The 37 will be a limited production boat. We have limited production molds for the hull and cap deck but the interior arrangement can be somewhat customized. Hull #2 will have a longer console with a bunny pad, raised aft facing mezzanine seating, increased fuel capacity, 3 live wells, a gyro and interior with a berth below the bunny pad. There may be 10 or 12 built before we need new molds and start changing the design slightly again. We want to continually evolve and improve the design.

The 25 is a one and only and there are no plans to go into production with that hull.
She's a special little boat... We've talked about a model in the 27 to 30' range along with something mid 40's and even a cat version. This whole idea started with a mid 60' convertible sportfish in mind and we have a 75 design that could start construction at any time so the big boats have always been the main focus.

Due to the construction methods and level of finish and performance these boats will not be affordable to most. Kind of like a Ferrari business model... As for the design concept itself we will license it to other approved boat builders for a royalty like Michael Peters does with his ventilated tunnel step designs for the military, Invincible, Barker, Mag bay and so on.

Cats and Foils next?

What props were you using when you got the 86.6?
I know I'm asking a lot, but if they're custom, could you give blade #, pitch, diameter, cup, and rake progression information?

Fr. Frank,

We have been running Mercury racing 30" MAX5's from day one which are way to much. We'll be trying everything we can from 26 to 28" once we can get some on loan. Standard Bravo 1 and Bravo FS along with a smaller MAX5 is the direction we are going.

Best,
Steve

I thought of the same idea about 2 years ago when i took a ride in a Roth-Bilt, ana a Nantucket Skiff. Its nearly a flat bottom. Not much of a V but it has cross steps in the hull bottom. And i thought this boat was going to give a rough ride, wrong, it rides amazing. I came to the conclusion its because of the cross steps in the hull. Then i thought wow, if you took a Seacraft design and a Roth design and combined them, which is exactly what we have here. It should be an amazing hull bottom. More air? Yes more air is less Friction, better, faster, more efficient ride. Well done! 👍👍

Is that prototype going to be made for general consumption? We need a new contender in the 25' single engine range. I want one.

Top is on today but still much more to do, new props are next. Thinking standard 28" Bravo 1's hopefully will bring her up to 6400 rpms when the superchargers can take over and push us to 7000+...
