RGR / Doug Wright 28'

Congrats looks amazing

I thought it looked good but they blocked the sides 1 more time after I took these pictures.

Very nice! Is this going to be a twin 300XS as well?

I think he has 1 of the best looking boats I have ever laid my eyes on . I even asked Dan if I could use some of his interior choices . I love the size and 28 is all that my garage and boat house will fit . I have loved and owned Skaters and had talked to Peter about a new 28' but after seeing Dan's boat and how good it runs modern styling and getting the group pricing it made the most sense for me. The finish on Dan's is great and mine has come out great as well . I have made 3 trips to Fat Cat and several to Doug Wright for the new windshield and dash changes all with Doug and Joe's ideas it has come out great. I will be picking it up the week after LOTO and the rigging will begin . Next I will have to figure out docking with the full cap . The first few trips will be from my boathouse to Silver Glen no docking . I will add some pics later.

Yes it is now a 300XS boat "was originally scheduled to have 400s" but Paul got wise and realized that it is fast enough with XS power. I can't wait to start getting some video and having guys here in Florida being able to see one in person. Dan has been doing prop testing and tweaking so Paul will have a head start and we can all work together on refining the set up as things progress.

Dan held into his boat a little longer this weekend and ran it up to 123. This is with stock 300XS power. I have always held to my original prediction that these boats will run 125 with stock XS motors and 130+ with X power heads. This was done with 100 gallons of fuel on board and warm California air- :thumbsup:

That is rollin' for a 28 foot 3700LB rig.

So, now that the hull has seen some use: how well does it handle rough water?

Thats great to hear. Those are impressive numbers with stock 300xs!

Any video of the boat?

So, now that the hull has seen some use: how well does it handle rough water?--It glides over chop and I personally would take it out in anything that other 28 cats will run in.

Any video of the boat? --I have asked for it many times. We will be picking up another one after things in TX. get back on track "these are built in Corpus Christi". Once we have the next boat rigged I will be doing video myself. It will only be about 40 miles from me.

Willie Sturgis does the interiors.

Is it possible to rig the DW 28 with a single 400R?
