I'll set something up.

Hi Ray,

Like Eric (Coral Head) above I've been looking at the Calcutta 263. I took a ride with Steve at the factory about a week ago and really liked it.

Would you also give me some feedback on what you and your brother-in-law like and dislike about the boat, and there is anything you would change?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Wally

I'm game

there is one in grand isle that stays in the old cigars marina. beutiful boats. passed me one day like i was sittin still.

Bet that sucker was some serious cheese!! Nice.

There are 2 there. First stall is my brother in law. 2 or 3 stalls down is another one.
They run around low to mid 20's at cruise. Not sure what WOT is.

A 24 ft. loaded Haynie costs about the same.

Ray, I spoke to your brother in law a few weeks back about it. He definately loves his boat.

He works too much. Only off 1 weekend a month.
In June, he is taking off every weekend.
I'ma gonna spend some weekends over there too.
I like the offshore fishing over there. Gets deep fast.

At 9 gal/hr, that will be some very affordable snapper trips, even cheaper than mine!!!

Nice looking rig and of all the features, that fresh water tank is the bomb for offshore fishing! Here's a hint: pour a bottle of "Florida Water" in everytime he fills the tank. When you rinse off you will be clean and refreshed, as well as smelling good. Put on a fresh shirt and sleep like a baby on the ride in sitting on bean bags!

nice!

Ray,

Do they make smaller versions?

Ray,

What the story behind the flat transom. I'd be worried about getting too much water in the back or having a kid wash out.

I think they just build this 26 footer and here's a few pics of Calcutta37's boat in Cocodrie. Its the 37 footer

THey don't go far out of G.I. for Snapper. Quick trips.

Last time I looked, they only built 2 sizes.
That 37 looks nice. There is a new one in Grand Isle. THey got it wrapped.

Ray,

Sent you a PM.
