Looks like a re-incarnation of the mid '80s Wellcraft V-20 Steplift, Center
Console. Wide bow flare, gentle drop to amidships, then a little
"tumblehome" at the back. Runs about 50mph with a good 200 and is usually
available in the mid "fours or fives" (instead of the low 40s)!
I will admit it looks like it has a few more inches of freeboard, but mine
('78 and standard seating) gets me out just as far and fast as this one
without spending another $35,000!

Very pretty and salty looking boat. What sort of price and performance
numbers were mentioned?

In the low 40s all set with what I wanted customized which is about
average for a fairly custom boat. The Blue Fins I was looking at were
about the same price if not a little higher.

As to performance - I was told she will top out at 50+ with 200 four
stroke. I imagine you would go a little faster with a DI engine.

The more I look at the information and the web site, that's the boat
to replace the Ranger.

Of course, I haven't run it yet or taken a test drive - that could be
a whole different ball game. But Tiverton is where I run with my
Ranger so I know the water in Narragansett Bay very well - on a windy
day, I can make a good test for a boat - in particular East Passage
and up around the Narrows between Warwick Neck and Patience Island,
heh, heh, heh.
