phil said they had something in the works to replacethe 33 cafe open... he also said is was gonna be WAYmore coin... i mean they toke a 100k ocean hawk put a cig emblem on it and charged 50k more... this one will be done in house... mygues is use the vice or gladiator mold w/ a bracket and out boards but could be a new hull

ask lucky if hes seen it at the factory

Re: Top Fish
 

Thanks. I was told the Vice would be it the platform this Summer. I just can't see a 30 foot CC in the lineup. A 38 would more appropriate.

Re: Top Fish
 

No one's seen anything? Seems kinda late if it was going to be shown at Miami. Hard to believe they'd use the 30' hull for the cc. I'd think they'd want to go after the Midnight Express-type business.

Re: Top Fish
 

OK, I've seen it. Its a 39 or 42 with a 10' beam and an integrated outboard bracket. The hull sides look like a 38/39/42/46 but fat, low freeboard. I've only seen the hull, I don't think they've built a deck out of the mold yet. They are getting ready to seatrial the hull, I saw it with a temp console in it.

Considering what I've seen of the hull its really going to take the kind of work only Neil has been capable of doing lately to make it look good.

I would expect to see it in Feb.

Re: Top Fish
 

Since they've chosen to use the "Top" nomenclature, I'd guess it's a 39'.

A pig with lipstick is still a pig?

Re: Top Fish
 

Yeah .... that sounds more like it .... A 39 CC to match your T/G !!!

You'd think they'd sell the crap outta them !?!??!?

I'd be interested .... there's a lotta guys out there with 35 and 36 CC's with really not many choices to look at if they wanna move up some .... the M/X is really sweet .... but kinda fat ...... ? Hope to see it in Miami !?

Re: Top Fish
 

Its fat! At least 10'. The MX 39 is a pig, its nothing more than a giant Mako or an overdone 33 Avanti (take a look at the one piece liner and deck, is there any place for something like that in such an expensive boat?). In his infinite wisdom (long story) the owner of the company took all the rocker out of the bottom of the boat (as well as changing it to a 20 or 22 degree bottom), ideally to get it to plane with less power, but at the expense of top end performance. Also with no rocker, its got a really bad flat running attitude and the bow has a tendancy to ride lower than you would like, hence the GIANT spray rails on the customs boats (and some of the retail quad boats).
