JUPITER PULSARE
Well-known member
Well, after my trip to the keys in July, I've decided to buy a small Center Console. The ability to dive, snorkel, fish, run through shallow water, carry paddleboards and move about inside the boat really helped influence my decision. With my Pulsare 2400, I take extra precautions to keep the carpet dry, keep everything perfectly clean, avoid any gear that could damage the vinyl, cover the boat when not in use, etc. I think having a boat that I don't have to worry about so much will make salt water boating more enjoyable and versatile. I still have my Pulsare (for the time being) for when I want to go fast but I've just purchased a 2017 Barracuda 188 with a 2017 Suzuki DF 140A with only 80 hours on a tandam axle aluminum trailer with brakes (a bit of overkill on the trailer). It's the biggest, most roomy 18'8" Center Console I've ever seen! The boat is like brand new and loaded with options! Live well, underwater lighting, powder coated foldable T-Top, Simrad, JBL Stereo system with amp & 6 speakers, removable rear seat backrests, bow seating, lighted cup holders, front center console cooler seat, rod storage, rocket launches, hydraulic steering and more! Since I can't travel to my home in Costa Rica (for the time being due to Covid 19), I think I'm going to be doing a lot more boating!
