Complete build on Noreast.com.This would be a great tuna boat and could easily be a pleasure craft

This is a great riding boat.

Do you have a link to the build? How about some photos.

The build has a ton of construction photos.

I'll see if I can find the thread.

Scott,
What are you thinking of moving into? I can't believe you would let this boat go.

Not sure what I'll build next, but I can't even concider one until this is sold. It would have to be at least 40'. I would have liked to do a RP 40. The H&H 42is supposed to be real nice too.

SW Boatworks has a few molds. I guess I'd have to go take a look.

I was thinking about a one off too.

i would have snaged it up if it had a kawasaki kick start 5000 in it still a sweet boat though

Hey guys, Do I pretty much take the pleasure boat market out of this boat if I open up the stern?

 

[WoundUpMarine]

I love your boat! opening the stern wouldnt make me think twice, but the please boaters probably woundnt like it too much. How much are you asking for her?

Not if you make it a tailgate transom. It would be great as a swim platform for the kids or an easy way to get your inflatable in the boat. Plus you get two extra feet of boat you don't have to pay for at the dock.
Just a thought.

 

[captcod]

you just keep the piece you cut out of the stearn for any potential future owner that may want it.....

You raise game birds ?

The original posting date was last year when I had a pretty good chance in being in a new boat right now. I was willing to sell at 175 then because of the convenient timing. I probably can't sell it right now and walk off the boat tomorrow as in the original post. Something would have to be worked out since I do attempt to earn a living out of it. I'd have to either find something to fish out of temporarily until a new boat was built or hold off until Sept , or something else? I'll worry about that if a serious buyer ever shows up.

You need a better radar!

I don't need a radar at all.

It worked fine I guess when I had a screen to run it off of. I think my standard horizion is compatible with it but I'd need a wiring harness made up by somebody..or a whole new radar if I ever get some extra money to throw at it Ya think a new radar will sell the boat?

I painted the bottom yesterday and the other side the day before.

Speed dropped to much. I'll pay for the paint in 3 weeks of fuel savings,

I LOVE IT!!!......no need to haul and have some boat yard give you a line of shit about the enviroment.....thats why you cant paint your own bottom

I was joking about running into the beach with no radar..........

I must have missed something

Does anybody have a link or knowledge of transforming an open transom into a tailgate transom. I was looking at doing that or closing transom and adding swim platform for the kids. My big question was mechanics involved in raising and lowering. Hydraulics?
