Here is what we are looking at doing for the new 27 Shadow. The deck design is based off of our new 26 Stealth being released next month.

Looks good John, can't wait to see the real thing. The lines and look of the shadow have always made it our dream boat and now this. We are going to have to get out of our ride alot sooner.

Beautiful but your holding out on us. Rob signed that on 5/18 and you didn't post up until 6/13. :D That is really sweet looking and I love the new seat design.

Looks good John. Maybe in a year or so huh:idea: Are you planning on designing a different bottom as well? The reason I ask is because the way the drawing is showing the swimstep as one whole piece more like the 28 Stealth. The transom of the current 27 would have to be completely changed correct? Can't wait to see it in person. I say just stretch it to like a 29-30:D :)

Holy crap Batman. You've only been in yours completed for a couple of months now and your already prodding John to get started on your next want list. Hmmmm I think I'm in the right industry but workin at the wrong place. My boat just turned 3 years old.

Nah. I LOVE MY BOAT!!! I figure this one will not be ready for a year or so. Actually if I get something else I want to get a 29-32 foot cat(ULTRA that is). I sure hope JW comes out with one within the next couple of years because I do not care to own any other company's boat.:)

Same here on the company. I think we are now just waiting for our relocation so we can get the boat the best suits our needs at that time based on the kids age and the lakes and such, also will have to get an HD truck if we start getting into 27 or above. Well unless John wants to trade me even stevens for a new 26 just so he can have an extra one on the water for advertising and have a bichen 24 for the show floor.

I hear ya. I cannot do anything and really do not want to till we make our move to Havasu. I am maxed on in my garage at the house now with the 27 length and height wise. Sorry you are not going to make it out this weekend.

Actually the standard is a 496 HO. Also, JW will put whatever power the customer wants. I know mine has power and I know there is one being built right now with 1200-1400 HP motor. Why don't you step up and order one WITH SOME POWER:idea:

Wish we could but we have a good reason. The baby is due on the 29th. At first I wasn't too dissapointed when I saw it was going to be the run of the mill thing like last year but now that it's changed....... We were talking about still going and just driving down to Rotary for the party and if I wanted a ride there would be plenty of boats but even if the baby didn't come then my wife couldn't do the 4 hours in the car out there right now. Come July though it's on like Donkey Kong.

Bad ass! I say you got another winner right there. I've never been a fan of the 1/4 canopies that a lot of the other builders are useing. Way to go JW for thinking of doing something different instead of just following the industry trends.
Now where are the updated pictures of the new 26 Stealth?:cool:

We will offer a cawl thru bowrider version. Due to the design of the canopy, we have not figured out how we will do a walk thru yet. I'm sure it can be done though. We are doing a lot of "one off" tooling and styling on boats lately. I already have someone that wants one of these, but will a deck boat style walk off the front on a crawl thru bowrider version.

Of course I have no idea how a windshield is made but can't you just cut out the center section and possibly install braces and hinges.

Yeah, that is the plan. We will use some trick billet braces. We will know better once we build the first full canopy 26 Stealth. I just don't want to offer it as an option until I have figured out exactly how it will be finished.

Insurance isn't bad. Probably about $1,200 a year. The cost on the boat will be a little more than the current 27 Shadow. I always hook up the people here on the forums, just give me a call. I already have three of these on order. The first one is someone here on the boards.

Well there you have it. I love my boat and I love owning it outright. The plan is to hopefully leave this one here when we move so I don't have to drag it across the country and then it can be sold and whatever we get next Ultra can deliver to my new doorstep. Of course with cashing out Cali equity and going to a much cheaper cost of living I can go full tool boogie.

Exactly. If I could not build another boat I would still be happy. I love my boat more and more everytime we go out. JW REALLY DID IT UP ON THIS ONE!!!!:)
The same for me. When the new 30 is done we will be or already have made the move to Havasu full time so I will go all out on the 30 of course if $$$ and the wife allow it:D

I love the 27 Shadow except that it's too heavy and sits a bit high in the water. The infusion will cure the weight issue but will probably sit even higher up. If that boat sat about a foot lower it would be perfect because the swimstep would just meet the waterline like the 22 Stealth.
