Ever see one of these...

Carman 46

What a layout!! I snapped this picture back in 2003 down in Ocean City, MD. Can you imagine running charters on this bad boy, the mate would be exhausted running around the boat....

Thousands of companies went out of business in 2008 !!!

I like the walk around !

Nice lines for sure, but 46 feet and you still have those knee knockers to deal with? I don't get that.

No bottom to her, the engines had to go somewhere...

 

[geets]

I'm just saying for down that way it's a pretty cool setup for what they do. It's not a northeast boat for sure....

There is a Website full of Chesapeake Deadrise boats for sale.

They are cool to look at. Never been on one.

Not the best in a following sea...

 

[geets]

They don't care about following seas too much down in the Chesapeake. They're too busy trolling 9 rods for rockfish...

I really want to see some ideas on larger walk around down east models, i really think there could be a market for something like that

It has been discussed.

Two things,

First the deadrise is really a chesapeake bay specific boat, it does really well in short steep chop that we get here. The 40'+ hulls span two to three waves and do quite well. They typically don't have to deal with a 6" following sea like you all do. Also the carmen molds went to a number of different builders. I believe Composite has the 32' mold.

Second, Flowers has built a walk around Downeast. I was on it in Jersey. Very utilitarian but not real pretty in my opinion.

I've been waiting for someone to come fresh out of bass pro shops and try pulling a Chesapeake spread through the fleet in CC Bay.
Should be fun to see the warm reception.

One engine box for each vixen. I like. Just give them a little sun and keep them outta the way...

 

[meathookfishing]

Too funny about the 9 rod deal. The boats that I have been a mate on we normally pull between 17 and 23 rods. I can pull 13 off my 27' boat with the right crew and conditions. It's just a challenge. Just wanna have fun catching the stripers. It's just how it's done here.
But, I wouldn't do it on opening day. Impossible.

Henriques 42

NICEY NICEY!!!

New sled... new pics added 11-5 - The Hull Truth - Boating and Fishing Forum

NIce offering, but whoever came up w/ that combination of windows should be shot. Radar arch looks like a big handle too. Ugh.

 

[ripta13]

the radar arch is actually the vents for the engine room. iv been on the 42 walkaround and the engine room is HUGE you can walk around 360 and stand up around each motor.
