2019 HCB Estrella 65ft Center Console.

[beaverretriever]

I know this boat has been around for a bit already.

I have always loved the Hydra Sports stuff. I like Midnight Express, Nor-tech, Yellowfin, Intrepid and some of the other high end CC boats too. HCB are purpose built but still yacht like to me with bling in just the right places.

65foot Estrella is just insane. You either really LOVE fishing or just want the biggest available to show your buddies (and hot girls in little bikinis )

Wow, some of the photos here really show it's shear size. Amazing. Almost 3200hp on this bad boy. It takes me anywhere from 40min to three hours for a new delivery. They state in the article that they spend three to seven days for a delivery. Interesting article about the process to ownership.

I love the HCBs. They’re on another level and can go on the lift outside your baller pad in key west.

Only thing I can’t decide on is would I buy this or a Viking/Hatteras. CC better for day trips but the sport fisher takes the cake on over nighting.

I could murder Tuna on either

They have represented HARD in Key West past couple years. Looking real nice.

The gold one was a 65' I'm pretty sure.

It is nothing short of amazing the market share CCs have taken in recent years.

Unless you are a hardcore angler there are a load of other options for the money. That being said I sure do want one. A Scout or Pursuit are tops on my list.

I’m not opting for outboards if my primary goal is hunting big fish. Outboards pretty much eliminate a large portion of kill zone, the transom.

My guess is these are more of an entertainers boat with the ability to fish.

If my primary goal is hunting fish, and secondarily entertaining, it’s a Viking all day long.

I had the pleasure of a walk around on a 65, best CC I've ben on. The finish and lay out was a 10. Incredible boat.

Beautiful boats. I believe @rivrrts429 called it though. Super nice, but more for chasin' tail than catching blue fin.

148gph @40knots it's the Prius of CC's
