Sounds real good! Ive got a 502 ProCharged in mine and there is no room to fix anything. Yours looks like youve got enough room to get around the engine bay to get to things.
I really like the build, Id love the boat with black on black theme, matte black with ultra high gloss ; )

I think that will look great. My company make aftermarket accessories for the powersports industry and we produce knee pads and such for ATVs, Motorcycles, Snowmobiles, etc using hydro-turf and i have been using it as accent pieces on the boat where you get in and out and on the front which you could always do to add a little contrast if you decide the black is too boring in the end.

Nice! Are you going to be using the newer style "Carbon Fiber" cloth for the interior material?
Also, Sunsation just sent me the artwork files of their logo if you need them for your design guy to save time/money, i can email the files to you if youd like.

I knew it as soon as I saw it.
I actually came close to going and looking at this boat back when it was listed on CL out by Lake St Clair a few years ago. Then I was sitting on the sandbar on Cass Lake 2 Summers ago when it showed up. It had some god awful high back seats in it!! He ran it all that Summer, I dont remember seeing it last Summer.
