Hello Ruggit, cabin interiors have many options. Our main computer (where all the photos are)is down right now. But here is a few photos of one of the interiors set up for six pack charter. I will post a typical recreational customer interior when the computer is back. The build being built in this thread will have two suspension seats, L shape dinette and small sink counter with the head in its usual spot below. Nice to here from you, will you be at the Seattle Show?

WOW That is one BEAUTIFUL wiring job Do you or have you guys ever made anything smaller and trailerable or is your main focus the fleet on your web site

The website is a bit outdated, no good excuse. Just outdated.
Our primary focus is 31-37ft based off of our 10'6" and 11'6" beam where every design is highly refined. We currently offer three cabin design with two of them displayed on the web. This situation tends to be a win/win for both the customer and builder. On the other hand, we have designs and have built down to a 29x9'6" which if as far as we at ColdWater would be interested in going at this time.
Like they always say. Never say never, after all we are aluminum with a group of guys that enjoys pushing the envelope.

Again. Great boat. Looking forward to the cabin pics. I will have to skip the Seattle show this year. Getting first knee replacement on March 1st. Not able to handle the major walking and standing until after the rebuild.
In my weakened condition I probably would not be able to resist, and would leave Seattle with a new boat.
get a wheelchair and show up. Once a year around our neck of the woods to see all the boats and toys that we want and can't afford. Do the Puyallup Sportsman's show on the Friday as rehab (less crowd) then Saturday and Sunday at the boat show with the wheel chair of course till ya gotta climb in to a boat.
The Young Lady you have welding for you guys is pretty good. Steady at it welding up the bilge just before Christmas

Hi Folks, I met these guys when I was talking to Pacific about my boat. They are neighbors with them. Nice folks!!!!!!!!!
I really wanted a 33 or 37 but I would have had to get the other half to be a streetwalker to afford it. But really for the money and quality that they do, Coldwater is a great vessel. One of these days I will be back to talk to them about a 37'
God willing!
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 Seattle area AABers I was wondering if it would be possible for Coldwater, Chaps, Goatram, Seafood Man or one of the other AABers in the Seattle area to arrange an informal get together one evening so we could meet, talk Alloy Boats and toss down a few?
Anyone in the PNW up for this challenge? I will also post this idea in the Meet and Greet area.

Good Idea Shark Bait!
I'll start a new thread titled "Seattle Boat Show"

I like my Pacific that way as the Trim Tabs are under the swim step , it helps keep them from being LINE CUTTERS and no one steps on them trying to get back in the boat.
Seefood Man wrote: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 completely hosed down inside/out and drain overboard. We have five injected voids up forward to reduce noise/vibration and for potential impact. The rest of the vessel has a combination of insulation.

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 tabs. The concern lies in the trim tabs interfering with the kicker motor. Besides being a bit more difficult to install there is more protection like Welder mentions. Other than that more planing surface is typically a better.
Awesome documenting the build. Any Coldwater boats in the San Francisco Bay Area? Also, a little larger on the photos would be easier to see the details.
AT, our walkarounds are approx. 4 month builds. This one will be in the aluminum stage for 10 weeks, pre-assemble for 2 weeks, paint for 3 weeks, final outfitting for 3 weeks.
The cabin will have pilot/co-pilot suspension seating, forward head standup head compartment, L-shape dinette and small sink counter. It will seat a total of 6 adults.
Once again this is for a recreational customer that really enjoys fishing and entertaining his guests. Stay tuned for some of the "toys" going on this one!
Not sure how much "reverse chine" testing would be going on though

That is one BEAUTIFUL wiring job 
or is your main focus the fleet on your web site
