My design and build was sold today. It went to a great home, I just have not used it in two years. I am sure I will be fishing on it one day with the friend I sold it to but that chapter in my life has closed. I have owned and built a few boats and still to this day it has not been the happiest day of my life to watch them move on down the road.
Not the happiest day of my life like everyone says

I always thought that thing was kinda cool in its own right. Never did get to see it in person.

Fuck "everyone". When ever "everyone" ask s me that question I cut them off and say ya " the day they buy it and the day they get their first BJ on it". You'll build another.
So obviosly special built. What was the purpose?

What hull did that start out as? Ultra?
If you need help just call. The all aluminum pacific did very well on the cat.
No it started out as a Rich craft...this bottom was not splashed off of any other bottom. This bottom was only poped from the mold twice one for a river entertainment boat and one for my offshore rig.
I have been over 120 miles offshore is this boat and it was a predictable ride.
The rig went back to my friend Rich to fish in Florida.

I think I have seen that boat. Orange?? Very different when I saw it on the dock at Fox's
In my book different is good..that boat handles great in all water conditions that is why I used the bottom for my fishing boat. It was and is a stable platform.

Masonite was fast ...just did not hold up very well. That area now is the 210 freeway? Wick did you ever go in the tube that went from the water district under Radcliff to the field?
