Default When are the new 28' and 35' scheduled for production?

I'm hoping to order a new hull this summer. Will the new 28 or 35 be coming out any time soon?
(Is the new 24' ready yet?)

I'll be interested in one of these hulls if the timing coincides and all the other variables work out.

I may cave in for a cat next, we shall see

Thanks
Evan

24's should be rolling off the line within 60 days.

the 35 is scheduled next - probably the fall sometime - then the 28.

Damn those are both sweet pics, I assume the 35 will have a rear bench seat and not the full stagger, (too bad you cant have both in a 35.)

But will you build it eitherway?
A sixpack bolster would be nice too!
You guys will be fully custom, right?

Yes, we are custom, but the 35 with the race deck...or poker run deck will be built just like it was in the old days....no additional bolster in the rear. That setup had perfect balance, so we are not going to try to be smart guys and reinvent something that doesn't need it.

A second but different deck, will have more seating room and will be made in side by side engine configuration.

Right...
What i meant was will you also build a sixpack inleiu of a rear bench.
sorry for any confusion.
A staggered 3man would be insane.

Could the cockpit move forward far enough to accomodate a rear bench and full stagger, without being too far forward? and ruining the proportion and balance?

The bench could be flip up to access the front of the motors or some such thing

Is it possible to have it all in a 35' boat?

i have a question charlie, since you are going to use beter materials than when these were originally built, i thought i heard you say you were going to take some weight out of the boat. if thats the case it will have a different balance than the originals, correct? so if the hull is lighter, then the engines will have a more dramatic effect in making the new boat more azz heavy, so couldn't you move the dash and front seats 2.5 feet forward and allow six pack bolster set up or a small back seat and have the balance about the same. ratman
