Nice job! Are those carbon fiber front seats? what's the weight on those, I'm thinking in some weight savings, mine are like 36lbs.

Ivan

The seats are Fiberglass Sparco Race Seats, Not sure the exact weight. When I get them back on Moday I can weight them.

Looking good Don. Can't wait to see her in person!!!

Thanks Cory. Its been a lot of work but it has been fun. Hopefully I can wrap it up in the next two weeks.

Started painting this weekend. A lot more to go but we are well on our way to get it done!

If you are coming to Lanier Don I look forward to seeing my lost love in person again.If you love them set them free and hopefully they will come back to you is my motto. If I don't buy a 32 DW before you I would love to rekindle our budding romance. Some Rocket Scientist wooed her and poof she was gone! Lol

Hi Bob-

We are going to Lanier! We have 3 boats going up Wednesday: Eric with his 32 Spectre, Brad with his 30 Motion and Our 30 DW.
I picked up the seats last night and had to put them into the boat along with the flooring. I can't wait to get it all installed after I paint the Dash/ Shifter Box and Sides Blue.

The Rocket Scientist comment is funny........ That would be a fun job! For now, I guess I will have to stick to Aerospace Engineering. See you in a few weeks!

Is your old Motion still in your area? I saw it pop up on ebay and was gone at 55k in 24 hours. I would love to have that cat also. Rick put the old Vicious 30 Skater copy up for sale on S&F for 25k which I thought is a screaming deal. I thought about it, but after talking to Spark she is too heavy for my style of boating.
The updates look awesome Don. I look forward to seeing you all. Rocket Scientist and Aerospace Engineering whats the diffrence? Do your rockets have wings. LOL

Hi Bob-

When I sold my Motion it went to Fort Lauderdale and has been on and off sale for a little while. It was a great boat and some days I wish I never would have sold it. Rick's boat turned out amazing and someone is going to get a unique ride.

LOL, yes we build the engines (Rockets) that bolt to the wings.

Getting closer!

Painted all the interior parts last night

Very nice Don. I look forward to seeing you and Amanda flying along in it in the not too distant future !

Bob

Keep up the good work Don. I look forward to seeing it in person.

Finally finished the boat! Was going to go for a boat ride today but it started raining. We will do the shake down tomorrow, load up Tuesday Night and leaving Wednesday Morning for Lanier!

Nice work, Don! Interior looks fantastic- love the flooring.

Killer job ..can't wait to hear your report ..

What's your thoughts on running a " canopy " boat on poker runs , and fun runs ? Is it good ? Looking at a similar boat for running poker runs .

We ran the boat for 2 seasons with the canopy on. We cut the canopy off Jan 2014 and have been running it this way since. The boat is 100% better with the canopy off. I never really understood how loud inside the cockpit is with the canopy on at slow speeds (35 to 75). visibility is also an issue with the canopy boat. We had to run a rear mounted camera to be able to see behind us.

I would not hesitate at all to buy another canopy boat. But I would cut the top off as soon as it came home.

Hope this helps
Don

The top is off , a lot like yours ..never thought of a rear firing camera

Are you looking at the 30 amt for sale?

Yes Sir ..

Looks very nice. Should be a good running boat!

Sorry if the guestions seam " stupid " , just had to ask ..want to hit a few poker runs , and a bunch of the hot spots here in FL and the SE.

No worries! That is what we are here for. Any questions let me know!

Thank you

She ran over 100 on GPS, I have some new props but have been unable to test over the past couple months. The hull is maybe a couple mph slower than a "normal" spectre hull but love the ride and the bottom work Sparky did really makes helps in the turns.
