Judge Yachts would like to thank the members of THT for the years of positive support of our products.
We offer a large line of semi-custom boats ranging from 19 to now, 42 feet. To view our different models you can log onto www.judgeyachts.com. There is also a "Specials" section on the site that shows stock items, trades or brokerage boats.
We at Judge Yachts take special pride in our performance, quality, and design of the boats. We just splashed our first 42 Sportfish. It was custom built for a fisherman who wanted more cockpit than the traditional Offshore Sportfish. It was completely built out of composite materials called Nidacore. Nidacore is a honeycomb composite that is very lightwieght, strong, impact resistant, and extremely quiet. The end result in the 42 was a sportfish that cruises easily 28 kts(top speed 31.4 kts) with a pair of 450 Cummins, and is as quiet in the cabin as riding in your car.
Another new model, not yet on the web, is the "Judge 35". It too has Nidacore construction. With a pair of 380 hp Cummins the boat cruises 32 kts and tops out at 35 kts., is dry, quiet, soft riding, and very stable.
As many of the THT posters know, our best sellers have been our 22' center console, 24' Chesapeake, and 27' Chesapeake. They too are complete composite construction. Fuel economy , ride, and good resale value have helped make these models our "Bread and Butter".
Our number one goal is to build the boats out of the best materials, make it ride soft, dry,and quiet, be a stable platform, and be fuel efficient.
I want to invite everyone to come to the factory to see the difference in our boats.

I am huge fan of your boats. The 27 Chesapeake was my boat of choice. Having 2 small children and one on the way, my budget was the only thing holding me back (I lobbied the wife hard for the one you had on display at the boats shows the other winter). The quality of your boats and what I know of your customer service from owners I have spoken with, are second to none. I have the pleasure of seeing your boats almost every time I am on the water as there are 3 of your boats on my small little creek, 2 of which are at my marina. The two that are at my marina are a 34 Express (which looks to be about the most impressive offshore machine I have ever seen) and a 32 downeast. Of course directly across the creek is a beautiful 27 Chesapeake which catches my eye every time I am out on the water. All three boats definitely stand out above just about every other boat on the water.
Glad to see you here. I hope to see some forum members with your boats in near future as testaments to the quality of your work. Maybe one day it will be me.
I'm also a fan of your boats and regularly detour through Denton via Legion Road on my way to the beach, just to see what you have 'in progress' in your yard.
I made it a point to find the 42 at the Bay Bridge Boat Show and I have to tell you that she is a very sweet ride. Congratulations on the new 42, and I'll be keeping an eye out for the 35 as well.
Here are a few shots that I got of the 42 Chesapeake at the BB boat show...
Sorry for the quality, but the way the docks are positioned for the show makes it tough to get quality photos.

The 42' is off the Jersey Mold. The 35 is a new boat. It is an Express model like the current 34.
We just splashed a 32 Chesapeake. It is very similar to the Jones 42 in the above picture.
The first 35 is in Annapolis. It is a flag blue hull. I think B-Faithful may have seen it. It just dawned on me that we put the wrong stickers on the sides of the 35.
We are also laying up a "new" 36' Chesapeake. It to will be like the Jones 42.
Wow! That 32 is a beautiful boat. Next time I am at my dock, I will take some pictures of some of the artwork you have done at my marina and you can see if you recognize the boats. When I was down on Sat both were out enjoying the day..
