We are all set to go today for shake down run. Got everything completed , boat is detailed and ready. Hope everyone gets theirs in soon.

Went for a quick rip down the Choptank on Sunday morning after putting 130 Gallons of fresh juice in her. Everything that was repaired on the drives held together and the engines sounded smooth. Brought her up to 71 MPH @ 4900 RPM and loved every minute of it. Couple minor things left to button up this week and then I am officially ready. Tig welding the bolster seat leg, LED install, lettering, and registration is on the list for this week.

Looking good Josh!

We got "Nauti Monkey" wet yesterday. She ran great. Finally a early season start and things are perfect. Can't wait for this summer....think we may get 100+ hrs. in this year.

what a sight for sore eyes opening that barn door.

Getting there. Just received my new cockpit carpet today![ATTACH=CONFIG]566314[/ATTACH]

nice, John! the family and i are going to plan on an LSC weekend this year, i'll have to see if you're around, would love to see the successor to the blue boat.

Nice looking carpet.
This will make some cringe, I removed mine some years ago because my dogs go swimming. When they come up the ladder, water goes every where. This way at the end of the day we just hose it down.

Where did you get this from? Need carpet for my 292!

Bought it from Matworks.com. They have a template for a 272 and I copied the bird and word from that template. There is a picture of it on their site. They now have a template for a 242 also! It is good quality. With shipping it was $450.
