Dude is gonna crush it with that boat in Florida. Solid design, looks comfy, gets everything you need.

We think so also. The layout kind of offers everything. You could even enclose the cabin and add A/C, or heat for northern climates, if you wanted. All around great design.

It's weird to me more florida boaters don't have aluminum boats...especially seeing how much they run aground, lol.

@@shaynelhta Haaaa…lol! A lot of the law enforcement boats are Safe Boats and Lifeproof boats and they are all aluminum. They seem to do fine in warm water environments.

My favorite boat ive worked on so far!

growing up fishing in Alaska, ive been on many Armstrong Catamarans, they definietly have the CAT figured out!. if i had a half a million lying around, i would buy a 34x12

Right on Joseph! It’s the daily beatings running through chop that gets me in Alaska. These cats just sail right over it for a super smooth ride.

Man, that is one sweet ride! I've been thinking about this boat ever since you did a video of it at ACI. This would be perfect in Eastern Canada or the Great Lakes in a "Cold Weather" version. Thanks Rob!

Hey thanks Duncan! It’d be so easy to enclose the back bulkhead on this boat and heat the cabin. I really like this new layout and these cats blow through chop and are so stable. Really nice ride!

Would love to have one of these here on the Big Island. Seeing this in Florida definitely peeks my interest.

One of these would kick ass over there! When we were in Maui last year an older Armstrong pulled in one day that has been a dive charter for years there. Still in great shape and working as it was intended.

This is close to what I spoke about in my comment to you a few months ago. I know you referred me to ACI about this, but if they could sexy up the profile and block bow it would be a sure winner. The aluminum's custom feature is awesome; it looks like this guy got what he wanted. I am in FL, so a warm weather version is what I need too. Do you know the weight of this one?

I saw this boat on sea trials in Port Townsend

Play show was great. How much does it cost?

Very, very nice. What's the weight difference compared to the same thing but in glass? One detail I'm surprised they didn't do is the frame less windows. Would've added that extra bit of luxury.

That’s a good question. Not sure why the owner didn’t go that route. ACI is installing frameless glazed windows on most of their boats now. They look so sharp!!!

Love the boat for SoCal, what is the price range for something like this ? 300K, 400K, 500K ?

@live2boat

I think the higher end of that price range. They are building a SICK 42 footer for San Diego right now. Give them a holler at 360-385-1203 if you can.

Thanks for the tour. Don't tell the East Coast the benefits of aluminum hulls

How is it going to be with all the lightning strikes down there? Any different than a fiberglass boat?

@live2boat

2 ай бұрын

That’s a good question. I haven’t heard anything that would indicate that they get struck more than fiberglass boats. I’ll run this by some of the aluminum boat builders we work with and see if I can come up with an answer.

Cost?

are you saying that the mid deck between the engines, is first on their boat? Nope, about 4 years late. But maybe first on an aluminum cat.

I’m a tall drink of water at 6’6”. The owner had the height of the cabin cut down a bit, I kinda like it..makes the boat look more sleek and trim
