Close up shots of the crew. Still need to add hands. The head and arms rotate.

Got a pretty nice finish on the paint. After the clear coat, sanded the orange peel away, then wet sanded with 3000 and 5000 grit, used two different polishes and waxed. I reduced the file size for upload so lost some picture quality. Picture looks grainy to me.

Ran my boat at Leisure Village in Lake Wadill on Saturday 7-11. Hit 44.7mph.

If any of you guys are in the NJ shore area and want to see my boat run, let me know and I'll give you the details.

The video does not do it justice, you really need to see it in person.
