Dusky sold it will reside in it's new home in Loreto.
Short time in the summer in Ojos, no need for the Dusky, beach fishing and use my 12 ft Duroboat.............
for sale, not for sale, for sale, not for sale....it happens when you love a boat...not the first time for me though...lotsa years, lotsa boats.

This only applies up to about a 40 footer. After that BOAT must be spelled with 2- T's - Break Out Another Ten Thousand

I have a 16.5' Klamath center console w/50hp 4 stroke that I bought from Pescador about 5 years ago. Of course I have modified it to suit my needs and
I love this boat.
I have had no trouble launching it anywhere and to date have not had to use the "baja wheel" on my trailer.
I've fished to from La Ventana to San Lucas Cove, San Marcos to Tortuga (40 miles out) and gone 30-35 miles out chasing tuna launching in San Carlos.
My view is for Baja get the biggest boat that you can launch by yourself over sand, rock etc, and you will do fine. I started with a 12' porta-bote
w/10hp, then a 15' Gregor w/25hp and now the Klamath. What I like about Pescadors Quintrex is it a tin boat so easier to launch in baja. Plus I like
Jim and believe him when he says it rides great in the SOC
At some point I would like a bigger boat, don't we all, probably a 19-21 foot. Maybe I'll buy Pescadors Quintrex when he goes bigger...lol

You guys got it all wrong; the perfect boat is one that will get me to the fish in safety (and back home) and allow me a large enough platform to fish
from when the action gets heated!
That's it- nothing else. 
Just do it!

Don't forget 'easy-out, easy-in'
These hot days require a little dunking now and then.
Perfection in a boat is a nice fantasy, but give me a good bait tank anyday...also dog, senorita, lunch, beer, XM radio, sonar, shade, barber chair,
...................................well, you see where it will lead...
Those fish in the fishwell are thee best tasting you will ever find.....period.

So what are they? Walleyes?
Last summer I saw a brown leech next to my float tube that, I swear, was 9 inches long.

Yes, Igor...they are walleyes, and of a nice normal size for the dinner table..and..they make for some truly great shore lunches.
As opposed to this monster....which is WAY too big. 
..actually probably smaller than your leech!

The Perfect Boat....well, maybe..
The boat below is a close 'perfect boat' for me when seriously fishing. I like tiller boats for keeping on structure, controlled movement, and open
c-ckpit..no center console.
But...this is mostly an Up North large lake or river boat, rather than open sea. Having said that, I have used this dry-riding, unsinkable boat to
fish the Cortez in all kinds of weather and high seas...from pintos at 300 feet to speed-trolling marlin and dorado feathers at 15 knots and 35 miles
out. I have brought fish into it from Alaska -across all of Canada - and thru the States to Baja.
It's a good all-round fishing platform, but thank Neptune there are lots of choices out there.
Oh...and a nice barber's chair to make your day comfy.
Just my preference in a 'fishing boat'....now, if we're talking c-cktails or 'sleeping', that's a different story.
opps..forgot the photo..here ya go.

This one is anchored off Loreto now. It belongs to Montanan Dennis Washington. He has two; the other one is much bigger, over 300'. But I think this
nice little one will do nicely, with it's fleet of big inflatables.
Some people from the boat ordered a bunch of tacos from Caesar's today, but we were disappointed that the helo did not swoop down to pick them up.

Isn't that hard to troll or fish live bait?

No problem. It comes with a small fleet of 24' inflatable center consoles.
And someone can play the piano in the fish-cleaning room:

Yep, and I can see the fish blood on the carpets. Guess the maid did a lousy cleaning job on the fish.
