I think I have declared the hull finished three times before this. But as I was milling lumber for the trim and rubrails, I kept running my hand over the boat and could still feel bumps. Then I opened the overhead door to natural sunlight and could see shadows. So one more time I got out the grinder and some super-sandpaper used for auto body work and chewed into the hull. The same old problems at the root of the bumps emerged:. Given the amount of structure and tabbing beneath them, there is no way they will ever let loose, so I sanded the one down that was still high, got rid of most of the filler and that was it. Now it is and they came down fine. Future builders: just use plain 10 oz glass on the hull. Xynole is like body armor in toughness, but just too hard to work with. I reprimed the whole hull today, and there are still lots of imperfections, but once the boat is trimmed out and on the water, they will be very tough to spot. Primed up the forward windows, and as you can see, they look fine. And with all the painting gear out, I used all the excess primer to work my way back through the deckhouse interior. Bumps ground out. Almost all of the high spots were filler, and I never really had to grind into the Xynole.

But what they really mean could be a telltale sign of which used boat to buy, or not to buy. Oooh, the clean sweeps and crisp lines of those boats. Such style! But hull design is not just a matter of style. Well, they do it because a deep-V hull is seaworthy but slow, and a flat-bottom is fast but flakey. Finding a blend of seaworthiness and speed has become a tantalizing challenge for some builders.

During my trial of the Z I can say that I did not experience this hesitation. I will also say that I have experienced it aboard other boats. These are on the aft hull panel only—that is, the part of the hull aft of the aft-most step.

The Hull Truth is a free interactive forum. It is the first largest boating, sailing, fishing, all things marine life forum on the web. The forum cuts across everything there is to know about life on the sea, including buying and selling boats, fishing, marine electronics, and a host of other related topics. The hull truth website began on the 21st of February as a substitute to Saltwater Sportsman magazine internet forums. The need for a substitute forum emerged when most forums on Saltwater Sportsman were getting withheld as the advertisers in the magazine did not like the effects of an open forum as they discussed issues affecting their boats or products.

You actually put the stern-drive into a pocket. The result? Many people have told me that there was a big change in the hull after 76 and that if you didn't want a flatback but still want to run somehat shallow that you needed a hull. Search Advanced search….

Not the fastest but a very well thought out boat for comfort and fishing. SimplePortal 2. I plan to do the same with our Grady, and only hope it turns out as well as our MB did. I think some people can appreciate another person's reasons for choosing something different than their own choice, and some others can't.

The Pursuit OS might be the smallest in our Offshore series of boats, but it packs a huge punch. Loaded full of equipment and offshore fishing features that will put any other deep sea fishing boats to shame, the OS also offers a luxurious onboard experience that can rival most sportfishing yachts.

Grady continues to take owner feedback and redesign. What it ultimately boiled down to for me was the comfort features of the Grady White. I live close by Sarasota where Yellowfins are made.
