I watched that the other day...tried to estimate the man hours...lost count at 1 million.

Congrats for the well orchestrated human wisdom.
That V is a bit shallow, no?

Beautiful. Interesting boat. Pods and a lower station.

Amazing. Just amazing.

Regarding pods----I noticed that all the custom boat builders jumped on this and built a few---but most of the new builds seem to be conventional shafts--with little talk about them--what's the final verdict on pods for fishing boats?.....maintenance?...

Jarrett Bay builds a nice rig. I used to mate on a 50' Willis that was a great sea boat but wasn't the best quality of construction.....too much horsepower and not enough stringers/ribs (it is a stick built boat) nor enough fiberglassing. Boat is gone, the former owner is now looking at 58 Jarrett Bays -- I think my boat isn't going to have too many hours on her this summer.

Or, you have to cross Barnegat Bay and only have 4 feet of water in the middle of Oyster Creek Channel.
