Description
IN 2025 HER COCKPIT DECK WAS REPLACED WITH COOSA BOARD AND THE DECK/COCKPIT AREA WAS RESTORED. WHILE IN THE BOAT YARD, SHE ALSO RECIEVED A FRESH BOTTOM JOB, ZINCS, FRESH HULLSIDES BUFF AND WAX, ETC.. (MORE DETAILS COMING SOON)
SHE HAS A LAYOUT SIMILAR TO THE MODERN 37/38' VIKING BILLFISH, WITH A LARGE COCKPIT AND OPEN CABIN BULKHEAD WITH DROP DOWN CURTAINS.
"Wahoo" is a custom built sportfisherman that was built by Matlack Yacht Builders, Inc., which was reportedly formed to Out-Bertram the Bertrams built at that time. They hired Raymond Hunt, the famous naval architect from Boston. Raymond designed all the early Bertrams up through the Betram 38, as well as other name brand boats for various manufactures. Reportedly, there were 3 boats built, however the boats were so well built that construction cost exceeded the market selling price at that time, they ceased production. Three hulls were built, and Wahoo is believed to be either hull #2 or #3.
Bob Byrd (a legendary Texas marlin fisherman in the 70's until his death around 2000) and Norman Frede (a Houston area Chevrolet Dealer) purchased her and named her "Blue Streak" and fished out of Chub Cay (Bahamas) for a while. Bob brought her to Texas and where she is known for raising billfish, as it was one of the top billfish boats in Texas of her era.
She rides on a soft riding Deep V hull and was re-powered in 1994, with twin 300hp Cummins 6BTA 5.9L diesel engines. She sleeps (4) in her spacious cabin.
She's very well equipped and includes the following:
New Generator (2021)
(3) Garmin GPS
(2) Vhf Radios
Rupp Double Spread Outriggers with Lee Sr. Bases
Tournament Fighting Chair & Gin Pole
Plus much more!
The owner will consider trading for a Center Console boat!
All reasonable offers will be considered!
