For Sale: 29' Custom Carolina Center Console

**Captain Jay Kavanagh** · 11-18-2008 07:35 PM

A good friend of mine David Wilson, Captain of the Godspeed has been working on this project for quite some time and it either needs a new home, or needs a new owner.

Drawn by Captain Squid (Leonard Rigsby), this rig would make some one a fine ride. Take it home and finish it yourself or get Captain Dave to finish it for you.

Here is the scoop:

29 foot cold molded custom carolina hull. Longitudinals built out of fir, hull planked with two layers of Mirante marine plywood. Bottom is one layer of 1/2" and one layer of 1/4". Sides are two layers of 1/4". Transom is two layers of 1/2" Bulkheads are 3/4" Mirante. Knytex 1208 fabric and West syst epoxy used throughout. Two layers of fabric on bottom, overlapping over keel 6"-8" on each side. Two layers on transom, one layer on sides. Three layers on chine and corners of transom. The hull was smeared with 3M microballoons, board sanded, primed with 545, and DA sanded to 220. The inside of the boat is completely glassed up and over chine log. Bow cap has been installed over cuddy cabin, 1/2" AB fir plywood, epoxy sealed underside and deck beams. Boat designed to be center console/outboard. 9 1/2' beam, 7 1/2' across transom. Beautiful lines, great project for someone who always wanted a custom carolina boat. The most labor intensive part is done.

That rig is gorgeous. I fished with Dave a long time ago seems like a very stand up kinda guy. I am sure he will have no problem getting rid of her.

My pal Jay turned me on to this site, and posted my boat for sale for me. I am now a member, and will be happy to answer any questions. I was building this boat for a friend who mated for me 20 years ago. He backed out on the deal, and now I need to either finish it for someone else, or sell it as is. I have $14,000 in materials, and 650 hours invested. Make me an offer. This is the real deal. 252-995-3311 (before 8:30 EST) or dave@godspeedcharters.com

Someone is fixing to get a very nice boat. Just wondering...what were the plans for the helm/engine? Again...very sweet looking rig!!!! Good luck with the sale!

is this the same hull that I saw in beaufort a few weeks ago?

This hull is the sistership to one Leonard Rigsbee built, and it is running around somewhere in Carteret county, possibly Beaufort, but this hull is in Frisco (Hatteras Island). The one down there has twin 200s, and will run 49 mph.
The original plans were for a center console and a single 250. Of course that's the beauty of a custom boat, customize it to be exactly what you want. Make it fit your needs.

Looks just like the boat Leonard built for Pat. It is powered by twin Yamaha 200's. The boat rides like a dream. The boat's twin is still fishing hard on a weekly basis. Someones gonna get a deal.
