Captain Steve Lassley recently visited the Croswait Customs factory in Wanchese, North Carolina to check on the BADCO 50 build. The details the brothers speak about, plus the descriptions of what this boat is built to do - should not be missed. This boat is a total cumulation of Croswait 3 generations of boat building plus our time on water experience, no details are overlooked and no compromises on performance. Just a rad advanced performance fishing machine built for a singular purpose with the latest in technology.

The new Gameboat is the first Sportfish infused hull in Wanchese, Dare County, North Carolina. With generations of custom boat building heritage in this region, this is an exciting milestone for @croswaitaaron. Other components such as the decks, house, bridge, floor will be Carbon Fiber. This 50 will be a contemporary, mean, high performance machine! 

Hull will be coming out of the mold in about 3 weeks. Next is the okoume on bottom and two more layers of glass, then carbon structure for lifting, then stringers, and bulkheads. Once bulkheads are laminated in, it will be pulled out of the mold and completion date will be in 12 months. Tune in to hear more about the history of Croswait Customs and a behind the scenes look at the all new gameboat design for Bad Company's epic billfish ride and world tour. 

Molds now done for future hulls with custom interiors for future owners. Contact Croswait for your custom BadCo50.
