New Doug Wright designed 28

Dan brought his 28 over to my place so we could install water pressure relief valves on his XSs. I found out with my 28 that as soon as you start running high teens, the XSs can't bleed off the excess water pressure, so we knew he'd need them on his 28. The seats are out of it right now, as he's having a few tweaks made to them to suit his personal preference. As soon as the seats get back, Dan will go out and put some time on the motors to get them out of break-in mode, then we'll go out and run it with a couple different sets of Dewalds. The boat looks as good in person as it does in the pics, and I'm certain it's going to run as good as it looks as well!

I have always preferred the Skaters but the Race/Pleasure cats DW is putting out in their last couple of builds make it a definite a boat to consider if you were to put cash on the table for a new boat today!
Congrat's to the new owner - Beautiful!

DW is also in the business of building the tooling. He has built tooling for major companies. His most significant work is from building the tooling for deep-V center consoles. Can't say who, but you can guess by the number of CC's built...34 foot CC built so far since inception is over 190 CC boats, 39 foot CC have over 140 CC boats. The company name has the initials N-T.
The manufacturer gives DW the general specs, DW then designs on the CAD including flow dynamics and stress testing. He then transforms that design onto an instructions set for his large CNC machines that builds the initial form of the tooling in foam...the first step in tooling build
The manufacturers can then either complete the tooling or DW can complete the tooling.
The RGR 28 cat was ordered by Rick G and went only as far as the hardened surface of the plug. RGR completed the rest of the plug and pulled a mold off of it. RGR/Climax Boats also made two decks to handle a single or twin outboard motors. All of the tooling are legally and rightfully owned by RGR/Climax/Fat Cat Boatworks
DW also builds aircraft fuselages and cockpits for the Dept. of Defense and private aircraft companies...I believe ==> https://www.facebook.com/Doug-Wright...9879978406934/
