That is a hell of a boat. Nice work.


Thanks. It's a really great ride and I am not yet fully accustomed to it, coming from a 17ft. fishing aluminum boat.

Last week on Lake Champlain with a 2-3 ft. wind driven chop with the occasionnal whitecaps, I've been able to run at WOT (2 guys, loaded with fishing stuff) @ 37mph and didn't get spayed once, with a smooth ride. With my previous boat, I would have needed to slow down at 15 mph and, even then, it would have slammed into each wave.
