This purpose-built boat is dedicated to serious fishing. Our extra-wide V-Tech hull is designed to slice through nasty chop while its reverse chines provide an aggressive bite for precise handling. And, of course, we build in standard all of the fishing features you demand.
Key standard package features include your choice of Mercury® outboard, full Teleflex® instrumentation and a painted bunk trailer with swing tongue. Tournament-class fishing features include a 44" long, 23 gallon bow livewell with bait bucket and 14.5 gallon stern livewell with timers and super-reliable Flow-Rite® plumbing, a 7'6" rod locker, roomy in-deck storage compartments and two movable pedestal fishing seats.
