CA PT. JON MEADE SHOWTIME! STUART, FLORIDA

I try to keep firm in the “chrome-over-brass” ideal. To me, getting to the fish and driving over them is the most important part of the equation. I have done extremely well on fiberglass hulls, but if I had to choose, I’d go with cold-molded wood boats. Hand-built boats, more often than not, are designed to the owners’ exact wants and needs. Everything is a compromise, and custom boats afford the opportunity to design the ride: weightconscious to make it fast, and layout to make it comfortable. Not everyone is happy with an “out-of-the-mold” design. In Showtime!, we have the exact weapon for our needs.
