5 years ago today I brought her home

Look at gas prices then !!! #fjb

Indeed, I wonder how $4.00 per gallon gas will, or is affecting the boating industry and in particular used boat prices. I am not optimistic, but lets hope gas prices begin to moderate.

We’ll definitely hurts the wallet lol. I have never in my life seen old cigs bringing the money they are currently bringing. I have seen a few flat bottoms with some minor updates bring well north of 100k this summer. Crazy I do think things will drop I don’t see how this can keep up ….

We have a cabin door entrance

I can see some light at the end of this tunnel

Some design work for the foot plates on the pods

Door trim time

So after about 8 hours of installing the the pods and the step door marking it all up and looking at for a few more hours I finally cut the entrance out. Need to find a place to make the plastic trim that goes around the door. I have down patterns of anyone had a lead. Getting some cool stuff made from the machine shop for plates and logos. Going to mock up a moter tomorrow and put in to check hatch clearing

She is looking really good at this point. For the cabin entry cutout, can you have your machine shop make something out of aluminum or steel?

I’d like to use the the polished plastic trim the factory ones use. Never want any type of steel on marine. If all else fails he can do aluminum but I’m pretty sure I can get the plastic stuff . I had it made for the boat when I had the old style door but that place went out of business.

Any updates....?

Yes been super busy lately we got a lot of little stuff done On it’s we got door rails in and working that took time to get all working nicely. I made new molds from the finished pod pieces as well so I have ones that when you make pieces require almost no post body work. They also will fit the straight bottom hulls better know that I have them all trimmed. So that took some time. I have a buddy with a Topgun that would like a set and he’s cutting his liner out as well. I will continue the updates

Dave let you borrow his molds, so you splashed them and are making parts for other people?
