Storm Boats Celebrates it’s 25
th
Anniversary
Storm Bass and Flats Boats of
Pompano Beach, Florida recently celebrated its 25
th
consecutive year of building unique
customized bass and flats boats. To celebrate this milestone, Rick Kornmeier,
the company’s president spearheaded a special 25th
anniversary project boat that
reflects Storm’s long time heritage of building custom fishing boats. The boat,
dubbed "The Americana Special"
is being touted as the world’s most
expensive bass boat and features
a custom paint scheme by the world renowned motorcycle artist, Chris Cruz of
Deland Florida. Chris spent over six weeks painting and air brushing this
unbelievable work of art. The paint scheme features over 9 varieties of fresh
and salt water fish, swimming in scenes that look as real and natural as if the
viewer was underwater swimming with the fish. The details in this work of art
can only be discovered by an intense review. There is a hidden flag in the motor
cowling and the planet Mars on the transom and the "Mean Eagle" that dominates
the bow! Other features include: billet aluminum fixtures and hardware; braided
rigging and wiring tubes; powder coated aluminum trailer; custom wheels; full
bench seat with hidden cooler; Stereo and CD player; hydraulic steering,
jackplate and trim tabs; Garmin GPS; custom dash panels; anodized aluminum trim
package; Mercury 225 HP Optimax motor, sand blasted artwork incorporated into
the bilge and storage areas and super detailed rigging. Rick Kornmeier said
" This boat has more options and
hidden details then any boat we’ve ever built and we are considering more
options like a DVD player, etched artistic windshield, fully upholstered
cockpit, spare tire cover and a fax machine! We love building the unusual and
unique!" When asked how much this boat would retail for, Rick replied,
" Well, if you have to ask…………"
Rumor has it that the boat may be the first bass boat to break the 6 figure
barrier!
