Pretty rare you see it out and about. It was Parked in front of Conquest today so i took some pics.

This boat was built right before the financial crash and was going to be Conqiest’s flagship deckboat. I remember when they brought it to the boat show everybody was talking about it because it was “massive” and dwarfed everything around it. Some of the other boat mfg’s were haters and called it the whistle whale and Moby Dick.. lol. (Boat was all white back then). After that the crash happened and it just kind of disappeared.

The Top was re tooled a few years ago if I remember right to make it Moe aggressive and add canopies. I have never been in it so i cant tell you how it runs, but it looks amazing.

Looks a bit like an E Ticket.

It does.. The same guy (Scott Kornowski) tooled both! Not many know but Scott designed and tooled the ETicket and it was actually his company before he sold it to Larry who then sold it to Brad Stewart. All extremely talented individuals.

Does conquest want to bring this hull back into production?

I’m sure they would if people were interested in buying them. Honestly Conqiest doesn’t do any marketing anymore (anywhere to my knowledge?). So it is kind of hard to determine what they want to do over there.

Is this the 25 cat with the outboards you are talking about? Curious as well on it.

Was at Conquest a few weeks ago looking for some carpet and that boat was sitting there walked over and through it that is the raddest deck ever for sure, they said it was one if only two ever built and that they were looking to possibly start another soon.

Its interesting.

You give up a swim platform and engine hatch area as lounging/laying surfaces but the look is cool.

Was going to say the same thing about looking like an E-ticket.

It looks like Skater, Eliminator and Magic had a threesome one night and ended up with a redheaded step child.

I’d love to hear how this runs. Looks like it came with 525’s originally but added added SC’s later. Personally, I liked it better all white without the canopies.
I’d say it’s a deck boat due to the “walk on” feature. I tried to convince my wife that a few DCB open bows were deck boats.

Looked a million times better all white before they added the hideous canopies.
