Hull #53 – 44’ Express
This bare hull is currently available for purchase. The previous owner traded up to hull #55 to build the 64’ Sportfisherman. Experience the performance of a total sportfishing machine with this 44’ dream. All of the essentials without all of the headaches: economical operation, durable finish, smooth & quiet ride and classic Carolina style & performance.
Hull #54 – 67’ Waste Knot
Tower work on this magnificent beast is essentially complete. Curtains are being constructed, and the bridge seat cushions are built and ready to install. The final rigging is taking place now. The salon parts are all out of the varnish shop and ready for installation. As soon as they are installed, the granite that has already been cut will be mounted. Once the granite is in, we will splash the boat and put fuel & water on to mark the waterline. After putting her back on the hill, we’ll paint the bottom and boot stripe. Next up will be trimming out the headliner and carpet. After that, it will be performance testing and she’ll be ready to deliver mid-December. The owners have put generations of fishing know-how into her design and functionality. Without a doubt, you can expect to see her blazing the tournament trail on the East Coast and beyond next year.
Hull #55 – 64’ Sportfisherman
Construction on Stephen Davis’ 64’ is underway and progressing well. The pump room, equipment layout and engine room components are designed and under construction. Painting of the bilge areas and engine & pump rooms will begin soon. Running gear, such as struts, rudder ports, shaft tubes and bearings are ready for installation. Both the cabin and bridge are roughed in and ready for fiberglass. The interior living spaces have been designed and are ready for construction.
Hull #56 – 77’ Sporfisherman
Our largest build to date, the 77’ hull for Michael Mitrow has just recently come off the jig and been flipped upright. For this project, more work was carried out in the upside-down position, including production of receivers and patterns for struts, recesses for trim tabs & bonding plates, and installation of shaft tubes. This method proved to be overall more efficient during construction. In addition, the spray rails were installed and glassed, and some of the structural components for the inner hull were installed as part of the jig building process. The high-temp rated epoxy was post cured, and is now ready for the final fairing process. For the near future, our concentration will be on the construction of the engine room, pump room, and bilge areas throughout the entire boat.
Hull #57 – 66’ Sportfisherman
This hull is under contract to begin construction January of 2009. This boat is the perfect combination of the things that make fishing fun: plenty of cockpit area, roomy bridge layout, great visibility, easy maintenance, efficient performance and large enough to take whatever the ocean offers without sacrificing any maneuverability. Stay tuned for lots of buzz about this boat.
