Damn you guys are good. The builder is Craig from Jupiter boats, he is the VP of engineering. I have been looking at Aquasports for about 10 months and this was hands down the best I have ever seen. He is installing a power pole and a couple other goodies before I take delivery. I will be posting more pictures soon as well as asking lots of questions. This boat runs skinny! I puckered up a couple times on the wet test.

No we're not good as we didn't guess Jupiter!  Gorgeous boat you've got there, easily worth the price and, in my opinion, almost a steal at that price in comparison to other builders out there.

Notice my guesses were nothing but quality builders, although Tommy...well, Tommy is Tommy.  For those who hear us refer to Tommy and say, "Who the hell is this Tommy guy?", well, he's Tommy West, owner of Hammerhead Boatworks.  Some love him, some can't stand his guts, but he's pretty well known around the Tampa Bay parts...

Nice ride
Clean
Unless your running a tunnel hull there are not many other boats that will run as shallow as a flatback
The anchor box on the bow have a hatch lid?

Matt beat me to it about the anchor locker and missing lid.
