Blank Check — The Top Secret 75′ Bayliss

01

Most sportfishers wait until they are splashed to begin making great stories. The 75-foot Bayliss Blank Check, however, was a notable exception. Not only was the Blank Check the result of over 68,000-man hours nearly 26 months of labor, she was built in total secrecy. Upon delivery, she was given to the owner father as a gift. Built for an international fishing schedule, the boat combines luxury and finish with extreme fishability. Blank Check features a full anodized and mirror-polished tower and buggy top, supplied by Palm Beach Towers, complete with controls. The mezzanine area features custom freezer and refrigerated boxes, a drink box, a large ice bin, and copious amounts of tackle and storage space. There is a built-in livewell supply, as well as adaptability for a fighting chair or rocket launcher. 1 12 The interior of Blank Check is warm, inviting and bold. Upon entering the salon, the four-inch solid teak plank flooring offers a sleek backdrop for the salon and galley. The galley features three SubZero refrigerators, one SubZero freezer, a Miele speed oven and cooktop, a Hoshizaki ice maker, and a wine cooler. The four-staterooms and three-and-a-half heads are well integrated. The forward master stateroom features a custom sofa, complete with built-in storage and two teak-veneered hanging lockers. The most striking part of the master stateroom is a rough-cut stone slab hanging above the bed, filled with fossilized fish and other marine creatures; the feature is a must-see.
