I couldn't agree more. Sean did good. That boat will always have a special place with me. Funny, when we bought the boat I felt like we were settling on a boat due to what we could afford. 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.

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.

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.
