It was fun at the show talking about this boat with Fred from Mercury and Skip at Cig.
These guys do this all day long and it was cool to see the excitment in their eyes when they talked about this boat with those motors.
When we do the Thousand Islands run, wait for me at the lunch stop!

Yeah, I think you may be right. A number of people here don't think my first pass color combination is standout at all. They are probably right, I will ask Hunter to employ some reds in the design. Thanks!

Great combo of 39 and 1100.
I'd also recomend a bolster set up for the back bench. Cig could make it look really trick. I'd suggest more bulkheads and maybe a covergirl cabin. The speeds you are going to be doing on a regular basis will take a toll on the hull. Now if you're just runing rivers I'd say don't worry about it. Otherwise the boat is going to need more reinforcing. Also have them through bolt the rub rail with nylocks, this way its not constantly coming loose. The difference from 100 to 130 is going to create a lot of extra force on the boat. Also there seems to be a ton of red boats out there. They all seem to look the same to me. I like your original paint scheme idea but maybe a touch of red.
Just my 2 cents.
