Congratulation on your Arima Boat, Alex

I have been following your post "I want your Sea Chaser (17 or 19 - in California)" at ArimaOwners.com
Love to check out your boat once it is all set up.
My wife and I are considering a boat once we are retired in a couple of years.
Our current choices are either Arima or C-Dory.

Thank, man. I think you'll appreciate the copious amount of deck space you get with an Arima versus a C-Dory. Both are excellent boats, but in my opinion (and based on my own research) the Arima is a superior fishing machine. Mr. Arima was really on to something with this lightweight and seaworthy hull design...

Yes! I've got a little work to do before I take this thing out - first and foremost it needs a VHF and a second battery for safety.

Sweet boat. Looks comfy and comfort is everything when you're out there.
I just hope that by the time I turn to the dark side we still have salmon left to fish for  :smt009
May the fish be mighty and the seas be meek...

Nice roomy boat.  I had a 19’ sea ranger.  Slept 4 a few times out at the Channel Islands.  One of the hardest boat to fabricate a boarding ladder.

I get seasick on powerboats...

I thought I was the only one. It never happens on a kayak, but even on a big boat, I start feeling a little woozy pretty quickly...
Are you pondering what I’m pondering?
