Looks Sharp! I always admired how the color yellow just 'pops' on a boat. I'm also a fan of plain jane solid white... timeless.
Off topic, but why haven't more Y2K's been built with the F-16 fighter jet canopies vs molded fiberglass fairing? I understand that Superboat is a custom boat & the owner dictates it's build, but (excluding cost) what is the advantage of the fiberglass fairing setup?
Thanks,
Dan

I think the reason not many y2k are built with the f-16 canopy is cost factor,around 10k extra.The reason so expensive is that they are purchased as goverment surplus(slight defects) and need to be inspected if defects are acceptable,need to purchase a bunch to get good price,these of course are real f-16,some companys( skaterand several other) have made there own canopys but some have a lot of distortion and hard to see through,also a lot of finish work to fit nice.This is why superboat built the fiberglass windshield a lot cheaper and easier.I think a y2k with canopys would be awesome,lower the seats look thru the canopy no wind in face,if i could find a good set i would like to put a set on my y2k.
