I have been in my new WC Custom for a few months. I have had a chance to run it in some very different conditions and think I have enough experience with it to make a good review. Here we go.

Comments: I am pleased with the performance of the boat and motor. I have hunted from Central TX to Venice, LA to MS. The size and hull design was great in the MS river. Very safe feel & a Very Dry ride across the jump. Some days with a 2o-25 knot wind. Coming from a round chine Gtrax I was concerned about the handling and turning when running the timber. With 2-3 people it handles fine. It will slide a little without a load if you don't get out of the throttle a little. I was also apprehensive about a 20 ' boat. We hunted in the cypress with 5 of us in the boat and w/ the blind up, birds didn't flare or even seem to notice.
The HDR seems to be running good. I'm coming from a MB 55 mag and I am not dissatisfied with the power this motor is making. I am enjoying the added benefit of now being able to back up which the HDR does well. I'm having a prop worked now to try and get a little more bite.
I'm looking forward to taking all this hunting stuff out/off and see what we get now that the motor is breaking in.
The trailer is an aluminum tandem built by WC Custom also. It's built stronger than the alum. trailer my 22' CC Bay boat is riding on.
The experience with Pete Willett at WC Custom & Andy the Boat Doctor was excellent. There's some great people in this game... these were the ones I went with and I'm certainly happy with the outcome so far. I am a tough customer that has a lot of questions and ideas. Both these guys listened to my thoughts and offered their opinions. Is it clear I like my new rig?

Good speeds for that size boat and load!

Brick, these speeds were on a Garmin GPS and not a phone app. Just wanted to clarify.

Video or it didn't happen.


Most liberals seem to suffer from the same mental condition....it's called stupidity!

Awesome! Any pics?

Nice numbers ! Can't complain about that. . Congrats on the rig.

Congrats big dawg

Schmidt >What's the difference? Just curious? That's flying for that motor and big ass boat

Some of these phone apps are not real accurate. I have seen some jump 2-4 mph. It does run well and is carrying a load.

Water pic.

Pete told me what you were getting. Awesome numbers for that big boat. Watching it come together, I know first hand how big your boat is. My boat is big but looks insignificant next to yours.

No Chris, running a big blade with a little Venice Polish. Got a Baggy coming. Thinking about trying a hammer though. What you running?

I'm gonna try one I guess. Want to get off the coils a little.

Great speeds and an awesome willet custom. The fleet of 20' willet customs is growing across the country no doubt about that.
