Pic of the stern and one of the toe piece that goes underneath the dash. Pic shows wood coring removed which has now been replaced with a core cell foam and re-glassed. more pics to come.

Update: Only a couple more things to do and she is heading to Lip-Ship on the 25th of this month to be finished.

Is this the one from Connecticut that had not been run in a couple years?

If it is I missed buying it by a couple days. took too long to pull the trigger. I have been trying to find it since. I'm glad it found a good home. Looking really nice.

that boat is sick... very nice build, very nice choice of power... when I talked to lip-ship I heard a slick 20 project was going to be rolling thro his shop for finishing toward the end of the month, this must be the boat & I can see why I was told about it...

cool boat...

who's doing the paint... have you gotten one or two layouts for the paint yet?

What tabs are u using? I just bought some new Merc 280s and now i am wondering if i should of got the longer ones. I have noticed that Lipship uses the longer tabs on all of the 20's that i have seen.

380s is what he is using.

I am using the 380s. Harold is going to paint the boat.

Here is a pic of the toe piece finished

Just the pure fact that they are 10" longer would it be a noticably different advantage over the 280s? Thanks in advance. I am wondering if i made a huge mistake?

lookin sweet D, cant wait to see the finished product.

I will be leaving this thursday to head to Phil's to drop off my 20. Couple pics as I was switching to my good Manning trailer. I had the boat on a work trailer before.

Loaded, ready for motor to go in for the trip.

V10 is in and ready to shrink wrap.

Cover plate I made for access to the fuses on the front of the motor. This will be covered by the back seat but I still wanted it to look good and be rugged in case I pull the seat up.

Looks great!

do you have a rendering of the paint or will you save for the unveiling?

Who did your trailer D?

Ron Manning built the trailer. It is total overkill but it came out nice. Has electric over hydraulic disk brakes on both axles and torsion suspension.

I do not have any paint renderings yet.

How long does Phil need it before completion?

Boat looks great Ktron! I can't wait to see what LipShip does with it.

Thanks. I can't wait to get her back. I dropped her off at Phil's yesterday and they will be starting work in the next week or two. I am hoping to have it back in June or possibly a little sooner. I will post more pics as I get them.

Darren,
I will be at Phil's next week and will check it out.

That should be outlawed!! Absolutely gonna be gorgeous!!!

PM, let me know what you think.

I'm looking forward to seeing that bad boy at LOTO in September!

You got it!

Update: engine is out of the boat and the engine compartment is all sanded and ready for Awlgrip. Once that is done rigging will begin. New windshield has been fit checked and looks mint! Will have a couple pics coming soon.

Can't wait to see it!

I am really wishing i never sold mine.

You can buy mine for a good price, and be one of the fastest & cleanest out there! :cool:

couple new pics. Awlgrip is done and trim pumps are in and final rigging has started.

Boat is going to paint very shortly. Here is a pic of the dash layout.

I glassed some drop vents into the hatch on each side. Very similar to the ones that are in the 39's. I thought they would look cool. I had my sheetmetal guys punch and bend some stainless vent grills for them.

Looking great Darren!

Man, I hope you'll still have it by June! http://smiliesftw.com/x/eek5oopsie__________.gif

Just playing man, all of the extra time will be worth it once it's finished! http://smiliesftw.com/x/cool.gif

Nice!!. You keeping the windshield?

Thanks Blee! I was a bit optimistic but I think next June is a safe bet:drink:

Thanks! Yea, Philly had a new one made using the old one as a template. I decided to keep it's original look. I think he said that the guy that he goes to now is the son of the guy who made the original ones for Cig back in the day.

Looks great D, like the screens, I may need you to make a couple similar for me. :)

let me know

Boat is @ Harold's shop. Here is the rendering. The colors are Silver prazmatic, grey, black and orange.
