Off Center Harbor's Remarks
This handsome boat looks like she’s going full throttle even when she’s standing still. That’s the secret of bass boats built for the sharp afternoon chop of Buzzards Bay by good builders like Brownell and Mckenzie. You’ve got to get out there through whatever the Bay has to offer before the fish start biting. It seems to us that this boat’s value lies in her extensive renovation. Brownell was a highly regarded builder and now she appears to have been put right all over again.

Engine was removed and Hylan & Brown fabricated and installed new custom pans below the engine and made minor structural improvements to the frames in the engine compartment.
