Comments: I first contacted Pete back in early spring 2015 about building a custom hull that was first of all simple, open, and clean. The intentions and requirements of this boat was to fit the many different options that we have to hunt here in Kansas. We typically carry gear to where we are going to hunt so hunting from the actual boat wasn't a main priority of mine going in. This boat will also be called upon to fish from this spring and summer. Pete hooked me up with some free deck extensions right before my wife and I came down to pick it up (4' and 2') I will update this same review later this summer.

I had an absolutely great experience working with Pete Willet. The dreaded down payment/wait was a killer at first but soon the hull was bent and picked up so fabrication could begin. I would highly recommend that anyone looking for a custom rig, competitive pricing, and can do attitude check out wccustomboats.com and get yourself a Willet custom.

This is my favorite boat I've seen.. Mainly because I've been dreaming up the idea of a massive removable deck and here it is! how much room is between the catwalks? And Where you located ? I wanna see it in person, hopefully you can make one of the big rides! Oh and why 48 bottom?




Can't stop looking at it

Congratulations on your rig. Saw your boat in its infancy. Really came out nice. There's a pattern that seems to be developing... Everyone is having the same experience with Pete Willett and WC Custom. Excellent review. Enjoy! 8-)
