Hey, Alex will be going there this week to get pics. It is completely framed, now and the blocking is going in along with the framing of the bow deck. I will post them towards the end of the week.

Het alex, just decided tonight to make it a flybridge instead. it just makes more sense for the application i will be using it for.

keith, that will be nice! express looks great at the dock but, i always like the visibility of the bridge. can not wait to see it. and how about that.........if a customer said to me, [we decided to make it bigger with a second floor] after i started

Hey guys sorry to dissappoint, talked to bobby today and it is still going to be an express. after doing many measurements it just wouldn't work, the bottom had to be alittle deeper and the house would have looked alittle out of proportion with the way the bottom was laid out now. Plus in my mind a flybridge boat should be at least 48 ft to be laid out the way i would want it, just my opinion. The power i chose was for an express, and the boat would have slowed down a couple knots if i built a flybridge at 42ft with the power i am going with.( Which is the new qsm11 670 cummins not the 660's). the speed is what i was after. Also fuel economy. I some times forget i am in the charter fishing business, not a private boat.
This express will be cost effective, effecient, and a joy to run. Bobby and I talked about this from the beginning. We went through all the options and decided on this one. I will take his advice, hes alot wiser than I.
I will have some pics this week.
