That model with the factory tower is a Tournament Master 29
without the tower and other options it was called the express fisherman.

I too love the lines of that boat. I often looked at them for my next boat but have never rode on one. Great cockpit and layout in that design. I think most say they ride a bit rough due to the mod v hull but make up for that with fuel econ and drift. Just have to slow down in the rough stuff.

Whats your take on the boat? I am interested in one in the future.

Well to be honest with you i think it rides great.I got stuck in 2 storms last year and one i was on my way back from the elephant trunk about 17 miles from the shore in about mid sept,got me home in 1 piece and the boat.Like I said the engines have about 150 hours a piece on them,and the gas tanks are new,im redoing bottom by way of soda blast and fininishing it 4 layers of mmm2000e interlux and then some good bottom paint im adding 65 more gallons of gas to bring up to 300 ,got new props last year from atlantis 4 blade nibrels,new salt water washdown,new bathroom as far as a tank and macerator,put 2 new water pumps in,it has holly carbs and the engines are pcm.Ill take you out this year if you want because im gonna move up next year or the year after to around a 36,need bigger always need bigger.Let me know Jy.

Hey Diamond, SWEET RIDE. I luv them boats. She is an awsome rig. What do you usually fish for? I would luv to get a ride with you and beat up some fish. I live for the offshore stuff but still like inshore to. Where are you out off maybe we can meet up and get to know each other. I could even give you a hand getting her ready. Its almost time!!!

I would love to take you up on that offer. Do you have performance numbers and fuel usage? What motors does it have?
Well i drove the boat from cape may to philly so when i gas up ill let you know,it was a 108 mile trip and i was cruising about 17 kt at 3700 rpm.The performance numbers will be different because im having it soda blasted and the bottom redone so i will give you before and after.Im going to say i probably used 130 to 140 gallons because it was really bad out and i didnt start cruising till i got inside where i could see land on both sides.I got them 4 blades on there and when i get blasted i should cruise at 20 at i hope 3400 to 3500.They are pcm engines (pleasure craft marine)i think that stands for but not sure.The engines call for 5000 wide open.Got all manuals for everything!its a 82 and well taken care of im the 3rd owner!

Hey Diamond, I am serious about the offer to help get her ready for spring. I dont have a boat at this time and am glad to get my hands dirty. If you want to get together i am into it for sure. I would love to get a chance to get out there this year and i always pull my weight. I am not afraid of work and have been from the bilge to the bottom paint. Let me know.
