The 4 deck storage compartments are huge(they can hold up to 5 each 5 gallon buckets), the double fish boxes in the front are huge, the anchor line storage is huge(can hold up to 800 ft. of anchor rode), the center console in huge.

Twin 90 Honda's.

Where's the toilet? they had a pic of a boat on sc with a toilet, where's yours, you never know when you gotta go! j/k Thats nice, it would probably look nicer in the water with some fish in it!

Nice looking.

Looks like it has lots of room......bet 4 could fish out of that boat without being crowded.

Nice rig, i bet it can take the chop very well

Here are a few more. The stainless steel hardware is super thick and super shiny. Very hardcore fishing equipment. T-top is 2", 1.5" and 1" marine grade aluminum.

Nice rig Ray....

We all had black sole shoes... :spineyes:

I knew that Ray....just messin with ya

WITH TWIN 90-HP MOTORS: Top speed 40 mph. Cruise at 30 mph at 9 gallons per hour. The top speed running on one motor is 25 mph.

Got a few pictures with the tail gate down too.

Needs to get a wrap on dat ting!!!

Last 2 pictures.

Man thats a good looking boat!

He needs a safety chain between the trailer and the boat and some transom straps to keep the boat on the trailer. I did notice that.
He also has a custom cover for it. Mounts from the T-top to the outside edge of the boat to keep birdsheet out.

In 20 more years...:D
He don't spent a buttload on what he gots.
I gave him 4 bottom fishing rods, 1 trolling rod, 8' aluminum rig hook and a 5' gaff that I had when I fished offshore. He just needs 4 good trolling rods and some lures/tackle and he will be ready to go.

I took a trip on one of the out of venice before and that thing sure was a fine riding machine! Nice boat

They are custom built, only 2 of them sold in La. so far. Pretty solid built.
When you hit the side, it sounds solid. Not hollow.

that is a bad azz boat

The one I went on was not a calcutta but was a catamaran. Turning was kinda weird. The boat stays level and doesn't lean like a v bottom. Smooth ride in the rough water though

Looks great. He is gonna love that Raymarine package. Now we need some bloody deck pictures next!

Nice boat ray.....I'm sure he's pumped....what's the length and beam on that beaut?

that is one beautiful boat

26' long, 8'6" wide. They are trying to get all the paperwork done so he can take her out Sat. in Grand Isle.

He bought it straight from the manufacturer. They don't do the paperwork for you like a dealer does. His wife is going to the Dept. of Revenue to pay the taxes, then she has to go to the DMV to title and register the trailer, then to the LDWF to title and register the boat.
We got all the paperwork together she needed yesterday, except for a notarized bill of sale. They only sent a purchase agreement with the boat.

ray how long did it take you to clean the drool out? and i hope you got rid of your rag that you used:grinpimp:

:*****:

I'd like to have one bad, but I need to pay off my house and other boat before buying something like that...

Man that's a nice rig ...

Nice bay boat.

I hope the person in this pic is at least 7'4" tall

What's the cockpit depth? looks like 16" - 18"

It is higher up front and lower in the cockpit. It sits high in the water, but is good for inland also. It draws 12" of water.

Ray,

Looks like you guys have had that boat for about 1 1/2 now, can I get some feedback on likes and dislikes or things you would change? I'm looking to purchase one from Steve and want to make sure I get it right. Any advise would be greatly appreicated. :grinpimp:

Thanks
Eric

Nice boat there.... Beautiful electronics and wire harness installs, says allot...

Reply sent by PM.

If you guys want too ride in the 37 ft or fish out of it let me know I have one in cocodrie we can take out. This boat is bad ***

Name the date Im game....I will even throw up a few bills for fuel.

Ditto. If I'm off work.

I even have my own tackle!! I got a few bills for fuel.

Ray. Isn't Calcutta manufacturing out of state? No taxes bro!! When your wife goes to the I.R.S., they will tell her yea or no.....I got burned!!! I thought as long as it was over state lines I was OK, but I got it on consignment from a DEALERSHIP! Private sale, no tax. Dealership, tax. If he got it straight from the maker, sounds like private sale to me!!!

Dang that's a pretty boat

thats a fanfugtastic boat!

That's my brother in laws boat.
He bought it straight from the manufacturer.
They don't sell thru dealerships.
They sell straight to the buyers.
It was built in Fla.
