    Dude is gonna crush it with that boat in Florida. Solid design, looks comfy, gets everything you need.

      We think so also. The layout kind of offers everything. You could even enclose the cabin and add A/C, or heat for northern climates, if you wanted. All around great design.

      One of these would kick ass over there! When we were in Maui last year an older Armstrong pulled in one day that has been a dive charter for years there. Still in great shape and working as it was intended.

      Hey thanks Duncan! It’d be so easy to enclose the back bulkhead on this boat and heat the cabin. I really like this new layout and these cats blow through chop and are so stable. Really nice ride!

    Very, very nice. What's the weight difference compared to the same thing but in glass?
    One detail I'm surprised they didn't do is the frame less windows. Would've added that extra bit of luxury.

    • @live2boat
      @live2boat  9 місяців тому +2

      That’s a good question. Not sure why the owner didn’t go that route. ACI is installing frameless glazed windows on most of their boats now. They look so sharp!!!

    This is close to what I spoke about in my comment to you a few months ago. I know you referred me to ACI about this, but if they could sexy up the profile and block bow it would be a sure winner. The aluminum's custom feature is awesome; it looks like this guy got what he wanted. I am in FL, so a warm weather version is what I need too. Do you know the weight of this one?
