You'll have a great summer Scott. Let me know if there is anything you need for the boat.

Come met up with us at one of the events this year.

Nice ride!! I saw it at Ocean Performance today. It looks better in person than it does in the pics. Congrats!! You should consider the Poker Run that Ocean puts on with Poker Runs America.

New Exhaust Coming
 
Thanks Fountain 40. I know the pics posted don't show the boat very well. I will post more pics when the boat in finished at Ocean Performance. Changing to straight tips and I am adding Silent Choice. Also having sirius radio added and looking into receivers and an amp.
Thanks for the post.
Scott

PS had a prior thread concerning insurance. FYI Had quotes from $2000 to $6700..... Went with a quote for $2683 from Inamar.........Hope this is a fair quote.
I noticed your new boat has a race fairing. Mine did too when built new but changed to a windshield. I have a set of never used zip-up windows made for the race fairing application for a fountain bimini top if intrested. Also included are all stainless bars. These are still in the orginal factory convas bag.

I have an 01-42 Lightning. It was sold new in 2003 and was sent back to factory to have graphics installed. The original race fairing was then replaced with the standard Lightning windshield. At that time, new zip - up windows were made for the bimini top which came with the boat. The old zip-windows (front and side curtains) stayed with boat. I've had these for three years now and have never used them. Up til recently, I did not even realize the difference between the two sets. I obviously don't need the one set. Yes, they can probably be made to fix and X style windshield because they are made to fasten to snaps at the base of the race fairing. They also include the extra stainless bracing for the top. These braces fasten to a cleat behind the windshield and have pieces that fasten between each up-right that forms the top.
