Captian, just watched all your videos. WOW 😮 what a Impressive vessel. Was wondering if #2 is finished. Also how often do you tow your boat, is the permits a pain to deal with 👍
We should be doing the sea trail next week :). The new Suzuki DF350s got installed last week. The first one towed easily with my Chevy 3500 dually Dmax. My buddy (who owns her now) tows her just fine with his Dodge 3500 diesel single wheel. We tow a few times a year. It’s about 90 miles from home to the coast. Permits in Washington are $20 a month or $220 a year (last I checked). Alfred Montaner made a video of his visit to the 2023 Seattle Boat Show. He covered some of the boat. th-cam.com/video/J7V4rK28aMw/w-d-xo.html
@@wdlfbio Sweet , hopefully you will have your camera. I watch Alfred’s videos also. Maybe tell your viewers the towing weight on Her madden trip and voyage! My 17’ trophy center console might be a good dinghy. How for are you from Kent wa. by Seatec ?
@@wdlfbio Can’t wait to see the video. Our son lives in Kent. They just moved from downtown. We Charted for pink salmon a year and half ago in Puget sound. Captian had a new 28’ North River. Our first trip in a Aluminum Pilot house. It was great 👍
@@aloissuter1071 haven’t had time for the full walkthrough video yet, but we have put her on some scales. Deducting weight for fuel and some equipment, she’s close to 10,400#, dry. The builder had to move the axles on the LoadRite trailer aft about 11” to get her to tow smoothly. She trailers straight as an arrow up to nearly 70 mph (I didn’t realize I was going that fast at the time).
Both companies make awesome rigs. Neither is cheap. All new rigs have a bug or two to work out, it’s just part of so much customization. The customer service I’ve heard about and experienced first hand from Allied is top notch.
@@wdlfbio that’s good to hear. Both are on my short list for an offshore aluminum cat and I was just curious if there was something specific that had you switch manufacturers.
Wot is 6,300 rpm. Fully fueled (250 gallons) and 6 adults, we hit 48.4 mph burning 0.84 mpg. Cruise is more like 28-34 mph, 4,400 - 4,800 rpm, getting 1.2 a 1.3 mpg. Low 20s will yield 1.35 or so.

@@aloissuter1071 Great idea. I’ll figure the weight and share that. We’re in Olympia, but the boat will be in Westport June - Oct.

What machine you use for welding? Tig or mig?
I’m not the builder, just the client. I’m pretty sure they use both though.
Beautiful looking rig man. How come you went away from ACI and to Allied?

What are the#’s with the new Zuke 350s?

Those #’s are great. Good speed and fuel efficiency and because of the cat ride you actually get to cruise at those speeds a hell of a lot more!
