The Murry Bros. fishing boat from the old files. This photo was taken quite a few years ago but it struck us how nice the red hull color was. Not a typical color for sportfishing boats but it works well, especially with the ivory deck.
Just planting a seed for those of you shopping for a new Ocean Master...
“I am real impressed with your companies of doing business, and your kind offer to contact Mr. Hauptner direct. This shows me that Mr. Hauptner, and his staff are top notch professionals. It gives me great pleasure to find another owner that doesn’t forget we are all in the service business, and that he would take the time to talk with me direct.
“FYI I took this 31 out yesterday on a sea trial, even though this boat is not new by any means I was very impressed with your companies detail to many things, that you state on your web page, the wiring, and rigging, was top notch the boat felt solid in 3 to 4 ft chop and for the age on the boat felt tight, in other words it is a well built boat.”
“The boat performs well for offshore fishing, whether it’s 25 miles out at Monster Ledge or 80 miles at the Hudson Canyon. It’s also used for fishing the shallow bays from the Manasquan Inlet to the Barnegat Light Inlet.”
“Awesome ride! It impressed a lot of fishing buddies on some pretty nasty trips. Even launching off big seas it still lands soft and solid. Plus I get plenty of looks and compliments from passersby about the boat.”
“I am sending you some pics of my 2002 with t-top tower. Very happy with this boat I bought used in January of 2007. You and I have spoken many times on the phone, your advice and help are greatly appreciated.”
“I just have to tell you that I am so excited about the boat. I already said that this is a lot of money for me and that I am not one of those guys that comes and drops the cash down without thinking anything of it. I have worked so hard over the years and this will be the first boat in my life that I have bought “NEW”! I have owned maybe 30 boats since I was a kid. After waiting 45 years to choose a new boat, Ocean Master has been my Dream boat for about 20 of those years. “
“Thanks for helping one of my dreams come true.”
“I have just purchased my second 31. It is a 1994 w/twin 250 Yamahas. I bought the boat from its original owner who kept it on Nantucket. I will use her at the Cape also. I have owned 25 boats in 30 years and “Nothing” compares.”
“Thanks for all the help refitting our 31’! The information and guidance you have offered in regard to the restoration of our 20 year old boat has been outstanding.”
“It shows your dedication to not only new projects, but to the continued satisfaction of all previous owners of Ocean Masters. In a time when the main focus of most manufactures is to push as many vessels out of the factory as quickly as possible, it is a pleasure to be in contact with someone who believes in the product her produces even more the happiness of his customers.”
“I have owned two 31’ Ocean Master vessels and though the current vessel is in need of some cosmetic repairs, the hull is as dependable today as the day it was pulled from the mold. I am sure this will be the last center console vessel I purchase and I am certain that my 11 year old son with enjoy using it with his children.”
“Not until after running my new 34’ Ocean Master “Reel Screamer Too” around to Bradenton did I realize just how happy I’m going to be with her.”
“The construction is definitely overbuilt resulting in the softest, most comfortable, dry ride I’ve ever felt on a vessel of her size. I know I’m going to have years of joy out with her fishing the loop in the Gulf of Mexico. Thank you for taking the time to construct such a marvelous vessel.”
“I just wanted to tell you how awesome the boat is!! Everything turned out so well. From the shell that I originally saw it was hard to imagine how great it would look!”
“Your hard work paid off. Thank you so much, we will have many family memories on there that we will cherish! We appreciated all that you did to make it happen.”
