Hoping to be at Supercat fest west in havasu in April.

Congrats on the badass purchase Tank!!

Thanks for the kind words brother! Hopefully I'll be adding some new content here soon. Havasu is booked for Super Cat Fest West late April. Got a dock for the show and dock party. Should be a great run. Trying to get out to see the boat prior but don't know if its going to happen. May go to the River pad (that I've posted numerous pics from in this thread) in early April, hopefully the boat isn't getting work done and will be available to run if we get out there at that time. Either way, I'll post updates.

First two things I want addressed asap is install seadeck. Thinking I'm going to do triple layer Grey top, white center and red bottom. I was actually going through this whole thread recently and I like how Steve did it in their gladiator he posted in this thread on page like 35ish. Diamond pattern. Would like to do Cig oval at the back seat floor like we did on the Cafe and "top gun" script in the cabin. Little Cig ovals at the foot rests. Also, AJ is supposed to be meeting with Adrenaline Trailers owner to schedule getting the trailer spruced up. Rob, buddy that towed it out had a local trailer shop in LOTO install disk brakes, yanking the old drums out and put on a new EOH control unit. replaced all hubs, etc. so that's all done but I'd like to have it torn down, painted, new bunks, all new LEDs with LED's added on the frame rails and under the boat, add a storage box and fabricate a new bow stop like they did on the Cafe, except I want the steps to not be as vertical as they were on the cafe, more offset for ease. I want to put Matching Seadeck on top of the fenders with Cigarette script and a seadeck pad on top of the storage box with "Running With The Devil" in the proper font.

Those are the two first tings I'm focused on. I don't know if it'll get done before april though frankly. but hopefully. We'll see. After that it's small stuff. Swap the GPS out for a glass flush unit. Add underwater lights, a depth finder, new head unit that's blue tooth capable, whatever else I find. Oh, and AJ will go through and do a full service top to bottom. And it's getting fully detailed including engines polished. Get it all dialed in. lol
