this is the rest of the pic. the interior is not complete so no need for pics. marlineer ive been lookin at this boat since 2006. it is preaty much perfect. its cool that you got to see it being built. I think its for sale now, found the listing on( sacsmarine.com) the price hasn't changed since he built it... was the boat ever fished?[/

That 61 looks like Ritchie Howell is also going to build Florida Shear lines similar to Bayliss and Spencer. Looks Good!

No doubt its going in that direction .. actually the 54, 60 Express and the 61 that are being built right now have more of the Florida shear then Ritchies boats have had in the past. I like the look, some like the traditional broken shear look more ...

Capt Mark,
How far has the 60 Express progressed?

The 60 express hull has been built, flipped and bulkheads going in ...still a solid 12-14 months away . The interior renderings are complete and she will be just as beautiful inside as she is outside. The 54 pod boat is moving along ....engines and pods installed, some of the mechanical done .. hull being prepped for paint and interior being worked on ... owner has made some changes to bridge layout, but its moving along. The 54 will have a lower helm station, so curved front glass on the house. Still deciding on 2 panels or 3 on the glass ... here are just a few of the interior/exterior shots of the 60 ... much more on the website if your interested

One of the things that I like so much about Ritchie's boats are his characteristic bow stems..That's one thing that I can really identify his boats by is a profile of the bow line. I do like the less abrubt shear break on his boats in progress too. His are prettier than Spencer and Bayliss boats in my opinion..

Agreed .. these drawings of a 66 and 72 really show the new lines .. hopefully we'll see one of these in the shop soon

Hi SG,
Thats one hell of a shot!! Hatteras 54 GT

I for one think it will be a let down to see the lines of the Ritchies change. I think the lines on boats like Rebel and Canyon Runner are unique and attractive. Seems like many manufacturers are moving towards the Garlington/ Spencer lines which are appealing no doubt but not my personal favorites. JMO.
