I sure like this boat. Smooth and quiet with lots of room.

Sam's new boat is bad ass!!

Weird to see the inner two motors trimmed up like that, and not the outside motors?

Is there a ladder for when you beach it?

Looks like fun!

Two inside engines are mounted higher than outside engines.

Not sure how we get on and off besides a dock.

Ok. I just wasn't sure If I missed something or not about these boats.

If the top was longer for more shade and we all spent all day floating on the water, I think there would be a ton of these @ Havasu.

For the type of boating most of us do, this type of boat seems to have some challenges.

I believe Sam plans to use this in the Ocean. Probably just delivered to Havasu where he will have it dialed in and serviced before he heads home.

I see a tiny access door in the rear on the port side, but no footholds or anything on the outside. Do they never expect you to want to get off in the ocean without a dock?

Bitchin boat though, looks like a sweet ride!~

I understand that, but in the first photo's they are actually trimmed different.

I will post some other pics. The shipper just raised the two lowest motors on launch because he was not familiar with the ramp. He is a pro hauler and it was his trailer. His job ended at launch / floating the boat. I was not going to argue with him at this point. lol

Boat is pretty cool - will have it here to get all setup / cover and make sure everything’s in perfect working order. I also need to make sure I know a base proficiency on operating the vessel. Way easier in LHC :D than on the Pacific.

It has a ladder that attaches to a bracket on the stern. It is not plush by any means. I have seen the side doors - but at this point I have other items on the list before diving off the thing. I must say the bow thruster is like cliff notes in high school. Makes it way easier - not used to having that crutch. Had the boat up to 68 today - passed a deck boat and thought they were going to pass out. Will say it is not a havasu boat. Wake on this is very similiar to full ballast huck.

Nice addition to your fleet :) looks like hours with your boys out fishing coming soon for you.
So if transporter was done at floating and it was his trailer, who has a temp for Havasu. Usually don’t see things that large around Havasu.

I like the bow thruster. Moved a lot of water!

There are so many similarities in our boats! ... we should get together to compare, and go for rides! :D

Gotta park it someplace when you don’t have a trailer. I’m gonna go down and see if there are any cold beers in the fish tank.

Went to Springs for dinner. Radar working. Pretty cool seeing this in action on the way home. Pretty neat seeing contour / depth of the bottom heading home. Shop trailer retrofit a success. Boat is getting serviced and prepped at BCM.

Careful with that radar Sam! For some reason they don’t pick up sail boats.

I see radar and a Fathometer. Do you also have scanning sonar?

Scanning sonar is an amazing tool for offshore fishing. Consider it "under water radar". The displays are similar.
