For you guys that swing both ways, this has been my view for the last month. This beauty was built by Bill Koffler of Aquidneck Custom Boats in RI. He is originally from Pt. Pleasant, NJ.
For those interested in the stats, this Cat is 72' long with a 32' beam. The mast is 105'. Its constructed out of carbon fiber and super light. This is a fast boat! Its a nice view but I'm anxious to get the Carolina Reaper back at the dock.

Or maybe a 25’ to round out the collection. Reminds me of a photo years ago with UVs 31 and 20 and Trey’s 25 “Bad Habit” tied up all in a row at the dock over in LA.
Rick that first picture of the B31 at the dock is awesome. The B31 is a pretty boat.
The Carolina Reaper is a pretty boat. I'm afraid that adding the outriggers and flybridge enclosures will change her lines but alas her lot in life is to be a fishing boat not a beauty queen. She started as the Pepper and according to the folks in Bertram Heaven has more tuna on her decks than I can ever dream of.
Maybe so but as the Carolina Reaper (the hottest pepper in the world) her decks will be adorned by many wahoo, swords and dolphin.

Nothing wrong with a fishing boat. Used to be a guy named Brewster on here with a Bahia Mar, it was definitely a fish slaying machine, not so much a pretty boat. I was looking at it in Greenport and told him it reminded me of ‘Orca’ from jaws. He said he got that a bunch.
The Carolina Reaper is pretty, but make it your boat, that’s what matters.
BTW on reread it looked like I might have been talking bad about Brew’s boat. Just the opposite. It was awesome, just not something that would strike anyone as a cocktail cruiser. Lol.
I can’t believe that is the old pepper,I grew up seeing that boat more many many years it was owned by a great family and yes it caught more tuna then most of us combined god luck with her
