Re: It's official--E Dock the place to be!!
I'm trying to get a good shot of the swim plateform. It is a 42 with an extended platform, kinda of like to Miami Vice boat just in a 42' version or 43 I guess you could call it.

Thanks for the pics big daddy. You can really see the difference with those last ones. So are you thinking about the 44 with shafts or something different.

Re: It's official--E Dock the place to be!!
what is the biggest diff between 42 and 44? is the 2' in the hull or the extended transom? if its not in the hull, i would just do the 42 with bpms...

I'm with you BLee. Tommy Bahama is a clasic to me. And the conversion is incredible, looks like a brand new boat. I should get some pics when we're up there in a couple of weeks.
Sean, the hull is the same the only difference is the top deck is extended 2 feet for the 44, but it does seem to change the lines to me. I like the looks of the 44 much better.
However to do the BPM's you have to go with the 44, the extra lenth is for the Rudder which is located at the back of the tail section. this also raises the price of the hull $60K because of all the reinforcement needed for the rudder.
I am considering a 44 with #6's. This should bring the price back down closer to the price of a 42 since they won't have to do all the reinforcing, but you will get the same lines.
A 42 with the extended tail section is also a consideration.

i want the new rear deck extension there putting on all the big cats these days... i like the idea of the 42 with the rudder and race style extention covering the drives... and some nice PSI motors under the hatch..

Re: It's official--E Dock the place to be!!
If you do the Extended 42 you can't do a rudder. The rudder requires the 44 hull. I'm thinking the extended 42 or 44 with sixes and no rudder, mostly due to $$.
Who do you think will build your motors. I love the looks of the PSI.
My big motor is suppose to be ready thur or Friday. I have already pulled the 900's and getting the other 1250 ready to install. Gotta have it for the Big Dicks run with all the hardware coming.
