After running her in some decent water for the first time I quickly realized I couldn't have been more wrong. The boat just flew level and landed right in the big water. We loved seeing Cafe's and Top Guns give us a thumbs up when we were running with them. The boat just surprised people.

I had actually commissioned Carter to redo the interior in the 28 this winter. We had planned to keep her for a few more years. Then the Bullet deal fell in our lap and things kind of snow balled from there.

Here's a couple of pics of the old girl running. I have lots of pics of this boat we took over the last three years.

First pic credit goes to Heather Fink photography out of Grove, OK.

Lots of great memories on that boat. I'd put this pirate up against any rope jockey out there. Her and her sister make my life so much easier when we tie up. They know what to do and when to do it.

Yea man, see? Seeing those pics just re confirmed my original feelings on that little 28....just a sweet ride. Looks a lot bigger too. Great pic of your daughter. Can't wait til the boys get just a little older so we can buy our next boat.

Sucks you sold the 28 but when you look at what you moved up to its a no brainer.

Congrats again man.

Much, much respect for what you've accomplished with this boat! It's great to see someone doing exactly what they should be doing.

Pretty mundane question but what is the coating you used on the intake manifold and who did it for you?

Hope you have a great upcoming season!

Sorry man. Still in a holding pattern. Boat was supposed to be at upholstery shop on Tuesday of this week. The Midwest weather hasn't cooperated with us. Just got a message today saying she was being delivered first thing tomorrow morning for upholstery work. Until they start ending me pics I don't have anything new to post.

Flame away if needed. :)

Maybe we can con Carter into posting some teaser pics of some goodies he might be adding to it when he gets it.

Here you on the weather. It's snowed 3 times in 3 weeks in south louisiana. Been living through your build to get mine done lol.

Ditto what you said with the weather and watching your build. I keep looking at yours to kill the time between stages of ours. :) My wife says I need a life.

I'll call the interior guy first of the week and see if I can squeeze some teaser pics out of him.

I managed to dig something up. It's not much, but it's all I have.

Here's a before and after pic of the transom after Vincent worked his magic. We removed the air lines, thru hull fittings, and the water line for the speedo. Had all of those holes filled. The cheesy name has since been removed for good.

We have talked about cutting the round holes to match the The vents in the back. Small minor details but may make it look better the seeing the round through the slots.
