Re: Wooldridge Pilothouse's under construction photos

32' x 119"? That's a big one for y'all isn't it? Commercial or is somebody wanting a 32' alloy yacht style cruising vessel? Not living near boating water doesn't allow me to conceptualize boat sizes like most everyone else here so I go outside and stepped off the footage along the length of my ...

Re: 7 Marine finding market traction

No one buys those boats.....they just look like they do. It's like a lease to own with a bank credit line used. Then, they all get flipped after running the snot outa them. Being "upside down" doesn't bother these guys. These Banker/ Fisherman, don't care about the $$ they loose. With the...

Re: 7 Marine finding market traction

These rocket ships are for these fishing teams with seemingly unlimited budgets. They fish the billfish, SKA, and other stakes tournaments during the seasons and for huge pots as one participant shared. With $100k or more at stake plus all of the side bets, along with lucrative sponsorships, they ca...

Looks like the work of American Aluminum Boats aka Gravois. A magnificent specimen regardless of who built it though, craftsmanship looks great from the limited views.

Anyone familiar with the Armstrong Arm?

Reading over on THT and saw this thread and as I'm not familiar with Starcraft Boats saw that it had a moveable Armstrong Arm: clicky

Sweet Vessel I like her layout. For 12 passenger I would have ordered the front edge of the hardtop to be loaded with rodholder's also. The rodholders are spot on, you need allot more than most recreational or part time angler realize. Two to three up and out of the way rods per fishermen is great ...

Re: Pelagic Boats 28' Build

Katoh, what are the prevailing prices in Oz? Here, diesel sells at a 10-15% premium to 87 octane unleaded and the argument over power as you size up in boat is that the typical rec owner will never see a penny of any potential savings due to the laxity of use as well as many do not keep their boats ...
