Re: Finally done

holy cow thats right, i forgot they actually made a 48 footer of that boat. thats gotta be like sit'n on the roof of a pole building at 100mph.

i was actually wondering about the new 49 foot OceanX that Ross an the crew in Algonac have been working on. it is VERY cool

Re: Finally done

You have to find so more pics of that 49 Ocean Express.

You have to get some testing on that boat b/4 FL. Get all of the bugs out.

Re: Finally done

This is what we hit labor day weekend before the header took a dump.

If UPS does it job and all the parts and pieces will be back today, we will be wrenching round lunch and splashing by 3-4 pm.

Hopefully we will have the opportuntiy to run and see what kind of final numbers we get.

Re: Finally done

The header did the trick. Also they finished the canvas. Will post a pic. Have to remove the trany valves and send them back for a little more shaving. It is a little better but he said he can take a little more off.

It will take a few days to determine how the savage lines faired. The GPS speedo is now working but is irrattic. May have to relocate antenna.

Still a lot of interior work to do. Hopefully have it finished over the next two weeks.

Working on the trailer today to improve the loading capabilities.
