Noli- How about some more freeboard and a Center Console version?

Thanks Noli. I like the seat design. They did a great job! Over and above standard I assume

Great looking boat ! ! ! !

additional Freeboard and a CC version is doable

capped hull & deck

I/O and outboard (300XS/400R) are power options

U-shaped rear bench seating with open bow

MCOB (mid cabin open bow) is another option.

Two small windshields with walk-through the middle is another

Arnaldo would love to build the layout design of your choosing

Why does the hull look like a Skater though?

It's actually an original 30' Doug Wright/AMT design. Same hull I raced in 2004/05.

Honestly one of the most beautiful boats I’ve ever seen. The simplicity and clean lines with the simple yet elegant interior just overall gorgeous boat.

This awesome widebody is now for sale! Wish we were in the market because after riding in it several times we are hooked!

Nice boat but it shouldn't be listed under the Doug Wright/Wright Performance Boats heading.
