Thats a nice looking rig! Is that a semi-v hull?

Nice looken Rig. Would like to know how it does in the mud keep us posted.

DMC
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.

Dammit Boy! Das Perdy!

Is it 48" wide with the step in the bottom?

SSWWWEEEEEETTTTTT!

What`s the info on who makes that rig? Web site? Phone#? Local?

Quackpipe
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.

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

What's the chance of setting up a demo with him to ride in that particular design boat? I'm really interseted in that hull, looks like it handles well.

Thanks

do you have any mods done to your engine and do you know if he'll build one with a hunt deck transom?

10-4 tac, thanks! That is one fine rig.

Got the PM Bundy,thanks.

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

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.

How tall are the sides on that hull

i think you and Tyler are going to enjoy dis boat. Can't wait to see what she's gonna do in de mud!

fishaholic82
I was wrong about the width it is 44" between the cut's. The sides are 21".

does it turn good?

CREWS
Yes it does turn good! HUGE A$$ difference from my flat bottom to this!

Looks like a copy cat!! In the MC area!!!

Looks like a copy cat!! In the MC area!!!

AWWWWW HELLLLLLL !!!!!!!!!

AWWWWW HELLLLLLL !!!!!!!!!

Well, they are both aluminum. I think they both pretty looking, but copy cat, naah, no way! The designs of your boats are Top Secret I know this is true cuz Giga told me so.

Great looking rig man. I gotta ask, whats that hull cost if you care to disclose that info. I like that design.

i was in ur presence.... put another prop on it u might go faster... kabooooooooooommmmmmmmmmm...

ha ha ha i would of but u was to busy getting towed in by my pad nah!!!!!

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


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

PW

man that is a nice boat i gotta wipe the drool of of my key board

Nice. Your not gonna sand blast this one by any chance are you?

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

Figures.

and they have to use glass blast not lake poluted sand that looks like limestone!!!! Walnut shell is even better.

muddoctor
Thanks

Craig
Hell to the NO!!!

LA OUTLAW
I wish I could go ride but I'm adding my exteded deck and then getting it painted. After that you got a
bunch of installs to do Hopefully after that I will have my carb in and then let coondik work the magic
that he does so well.
