i'm looking for info on a huge boat this guy from, i think, oregon was building/refurbishing. it was an old boat used for some kind of utility, about 30' long, and had a probably 4-5 feet from the waterline to the top of the gunwale when not weighted. i recall he built or was building some insane ballast system, like 6,000#+ on one side. there were pics of them surfing it while under construction and the wave was epic.
if anyone has pics or anything of the sort, POST EM UP! thanks.
A buddy of mine in Austin may still be able to contact him. He knew all kinds of info about the boat but I can't remember any of it clearly enough to relay here.
Here ya go Jeff!
Thats crazy! I wish there was some longer footage around
EDIT: The other vid on his youtube profile is longer, but messed up
That's kinda like the boat I wanted to 'Test' out last fall but the weather was too bad. I was looking at a 30ft baja cruiser fishing boat with the key Single inboard. Anything larger was twin engines. The lakes we trailer to are not very big so morally shouldn't do it. My uncle has the 34ft version but twin screws and I know it'll be crappy like the other large cruisers that people have surfed behind.
