see a lot of ugly Carolina Skiff (sorry to any CS owners!) and other flat bottomed monstrosities. True flats skiffs are such eye candy! We'll see a few pathy's, the occasional Hewes, and once in a VERY blue moon we see a newer maverick. But the only other guy that had an MA around here had the nerve to let a stupid tree fall on it. I swear, you just can't find reliable people anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the Boca Grande/Placida area. I'm convinced there was a free giveaway sweepstakes for 22 Pathfinders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linesider 159 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Last time I was in CR I said the same thing about shearwaters. Don't know why, but they seemed to be everywhere. I've never seen so many. Lots of mbc boats as always. If I'm not mistaken they are putting out over 1200 boats a year! I agree with lap it up, if you don't have either a tunnel hull or a 22 pathfinder in boca grade area you are an outsider. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
