I took delivery Friday in Miami and ran down to the Keys overnighting there and then running north to Marco on Saturday. Boat is safely in its rack on the Island.
When they install the seat could you post a picture. I am considering redoing the interior of my carrera with something like that.

I will do that. I will be back in FL later this month and Jay will get a nice set of pics including some running shots. The rear bolster will be a few inches lower than the front but considerably higher than the standard back seat. Think it will work out just about right. With it being 3 man, the center person will have a view between the driver / navigator and the two outside positions should have a clear view as well.

Anyone else see the irony that the builder doesn't want to rebuild the boathouse so he just ordered a smaller boat?


Good luck with the new boat Bob, I'm sure it will be the most travelled Renegade ever built!
Another funny guy this morning ! LOL I knew that was going to come up. I'm just feeling very lazy these days. Your still a friend, JS. LOL

Beautiful boat.

It looks like the throttles may get in the way of independent use of the shifters based on the picture?

They are closer than I would have liked but actually works OK. Around the docks the throttles which are higher are pulled all the way back giving access to the two shorter shifters. It did not take long to get used to but I agree having them spread more is better.

Bow area is a cuddy with seating / berth and ceramic toilet. There are also seats on each side of the entrance door to the cabin as well as a seat in front of the center console. Seems to be proportioned just about perfect and Jay's pictures will eventually show al that detail.

Looks great Bob. I'm going to be bringing my boat down to Manny next month for the winter. I'm going to have him fix a couple of things and make some upgrades. I will be waiting to see how your seats come out because that just might be another upgrade that I'm interested in.
