Wow that is an amazing amount of ribbing. Looks like it is made to major punishment. What might be the estimated weight and length.

The boat should be ready in time for halibut but I'm not sure about the the guy behind the wheel. Haven't been offshore in a while and will take some time to get to know what we are capable of safely. Dry weight is roughly 5400 lbs. and length is 25 feet. Thanks for the comments and questions. Excitement is building!

Treegolfer,
Looking good man! [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]
I wish I could build my own boat.
I fall under that category of "the cobbler who's children have no shoes." I build boats for a living. How's that for irony?
Oh well someday maybe.
Nice job.
Ragnar

I saw a 32' Almar Sounder on the channel in my Marina a few weeks back. He came in to tow a derelict (SP) old cruiser off to the repair yard.

That thing was the biggest dang Alum "sled" I ever saw. Looked like enough deck space (twin Outboards- no hump) to line up 3 full totes and still get around. Talk about a Tuna hauler!

Too much deadrise at the stern to be an ed wing. They are pretty flat at the rear, that's why they get better fuel economy (require less power). But that sounder will ride NICE. Awesome boat.
