 Which Custom Builder I have been looking at getting a boat built lately and have narrowed it down to WC Customs, Deadfowl Custom boats, and Shallow Water Customs. Wondering if yall had some insight on which route to go. Thanks.

Re: Which Custom Builder I don't know much About the other builders but I can tell you about WCcustomboats. Pete is super easy to deal with and will build anything you want the way you want. Gives really good suggestions as well. Gave me a really good price on my rig ! If you have any questions just PM me

Re: Which Custom Builder I'm going with Rj at dead fowl whenever I order mine. He had the best quote for everything I wanted on my boat and his work looks really good!

Re: Which Custom Builder I don't own one but have seen a couple of WC boats and they look good, Talked to the owners and they loved them. Just my 2 cents worth.

Re: Which Custom Builder I think I am going to end up going with WC Customs. My original plan was to get a 1750 built. Anyone have any suggestions on maybe going a different route on the size?

Re: Which Custom Builder 2068
Lol
Seriously though, without more info on what you expect and want from your boat, the size question is a shot in the dark.

Re: Which Custom Builder I coming from a 1642 southfork with a 50 tohatsu on it. i want something that has some good speed by myself but also decent with it loaded with 3 people, but i also would like to be able to hunt out of it also with a boat blind if i needed to. I don't run any type of big water with it. No stumps or timber or anything like that. I don't know if that helps or not.

Re: Which Custom Builder Size wise? Sounds like you'd be good to go with an 1848 and the big block surface drive of your choice.

Re: Which Custom Builder I have a 1748 (it's 17 total including huntdeck), does fine with 3 (and I didn't even have a 35, was still getting 19 with 3. A 1652 or wider, 1748, 1844. Any of those or wider. .100 or .125 (most everyone here will suggest .125) Mine is .125". With a stock 35, they'll all work fine for what you're describing. If they aren't fast enough for you, that's where mods come in.
