Default Invincible 33 completion... many pics

After a delay because the windshield wasn't made the right size, the boat is finally home in its bed, er lift. Below are the pictures. Dont' ask for performance numbers, because the engines have less than 5 hours. Numbers will come after 50 hours. Enjoy!

Last time I saw Rob at the tackle shop he said they cut NO corners. Looks like he meant every word of it too. Nice rig!

Today I ran the boat a lot. WOT was 61.3. I was cruising around 42 mph. The boat rides awesome at that speed. Extremely comfortable.

No issues. The deck livewell runs off the high speed pickup, which works flawlessly. The transom livewell works like a regular transom livewell; it uses a pump.

Good to hear the 33' is running better than the 36'. I know that even with boxes and high speed pickups the 36 was having some issues with air involving the steps anywhere between off-plane and wot. If it's as flawless as you claim, it's the boat to be had.

The Inv. has been excellent so far. I will post performance numbers later today.

For the Cabo questions. Yes, the Cabo is still here. That boat is very special to me. I've been to many places with it, caught many fish, and I still enjoy it a lot. In fact, I just got rid of the fighting chair and replaced it with a 6 rodholder staggered rocket launcher with bait tray and drawer. I've been setting it up for the upcoming sailfish tournament season. I hope to fish at least 2 of them this year.

The Cabo is excellent. IMO, it is the best boat in its class. Awesome fishability, great at drift, and a good rough water boat. The build quality and attention to detail is the absolute best in the business. I will be glad to answer any questions regarding both boats.
