I think they're well made boats Capt. I really like the Cuttyhunk Sport Cabin models. I went all through the prototype two years ago at the boat show because it was one of the only boats of it's type that you can get a diesel option in a 21' or 23' pilot house. 8)

I'd have to go inboard (not stern-drive) w/ that or you're gonna EAT-UP all your cockpit...

Sure is a great lookin' boat and I've heard a solid hull ;) 8) ...

Can't find what deadrise is ??? ...

Hey Oz, not on a jack shaft I/), the engine mounts in the same place as a V Drive engine, thsy just use a driveshaft under the deck to go to each outdrive. You can use that Volvo duo prop and being able to trim the drives up lets you have a much shallower draft than an inboard. So the whole cockpit is wide open!!
