Very nice, anything that handled well yesterday is impressive. I was out there until about 10:30 slop is putting it lightly. ENJOY!!!
Ahh my 27 Judge handled yesterdays seas fine. Made 23mph comfortably with 5 on board into the chop.
Steve, She looks BEAUTIFUL. I am excited for you. I feel like I know your boat from watching it being built along side of mine. I too would love to see more photos of her now that she is finished up. Color scheme looks great - very patriotic (too bad we are about to enter an error of probably irreversable socialism). I saw a 36 Judge downtown yesterday behind the Annapolis Yacht club but she had a dark green hull. I initially thought it was you.
The socialism argument didn't cut it yesterday, and it's no more insightful or valid today. Continue to wear your heart on your sleeve for all Judges (they are absolutely beautiful boats), and drop the political silliness.
As promised, here are some additional shots. Thanks for the kind comments. She is a great boat, and frankly it is hard to work knowing she is out there tugging at her lines in the slip....

Cummins 425 hp QSB 5.9
Fish box to starboard.. Genset compartment port forward livewell port aft
Performance numbers are spot on to what have been posted here before.
I used the search function but couldn't exactly pin down perf numbers. What is the cruise and top speed and fuel burn? What were the other engine options. Seems like a yanmar 440 would also be a good fit.
Bill Judge was building his personal boat when my boat was being built. He is putting a 480hp cummins in his. However the 425 moves her along very nicely and economically! Here are commoks numbers on his
The big fish box has come in handy the past few weeks. Took a friend and his father fishing yesterday. When he wasn't in the cabin getting warm, he was catching these...all on "John Deere" chutes.
