Hybrid Sportfish

[duluthboats]

Yes there is a full keel inboard option. Sorry the study plans aren't for sale. You can get some from Ted, if you buy the full set later he'll subtract the price of the study plans. I may be getting the full set for X-mas.

Oh, forgot to ask, why did you add the sail?

[Corpus Skipper]

Not a sail, outrigger lines. Thanks Gary, and I'll be contacting Ted.

There are a TON of Maine builders who build a boat that is far more suitable for the requirements you put out there. In the 28' range, you have BHM, Duffy, TJason, H&H, Holland and many others that are PROVEN all-weather designs. They are all available to any stage of completion, generally fast with good diesel power.

Thank you "Guest", but try to find a used BHM in South Texas! Bought my last boat in Houston, and making that 4 hour trip 4 times was a pain!

[quote=Corpus Skipper]Posted a whila ago about a single diesel sport fisherman. Checked out the Carolina boats (thanks Gonzo) but they're still not quite what I'm looking for. I love Bertram 31s but they're too power (and fuel) hungry, but they bust through our Gulf chop like it's not even there. These old Berts have also become very pricey. Carolina boats all seem to have a very flat deadrise and I wonder if this is suitable for the gulf. My Chris Craft also has a very low deadrise and she's a kidney pounder. Lobster boats seem to have the ticket, but I don't see any around here. How would they perform in close, steep, confused 4 to 6 footers? At what speed? Anyone know of a hybrid design combining these vessels?[/QU


Dear sir,

We have just added a the 31' Express to our line up, she loves choppy seas.. and is great in a head sea. You can see her here.

I've been looking at this as a possible hybrid:
