Yes, it is a semi v, about 4-5 feet back and then flattens out. It worked great yesterday in the rough/choppy water. I was impressed with it. Trying to find some mud to play in to really test it out.

Sportsman Fabrication is located in Morgan City, La and the owner/builder/designer is named Casey and you can reach him at (985)518-9804.

DMC
Are you the refering to the "step down" being the two cuts towards the stern on both sides?

Thanks

Mine is the only one of this model but I would be willing to take you and let you see how it performs.

fishaholic82
No mods, just a BPS CrossOver Exhaust and yes he can build the hunt deck or any add on's you may want.
Hopefully I will have mods soon. Waiting on the carb to come in now.

DMC
I'm almost positive it's 42" between the cuts. I will check with Casey today to make sure what the
measurement is.

Maybe you girls should stick to the topic and stop masterbating all over this thread :o :shock:


Anyway, nice looking hull, has nice lines and looks like it runs pretty good. Nice work.

Craig really if he gets it done by someone that knows what they are doing this time and not a crack head the paint job will come out nice. The last time T didn't know it until it was already done that the guy was a rock star!! lol
