The sixth hull in this proven series, the 61’ custom sportfisher—delivered in 2008—offers a sleek, high-performance platform built for serious offshore fishing. Powered by twin 1,650hp Caterpillar engines, it reaches a top speed of 43 knots and cruises confidently at 37 knots. An 18’ beam and 5’ draft ensure balance and control in open water, with 1,800 gallons of fuel and a 23kw Northern Lights generator supporting long days on the water.

Below deck, the boat features three staterooms, two heads, and a dedicated rod locker closet, all finished in warm teak with durable Corian countertops. With 175 gallons of fresh water, this vessel balances comfort, performance, and storage for extended trips offshore.

Built with purpose and precision, Hull #6 continues the legacy of speed, fishability, and craftsmanship.
