We are going to use the 22 mold we have designed and built with the patented DDC hull. However the deck will be a smaller version of the big boats. You get three power options: outboards, outboards or out boards.....

Outboards... plural? As in a pair of 300 XS's?

Actually the 31 CC was, in fact, dammed right at the transom to create the original 28. This was in 1999. The 31 included the 'engine bracket/ swim platform' in it's LOA.

In 2004 we decided to pull a part from the AT 32 V-bottom mold so from then on it was a different bottom. You could say we dammed it. The interesting part was that the lifting strakes actually worked a little better than the original '28/31' mold since we didn't touch the lifting strakes.

The 29 will be a new mold with the DDC patented hull.

If you tried to dam the 28 ,old you would have incredibly unproportional hull sides.

So the 31 CC was blocked down to create the original 28, and the 32 was blocked down to create the revised 28. But I am wrong in assuming that you could make a 22 by blocking down the 28?

Any idea where the first 28 is at now? I am guessing by my hull ID that I may have the 2nd 28 that you guys produced. ATD28V02

I assume that it is the Banshee then. If and as you said a new deck, will it have a bit more freeboard? Can't wait to see this.
