nice video guys. good to see a small builder doing well and being sort after by buyers. Maybe the big builders could learn a thing or two and start building quality boats again.

[@unoefxz]

Another amazing "small" builder making awesome stuff is Mark Weigle who is the owner at TUFF marine, check them out!! Really superior craftsmanship and design just like this guy but aimed at race/pleasure. I like the Coot better for all the room in the boats!

That apache is another Don Aronow hull, Thunderboat row which is where most of his boat were built. is a 30 minute drive from my home in South Miami.

Interesting

[@callmepokey1]

am I mistaken or did I not see any center consoles...would love to have a soft ride like that but the ability to go offshore with it. another Floridian looking for a nice riding boat,.

[@jakebuzza506]

callmepokey1 there was 1 side console

[@tristanmccauley2318]

This bloke could build you anything you want I reckon.

[@JohnSmith-ib1ky]

Centre consoles are not as popular in Australia as it is in the US. We have rough oceans and go offshore fishing quite often, a centre console 20-30 km offshore if the weather gets rough would be very scary if not catastrophic.

Setting here wondering how much fish I could buy for 50,000 dollars, lol.

[@edobihac82]

50.000 thousand dollars worth of fish that's how much

[@tristanmccauley2318]

Or 50 grand could buy half of one of those boats
