yep, we brought the boat back from OK over the weekend. Really solid boat with a lot going for it. Tons of great parts and all Eric (division1) has to do is put power in, we are putting a deal together on a pair of Merc 575SCI's at the moment. The boat has some stress but nothing I'm concerned with and i spent a couple hours looking it over so far. No structural anything anywhere, it is a light layup compared to standard guns and supposedly weights 2K less then a normal gun. There is signs of work having been done here and there but looks good. This boat is not a project and will be put in service as is come this spring. Eventually its getting one of my hatches (probably the TS) a set of my dash caps and a bad azz XT interior and maybe fresh colors some day but for now its fine and does not need much. I'm really surprised it had trouble selling, just goes to show ya how silly it is to speculate without seeing it first hand is. Gonna be a wave crusher again and I'd like to give some props to Kool-Aid Man for putting together a very nice rig although i know he has not been on in some time.

Thanks Glass Dave......glad it went to a good interim home to get a freshen up and I'm looking forward to seeing it when completed. Hopefully the next guy has as much fun with it as I did.

so I just wanted to say thanks to dustin (carter 38) for selling me the boat that wasn't even for sale lol I went to okc to buy a different boat that didn't turn out to fit the build we were looking for and dustin was nice enough to sell me his.Also I know glass dave is well known on the site and in the boating world but I just wanted to say hes the most stand up guy ive meet. He always gets my boats in tip top shape and keeps me from buying junk that I usally can justify!!!!! I had a bullet he made a one of a kind boat and I had many fun seasons on it but finally made the jump to the topgun and I look forward to make it one of a kind and enjoy it as much as the last boat but in the end were all in this sport for the people we meet the beer we drink and to be able to complain when our boat is broke!! There is a lot of great people on this site and info. we will post pictures of the kool aid topgun as we progress!!
