That is an Ilmor jig by the way. Not the same as a #6 jig.

Even though its a 6 plate, just wondered if there out there somewhere. Keep up the great work, should be another impressive build.

Definitely our jig. Works great

We were very impressed with the Ilmors and the performance combined with the weight savings helped make our choice for this build. This boat has very specific Art and Color flows, Ilmor also custom painted everything. Great group of People.

Depends on the Project of course, but this boat is Fineline.

I saw this boat before it shipped up north for the paint. Today I had the opportunity to see the finished product.....Yes, it is as good as everyone says. Even the underside of the hatch is a work of art. Well done but not overly done, very tasteful.

So pleased to see my old friend so excited again as he is building this boat. Bob really has a passion that has only grown with the passage of time. The ultimate owner of this boat is really going to own a work of art, as far as the rigging job goes too.

Looking forward to seeing the numbers once it is dialed in and running in real ocean conditions.
