[Just Tool'in]

Congrats Randy! That is a TUFF boat! I will have to look you up next time I am in Ormond to check it out! Awesome lines!

Dude, should have hit me up when you got to 'Cuse. Could have had some awesome ethnic food and drink! Good luck with this project.

Can't wait to see how this turns out. Sweet looking boat for sure.

I'm not a big V-Bottom guy, that is one good looking boat! Later, Dave

Are you thinking the Excalibur 27 that Wellcraft picked up the molds for and called it the 27 Speedster ? (The molds which I understand were used to build the Activator 27)

Boat looks awesome !....Is this the Demo boat we all heard was for sale? or a new one ?

Sorta reminds of a boat called a "speedster" from the old days.

Good luck with her ..

magnum based Excalibur went to welcraft to activator to menage overseas
were very narrow boats 6' wide at transom with a 24deg deadrise ,,,great wave crushers for their size
these tuff hulls are more of a lake boat design very wide 7'8' and low deadrise 20-22 with cockpits pulled back to give it a very light bow
with a pretty wide pad on bottom
will produce great speeds as was designed for,,,not a wave crusher with the bottom design and very low sides
looks to me like an 18-21' closed deck ski boat of the 80s like a checkmate,ect just stretched to 28'
very good looking boat ,,,,,,and know randy will make it even cooler 1nce hes done

Yes, That is what I was thinking. Then there was also the 27' that signature made, another long deck wave crusher that was heavy and had a deep deeprise. Needed alot of HP to make them move but what a sex look !

Here's a pic of the original scale model...if anyone is interested....I always wanted to grab it and try a K&B 3.5 on it lol.

Cool model, how long is it ?
Oh and no KaBoom - the new OS stuff is a much better package for it

[WILDMAN]

The TUFF 28 is 28' 4" long, 7' 11" wide, and has a 22.5 degree deadrise.
