This is the second 43 That Custom Schiada Boats out of Long Beach CA has completed. This particular boat seemed like an insurmountable project, being that almost everything in the boat is truly a custom one off piece. From the Interior layout and wrap around benches, to even the bulkheads, doors, and front state room, it truly is one of a kind.

The boat has been shrink wrapped at Teague Custom Marine, and is now enroute to the Miami Boat show, and we expect it's going to take a lot of the show goers, and other manufacturers by surprise!

This boat was modeled in a 3D Cad software, and every aspect of the boat was painstakingly gone over before production began, and a lot of it was changed and redesigned during the production process! I think you'll agree the results were well worth the wait!

The boat features a hydraulic lift on the back that can be used as a variable height swim deck, or it can lift a 3 person jetski or small tender out of the water as well. In this picture you can also see the extremely large sunpad with reverse facing lounges for when you are anchored off a beach.

Unfortunately we were unable to get down to Long Beach before the boat shipped to Miami, so the pictures I am using in this article were taken while the boat was under construction and just taken with a camera phone. Even though the images are a little wanting, I believe the quality and inspiration of the boat comes through.

The Rear Bench behind the captain and navigators stand up bolsters.

The Stand Up Bolsters are designed with carbon fiber supports for the T-Top integrated into the seats. The supports are behind the seat cushions by a few inches, so even though it might look like it in these pics, there's zero chance you could hit your head on one.

The electric cabin door also doubles as stairs to get up on the bow of the boat

The interior of this boat can only be described as "monochromatic." It has a very East Coast feel blended with European styling. Take note of the CNC cut designs in the floor, and indirect lighting everywhere throughout the cabin.

Some pics of the full kitchen (sink, dual burner cook top, microwave hidden in the cabinets below, as well as a refridgerator). Note all of the electronics and appliances on this boat run on European 230 volt power! Everything except for the Microwave and air conditioner automatically switches over to 12 volts for usage when the on board Generator isn't running.

Here at the end of the cabinets you can see the second of the three TV's (all Satellite) in the boat.

Again looking forward you will now see the entry way to the private bathroom, and state room in the bow.

The bathroom is off to the right and the Hoop style faucet that matches the one in the galley, and the porcelain toilet all came from Italy

Finally we get to the State room which features an exceptionally large bed, it's own stereo, and the third of three TV's

This boat has so many features and amenities it would be impossible to list them all in one article, but in my opinion the most important feature is the fact that it lives up to the Race Heritage of Schiada having already pulled 93 MPH ON GPS with only twin 700 Mercs and NXT Drives. Lee Spindler feels that with a little more prop dial in the boat should settle in at around 95-96 mph when it's complete.

Congrats on finishing an amazing project guys, and best of luck at the Miami Show!
