I had it down to the boat I ordered and an Alweld from Lawrenceburg Marine.....build time was 3-4 months for the Alweld and I really didn't like it so this is where I'm at.

I had a boat built once. I will now buy one off a lot.
I bought from Lawrenceburg Marine. I have known Ronnie and Steve for years and had bought other boats from them. There was no fault by them or the manufacturer. It just takes time if you buy from a busy manufacturer because they are booked with orders and you have to be worked in.
IMO, there is no better dealer anywhere than Lawrenceburg Marine. Not sure where they rank now, however they were always the NO. 1 Bullett dealer in the SE.

They are a great dealer. They just did not have what I was looking for. I have bought 5 boats off the lot...but when I bought those was I not concerned about storage length. I am buying another house within the year. If it is possible I will have a garage of at least 25 feet in length......I hope.

Bigger garage, bigger boat. Keep me in mind when you sell this one. :)

It will be built the way I want and is a pretty simple ride. It will take two months before it is ready but will be here in time for the fall bite. Pretty pumped about it. Pretty much like boat in pic except I ordered spray in liner and the battery.....fuel compartment will be covered. The rod locker will extend to front deck.
