J-Boat,
He is standing pat on his hull design as it is fast when compared Apples to Apples .If all things equal kilo runs would be his. He will not sacrifice handling to sell boats with a "trick" bottom.His new transom design will blow your mind. Reminds me of some UIM boats.Have not seen complete Jazzed up deck yet so opinion is out( only saw aft mock up)

Met Richie a few years ago in Baltimore, what a great guy, down to earth! He has nothing to prove, he has already done it and they penalized him for it a few years ago.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Good moto to live by!
Can't wait to see new hull.
By the way anyone looking for a 1989 33' with triple outboards(2.4 EFI) let me know, I know where one is cheap!!

I guess you worked for Richie? I don't remember the whole story but it is a light blue hull with a bracket and I think was rigged by ProRoc up in Brick NJ. May have been bought as a bare hull with no transom cutouts. I almost bought the boat last year but everybody told me to stay away from triples. I was on the boat and it is very clean, hull is oxidized from sitting outside but hardly a nick on it.

Hey TonyM,
Yes lots of things happen to boats after they leave factory and especially after 10-15 yrs. As soon as I clicked off I recalled a "custom" one off, that was done just before I started at Sutphen. It was a 38' center consol,with triples and featured in a magazine.The guy used it to go fishing in the Dry Tortugas.Claimed he could leave Fort Myers and return without refueling.Used to see boat docked under Ft Myers Beach bridge. Again this was a one off, which is what you could get with Richie. He used to say if they want "Blue shoes" we'll give it to them.
Still would like to see the 33.

Haven't been back to see progress as Richie is a "hands on" kind of guy.You wont find him sitting at a desk. So giving him a little time. With the boat shows comming up I'm not sure if he wants pics released yet. I will ask the next time I'm there.
