That is going to be the boat to have! Standard AT cockpit (double pilot seat), 2nd row of bolsters behind and then a rear couch. I want a generator and a/c in the cabin too!
Simple paint scheme, solid black/white deck type deal and I want teak flooring (not seadek)........think Playboy style paint scheme. With triple 400's that boat has to be tapping the door on 95 mph!

Wonder where the center of gravity is on a boat like that. Surely it's going to tend towards bow high any time it leaves the water.
Love the idea of outboard reliability and offshore looks

It's all set up for the Brothers in the islands...no more taking classic boats (Apache/Cigs,etc) and pulling i/o power and slapping a bracket on the back - now the boat can come from the factory. Any issue of CG should be easily remedied.
(BTW - This AT looks more in place than the 42X Cig conversion).... Nice Job A.T!

Ran her hard 2+ weeks in the Gulf. Just got home.
CG is addressed before you build a boat with math and computer models, its perfect.
Bow to props is 38', plenty big for the rough.
Thunder owners won't be surprised, that this is the first boat that I actually looked for big cruiser wake; throttle, launch, pull back, flat in air, time stands still, smooth, land, back on throttle, continue!

Great......Pat takes checks! How about out of state, 3rd party checks?
Any chance he could get the boat done on a Friday (on a 3 day weekend, any bank holiday will do fine) and launch it with a full tank of gas for me? I will give him the check upon delivery, because I like to sign the checks on the glove box door.....start the boat, start the boat!
Terrible video clip of a great scene (at 3:30 mark).....just imagine Pat playing "Bob from the Country Bunker" and the black and white being an AT, not a police car!

So much for the no beak, no bustle, no bracket tag line anymore!
Great build, hope you get lots of hours on her!
