Does anyone have any information on the Palm-Beach 205 Center Console, or Palm Beach boats in general? My main concern is hull quality as I just had a bad experience with the Mako 201 CC.

I am considering purchasing the Palm-Beach from from Oakdale Marine on Long Island. Any thoughts on the Yamaha 4 stroke verses HPDI series (150 hsp) would also be appreciated?

PS- Tuna - hope to see you out at Gone Fishing soon.

I have a 18 Key Largo which is made in the same factory. The hull is solid and rides better than a Seacraft or Regulator! By far the best boat for the money.

I just looked at the Palm Beach line at my local dealer. The catalog shows nice finished boats on all their line. The way the boats show up at the dealer are like work boats and the "liner" is 3 - 4 K more to make it a "finished" boat. Prices are competitive until you factor the liner in.
