Defiinately not a commercial bot but sharp looking and seems suited for fishing. Anyone familiar with this boat? What is the lineage? How does it ride and handle?
I "BELIEVE" the Judge 32 DE is actually a DE (as apposed to the other Judge models which are Chesapeake dead-rises). I think it is actually a JC 31, similar to the Eastern 31. I think the JC molds went to Eastern and Judge.
The Judge 32 & JC 31 are if fact the same. The 31 JC is actually 31'10 but they called it a 31. Go figure. The one big difference is that Judge cut back the keel, which most likely added speed do to less drag & better water flow. Amazing how long the JC mold has been around and still going strong by two different builders. The 1st 3 photos are the Judge followed by my 1984 Original JC.
I sent an email to Judge and was told it's the JC hull but the bottom has been "completly redesigned"...
