  For those that haven't ever seen a completed model this is hull number 1. Mine will be #3. Photo from Sportfishing Magazine.

  Just from looking at the photo it's obvious that those guys aren't serous fisherman. There's not a single fishing rod in sight.:grin
  
  Congrats on the boat!

  Very interested in your build.
  Didn't know Hells Bay was getting into the bay boat market.
  Ramlin making the trailer ?
  Which Simrad are you putting up ?
  
  Good luck

  Wonder if you could post a few pictures of the inside and the compartments etc. Every photo I've ever seen is the boat running or part of the build.

  The boat trailer is made by Ramlin. I am putting the 12 inch Simrad in the right side of the console. BTW I am keeping my 18 Marquesas. Here are a few more pictures.

  I do not think I mentioned that this boat is the third hull and first possible one to a customer. Hull 2 went to their guide Captain Ca Richardson who may or may not be comped. I have no clue. This is not a go fast hull design. It was designed to be a fishing boat that is quiet and dry. When I took a demo ride I knew this boat would be great for throwing flies at fish cruising up and down the beach and sand bar trips with the kids when they come home on weekends from college.I can lock up allot of rods including fly rods in the rod boxes. I can carry five gallon buckets to the dock from my house and put them in just about every compartment.

  What is inside the little bus bench looking box on the bow? Is that what a secret compartment looks like these days. All the drug runners had them on their boats but nobody ever saw one cause it was a secret.

  That's the automatic liquor dispenser tank for his addition to Papas Pilar Rum! :grin
  The little **** spout pops out on the front deck for a free pour!
  Nothing but the best!

  Franks always thinking. I'm glad he liked it. I don't think there was to much left in the bottle when I left.

  Speed is overrated. I'd rather be quiet and dry than loud, fast and wet when I get there. What's the draft on that beauty?
