This one is going to be a Center console with an anodized aluminum Ttop.
#1 is for sale. I am in the middle of talking with 2 other guys in Venice that want it, but I am trying to keep it as long as I can to show it.
Billy, thanks for the ride today, that cat is awesome. We were doing 30knots in true 4 and 5 footers, no pounding, went upsea, downsea and beam and this thing tracks straight and true. Needless to say I was impressed, this is the best riding small boat I have ever been on... Rob

Hey Rob
It was definitely sporty out there, but the boat handled it like a dream. See yall at Morgan Creek for the next ball game.
That thing is beautiful on the water....Bully what is the overal length with motors and the weight loaded and ready to fish?
Greg
With motors she is around 37'. Loaded with fuel(300gal) and livewell(65gal) she is around 8500lbs. I havent weighed her since it was a bare hull which was 4350lbs. Not bad considering the WC33 is around 13,500lbs loaded.
Right now she is running 56mph with 2 people and 100gallons. Loaded to fish with 4 men she is running around 50-52mph. If all I was concerned about was speed I could put more pitch in the props and get a few more mph, but that would take away from my midrange efficiency with a heavy load.
At 56mph she is as steady as a rock. No pitching no nothing. With the right props and motor height , I feel certain this boat is capable of 60mph with the 300 Zukes.
