If no one has anything better to do on February 14th. Tune into the Versus Network at 10:30am EST for as Larry Csonka North to Alaska tv special. The episode was takin at a fishing lodge we built a 35' WalkAround for last summer. It features Larry fishing off the ColdWater while filming off a 40' Ma...

No offense to any of the previous posts. I would have to say no to the diamond plate and I can show you the scars to prove it. The spray in liners add a little weight but are very durable and shy of ponding chemicals/fuel I dont believe a few drops quickly cleaned up will harm it. We have always bee...

Thanks Capt PJ. The windlass on this vessel is a Lewmar Profish.

I like your idea of video, I will make it my summer project to capture some of these boats in action.

Yes it is heading to Kake via the wonderful tax payers of Alaska.

Why yes it is. It hit the water for the first time the day before the show therefore not alot of photos. We did some testing on the way back as you will see below. The SRX will be offered from 31-37ft for a great multi function/patrol/police/rescue/etc platform. The original concept was to have a hy...

I just wanted to say thank you to all the AABers that stopped by to say hi. It was nice to hear all the great feedback. Show attendees was reportable up from the past few years which was nice to see although the the builders present was noticebly down. Anyone have a chance to look at the new Duckwor...

No problem. Whats there to hide?

Sure. Our 3100 Pilothouse fitted with either large single diesel or large twin outboard will run from $270k-$310k....

Hello Jim, we have lots of opinions on painting an aluminum boat. One might say it is a damned if you do or damned if you dont scenario. We all know that there is no need to paint an alloy boat but it does appeal from a cosmetic standpoint to a large majority of our customers now. If you are going t...

Cold Water Boats 3500 SRX.....

Sounds good. Just leave her the check book and have her give me a call.

Thanks apeman88, as long as AABers are interested (other than myself) the post will role on until launch in April.

Nothing based out of San Fran. A few will fish outside and drop down from Oregon.

Point well taken on the photo size. They will be larger....

Ready for insulation.

What size?

Mike I will stop by on Sat. to meet you at the Puyallup show. Chaps that sounds good! I like that beer. I can meet Sat. or Sun 30/31 Jan. or Sunday the 7th. Weekdays I work second shift. What days work for the rest of you all? Any day works for me but not to burst your bubble Goatram. The show clos...

Do you mean like this?

Is that a gas cooktop? Where is the gas tank stored? Yes. It is a propane oven/cooktop. I will post a photo when i regain access to the main computer. But if you look at the aluminum step/storage boxes on the rear-deck. The bottle is located on the starboard side next to the second steer station. P...

A work of art. Russ what are you using for the interior ceiling panels? I like it. Depends on the boat. In this case we used mahogany skins with a naugahyde cover, we have used mahogany skins with leather or vinyl. Or most of our charter boats with have frp paneling or a really nice perforated alum...

Thanks AlloyToy, I dont want to overwhelm our welcome just make up for some lost time. We currently have the same bottoms on all our models, depending on where you measure our entry is 60-70 degrees, 20 degrees at transom, 10" reverse chine and 6 lifting strakes. Seems to be a nice balance.

3100 Pilothouse, single diesel, cherry cabinets, 9.9 Yamaha kicker, dual station steer and electronics.

Is there an advantage to having the motor bracket less than full width on the bottom? Would it make sense to have a full width swimstep/motor bracket? It might. We did it one time and the performance was difficult to tell any measurable difference, keep in mind we use 12"x12" Lenco trim t...

Russ, are your boats self-bailing and do you inject flotation under the floor like Pacific? I do love my Pacific but as I get older I need to be closer to a head and more out of the elements as well. Yes, all our boats are self bailing including all our floor hatches. The walk around could be compl...

Cabin: 10'6" interior length x 6' wide, two suspension seats, sink counter with storage and l shape dinnette table/seating for 3 adults.

Not trying to high jack this great thread but it dawned on me as I was reading it that there are a number of us AABers who will be attending the Seattle Boat Show at the end of January and how great it would be if we could get together. Since I don't live in Seattle and don't know any of the Seattl...

Good idea. Received your message on the other thread. When you work out the details with the other members we will be there. In addition, this may be a good time to toss in a few goodies. I will provide 1 day entry tickets at will call for the first 20 AAB members to send me a PM. (Please attach you...
