The holes you drilled are gonna dump water right on your bus bars.
i was literally typing this but seen your comment... dudes a clown
Very nice!!! Love the lighted pitch wells.
That is one cool boat.
Looking spiffy capt! 👍🏻

She's a beauty!! What a well thought out plan! Super clean install on everything!! I know this is a year ago, but I'm just seeing this. Congratulations on your new boat! Wishing you many years of lip ripping fun!!

That's a dream boat, enjoy.

Awesome boat brother
Nice seat covers too!
Looks great. Enjoying the channel. Found you on the Twin's channel. Love the boat, that bilge is set up well. I just got a Formula 233 hull from 1973 that I'm building into my dream boat. Thanks for the inspiration.
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome boat. I need that seat set up. It’s perfect
Awesome boat and great video keep up the good work..
Thanks, will do!
awesome bro..hard work pays off
Yes it does!
Whats up Captain, CONGRATS ON YOUR AWSOME NEW BOAT.THAT RIGGER HAS SOME MAD ENGINEERING SKILLS.YOUR METHODICAL PLACEMENT OF YOUR LAY OUT IS SPOT ON.BUILD A FLEET ,MUCH SUCCESS. OVIEDO FL..
Thanks for watching Walt! He truly did a great job laying everything out.
Sweet boat man
Congratulations
Thank you!
I want one. The rigger did a great job.
No doubt!
We're coming down soon, im going to try to set up a day with you & a day with Captain Bean.
The boat is for sure sweet ! Being commercially used, built etc. I know the hack job on the cutting / gel coat doesn't bother you much. And we all know how clients treat the boat. But hopefully Lattitude cleans things up if they want to really become a favorite. Between you , Mike from Reel Reports and a few others showing them off, they are going to have a good opportunity. Hopefully they recognize this and get things going a bit more smoother. If they are letting things slip through the cracks now I couldn't imagine with a full workload of higher volume and demand. Its not just in the aforementioned 1:56 and 2:07 mark. Also in the livewells and other spots. With that being said, their rigger seems to be legit ! Hopefully their fiberglass and gel coat crew can learn from them .
Totally agreed and so right about the clients haha
Pretty sick bro! Congrats on the Yamaha deal.
Thanks!!
Sick boat dude
Thanks!
aye but beautiful boat!!
It came out great man!! Im thinking bout putting in the deposit!! for one!!
Totally worth it!
Im hoping my project comes out this nice!
I would love to see how you rigged up your floor drains/scuppers and where the outflows are routed.
The floor drains run in an L straight out the back through a through-hull under the swim platform
@ Good deal. So no problem getting a 90 deg through-hull in the transom.
She sure looks comfy i wouldn't mind ride like that 20 miles offshore.
Awesome boat man. If it were mine I'd relocate those batteries to the center fish box up front since you're only using it as storage anyway.
I like that idea a lot
You know of anyone that builds a 20-22 foot custom hull similar to that one? I live up in wisconsin and fish green bay, and Lake Michigan as well as winnebago and wouldnt really need a 25. Price of fiberglass walleye boats seems like a custom build like that one in a 20-22 footer would be a fun project. Love the boat! Congrats

Thanks for sharing this, what performance are you getting with the 300 Yamaha ? I live in Jupiter and I have been to the LTB location back in February and I am back and forth / debating ordering on of these hulls. I would be dropping down from a 2895 Triton . I want something more economic :-) , And easier to trailer when we go to the keys for our Mini Season Vacations etc. I've been in a Older 25 Contender and I assume the ride is similar ? Please correct me if I am wrong.
With the single 300 Yamaha your top end is 51 with a cruising speed of 35mph @ 3mpg. This is the perfect boat for the Keys and yes they ride just like the 25 contender. Same
Hull as the contender, seavee and whitewater. Best riding 25’ boat on the market
Hey. Where can we get switch panel like that? Been looking but no luck. Thank you!
awesome build. How many clients will you be able to take? Where will they sit? Cooler in front of console? Looking forward to your fun future videos...
4 clients. cooler in front of console. bean bags. Not too sure. Still figuring that out.
looks awesome.. nice job.. one question, why not a Rhodan?
Just not ready to dive into them yet. I think they are a great motor but their controller is a little behind the competition, plus minn kota and motorguide have the strong reputation.
I've been operating under the assumption the _all-around white_ light needs to be one meter above the level of the port and starboard navigation lights.
It was temporary until I put the tower on. The tower now holds the anchor light
That steel anchor is close to your buss bar. Hopefully it doesn’t move too much .
The back of the speakers make me more nervous then the buss bars. Luckily the anchor has a nice snug spot for it
I really like the bench seat, would you provide the make and model, I want to change out my boats to a more comfortable seat.
Welding world inc in Miami did the leaning post
@ Very cool boat build, do you happen to know the manufacture of the seat its self?
Anchor well has paint runs and you can see the fibreglass weave through the paint.
For 39k the fit and finish is exactly what I need for charter fishing. It’s a solid built boat and that’s all that matters
@ LTB site shows $57K for just the hull
Very nicely set up, I'm curious about how much $$$ you have into it, tax tag trailer out the door?
Way to much
If you could give us a round about number that would be great I’m assuming around $80-90k?
beautiful boat enjoy and use it well
definitely get the tower (now is the time you only do it once )
and if possible the rod holders for sure (can never have to many and its a great spot)
i say you will never be sorry for what you put but you may be sorry for what you didnt ...
either way the boat looks great !
Thanks, will do!
Sorry if I missed it but what is the manufacturer of the boat? I know you customized it. Great boat! Subscribed!
Latitude tournament boats (LTB) is the manufacturer. It’s the old 25 seavee hull they are using. Killer riding boat
And issues with anchor bouncing around smashing speakers and electrical? Seems like a bad idea at the bounciest end of a boat but just curious
No problems. It tucks up in there perfect and doesn’t move at all. Just have to put it in right every time is all.
Who did the rigging?
Nice but console seem a little narrow I think my bay boat console is wider
It could be wider than mine. They are all different sizes. This one is Narrow but plenty of space. I wouldn’t want it any wider.
Where r the trolling motor batter/batteries? AGM or lithium?
The trolling motor batteries are in the console with the house batteries. Just your standard west marine batteries
whats up with all the saw marks at 1:56 and chipped gelcoat at 2:07
From the rigger or manufacturer . One of them . Not a big deal though. Coaming bolsters will cover them eventually
@ knowing its there would be a big deal to me on a 100K+ boat. Would also make me question the build quality in other areas. From the videos you posted the shear lack of organization in there shop would have questioned me. When your mixing gelcoat in a arizona tea jug ... come on
No doubt. The overall quality of the boat is what I would call “commercial grade”. The finish on it is not as nearly as nice as say a seavee would be, which makes this boat a very affordable one to begin with. So little mistakes like that are whatever you know? Definitely a little irritating but not bad enough to say something.
@ he quoted me 130k rigged with a 300. I know its not seevee or yellow fin but for a 130k single engine you can get alot more then commerical grade.
That’s a little crazy. You can get this boat on the water and fishing for 80k
Hey I would love to go fishing with you where r u located r u close to Tampa
Islamorada
what kinda helm seats?
Welding world inc
Who did your electrical?
Mac Carter out of Tampa
6:53 what are those 2 boxes and what are they for?
They are called "Pump Boxes" or "Seachests" . each pump inside the chest feeds a livewell on the boat.
Ok, thx for the reply. Nice boat and very nice clean setup.
Have you ridden on the 25 Cometition Boat? If so, how does it compare to your Latitude? By buddy just ordered his Latitude and I am leaning that direction, but the Competion is near me and they claim to be about the same, and the guys has been building them for 20 years.
only thing you forgot was a power pole 😂
lol thought about it. figured they would get in the way.
Tekéze TV true that 😂
Weren’t you selling it on the hull truth site for $160K? What was the reason, not a good boat?
1:52 and 2:03
How much does a boat like that cost?
80 - 100k
You got a lot but no shade.
T tops don’t go well with our style of fishing down here
Please link your watch or give specs on it...see y'all soon in the keys
It’s the Garmin Quatix 5
@ why aren’t you doing affiliate links or an Amazon store front page for the gear you use?
Congrats on the New Boat!!! Rigging looks really clean, great color choices too! Like the leaning post! Looking forward to the videos. Checkout my channel.
You forgot to mention the bimbo Was she custom
Nice boat but for a custom build they didnt even finish and fair all those hole that are in the gunnel cap. Not sure why they drilled all those holes or left them open but I would not have been happy to see holes just drilled in the gunnel cap.
That's probably pilot holes for cushions. Im more concerned about all storage compartments were not sanded and faired smooth it will be nightmare to clean. other then that build looks solid.
tbh, need a potty for the ladies in the console.
My GF would agree with you
That Yamaha motor color is disgusting. I don’t know why thay stay with it
Women I think may have become inattentive. It's very wishy washy out there!
Bro the boat is great but how the hell are you gonna run charters in the Keys everyday with no Bimini Top??!! Are you crazy??? That would have been my FIRST requirement!!! You are gonna regret this major thing!!! You are gonna roast yourself AND your clients!! Believe me you are gonna be regretting not putting that in FIRST!!!! Don't matter how many bells and whistles are on the boat if you are broiling in the heat none of that shit matters😎
You have to remember that most of the fishing I will be doing is local (around the bridges) and backcountry. It's not going to be a full time offshore boat. Not saying I wont get a T-Top down the road but I want to go through next tarpon season (2021) first before I make a decision. There are a lot of low bridges in the keys and its necessary to not be restricted by height when fishing. Right now I can just barely fit under the BNM bridge and thats huge for me to be able to get through that bridge. The majority of Captains that operate similar boats have no top, only a small handful do.
Tekéze TV No man I feel ya! I'm just saying in that brutal Keys heat I don't know if I could make it day in and day out with no shade. But I am a title older than you and when I was younger prob didn't give a damn but now not so hard core. Great boat bro and I know you are gonna enjoy the hell outta it....Tight lines my dawg😎
Once I save up some $$. Hopefully have one on by next summer possibly.
Tekéze TV sounds like a plan brotha!😎👍👍
Who did the rigging?
Central gulf coast marine services out of Tampa. MAC and WOODY
