The boat that didn't make the show....
 

but almost....

due to......

technical

diffi CULT ies

Looks like the electronics on top of the manifold require notching the drip rail around the back. Guess its not just a bolt in 525 replacement.

and ever changing

ideas (and need more coffee)

and, yes......

they didn't bolt right in.

Looking great Pat ! I like the new battery location, cooler and dash layout. Keep up the good work.

not quite what we wanted

nah.

warm

First one with Merc 565's? The cabin looks killer, nice job. Red is sooo overdone...

Nice finishwork

i like all the extra storage in the cabin. cool layout,

I saw your post before you changed it. That was a good observation and solution.

Truth be told we had cut the "x" and did not know Mercury had moved all the computers for this engine back and up top hence interfering with the lip.

We honestly have to put these out the door with 100% mercury parts for the warranties. However XR shortees would be an option as well.

What we ended up doing is building a new engine hatch. You can see the plug a few posts back. This will cure all the problems and actually make our engine hatch pads easier to build and install.

You coulda left it unedited but thanks for making it a positive note.

Pat

almost there

there.

This may be a stupid question but have you ever color matched the vinyl to the boat? That would look sweet with a red cockpit. No offense to you in previous post, I am just not a fan of red.

No, never. :party-smiley-004:

All those compartments give my wife a women boner! Great use of space! Red imop is never overdone, its the greatest color ever !:bunnydance:
The tiger design thats a joke I hope

Love the dash too.

love everthing about it.awesome

Another outstanding example of quality custom work by AT!! Heading down to the Miami show on sunday..I'll stop by and say hi Pat!

Cool!

awesome

Yea it was looking awesome until I saw the tiger. Ick.

I really like it....dont care for the paint scheme, but that is a pretty personal thing anyway.

Killer boat!!!

I'm no expert on big cats but I have never seen a Tiger with Leopard spots. :lolhit:

Kinda what I was thinking.....

Anyways I think it will be bad ass. And the new owner does too. All that matters to me!

With that paint layout you will have to do a pimp daddy cabin:evilb:

BTW
I like the pimp cabin look:lolhit:

There is an OL up here. Looks cool with the spots.

Pat Nice job. Engine room and cabin can't get much better.
I don't see a grab bar for the front seat passenger is that something that is needed.
You have come a long way.
Just think in ten or fifteen years some one will have one killer used boat.

I am pretty stoked to see the new hatch & profile. I may need one of those.

FWIW, there are at least 15, sometimes as many as 19 defined storage compartments in the cabin, depending on options (cooler, fridge, AC/Heat, microwave.) I've never seen anything that compares. Such really helps to keep things organized especially on poker runs, long trips, and such from ending up as 'cabin salad' on the floor.

This isn`t the owners previous boat is it
