Picked up one of my bucket list boats this last month. shallow sport latitude 27’ single tunnel
Unrigged the boat two weeks ago and did a full re rig and added new Garmin units and all new pumps. Getting it ready for charters this month.
Waiting for the wrap to get put on later this week. [Linked Image]

Before I stripped it, it was 8300lbs on the trailer. I got it down to 7400lb. I’m guessing it’s right at 5600.

Something says you're not planning on hitting the back of three islands in that particular rig.

Probably not. I mainly fish for shark and snook in the bay. It will up across 8” of water for a super long time. Needs atleast a foot and half to jump on plane. I leave from the Laguna vista marina and the channel to get out is 8” on a super low tide and I have done it in the 32’ x3

I've always thought that was a cool boat. Watched the Shallow Sport crew run in into places you wouldn't think it would go during the owner's tournament.

It would be handy chasing shark in the surf as well... I remember one day you had your hands full with one. Not sure the reel survived it. Nice boat.

It depends on what we are doing really. I can keep the fuel down to about 20 gallons a trip. I paid more in bait on one trip this summer. About to pull the boat out and change it up for this next season. Getting some weight out of it and doing some gelcoat work on the deck.
