Boats are not shoe friendly!! You let people wear shoes on your beautiful boat???

I actually own a few Red LifeLines from the Skater, Nor-Tech provides a safety kit w/ every new boat so that will yield me another 5 or 6 bright orange horseshoe life vests bringing me to nearly 10 total!!:bananalove: Ultimately I'll probably invest in a few Auto Inflatables but I haven't gotten that far yet. I looked for vendors at the Miami Boat Show but didn't really find what I was after.

I can't take full credit for the overall scheme, I pulled it together from several boats I've seen over the years & in pictures online.

Helm looks awesome!

Are you trying to be like Enrique Inglesias? :evilb:

Good One!

Thats why I went w/ 2 stripes, I didn't want him suing me for copyright infringement!

You both have good taste, best of luck with the new boat.

I'm pretty late to this thread. Great job on the boat Nascat. I really like what changes you made to the front seating. And your paint scheme is one of the nicest I've seen. I will be interested in how you end up liking the Seadek after a few seasons. Hopefully it holds up as well as it looks. I noticed a small mark on my decking a few weeks back that wouldn't clean off just scrubbing it. I grabbed a small piece of 50 grit I keep on board, and very lightly scuffed off the mark. Looked like brand new 30 seconds later. Beautiful boat. Enjoy.

Thanks for the Thumbs Up, MP, as well as the 50 grit tip, just in case.

My test piece cleaned up like new w/ soft scrub but that wasn't after real life boating wear & tear. Time will tell I guess.

Congrats! looks amazing! If you ever get tired of it, it won't be hard to sell! Beautiful!

Let's hope not!

Engines mounted, Sea-Dek install & a few other custom details remain. Headed to NT to see & sea trial the weekend after Easter w/ the hopes of dragging her home the weekend after that.

A few custom options pictured here:

Since the lounger was shortened to accommodate the bow bench seating I had Nor-Tech fab up a flip up berth extension to help offset the berth depth lost.
The Garelick pedestal mount I had installed between the bow benches was to be dual purpose, accommodate a table (size & style TBD) as well as support a filler cushion. SportBoats & Nor-Tech built a matching hard backed bow bench filler cushion in house that will use a L- bracket & threaded knob to mount it. Both were concerned about the sturdiness of a filler on a pole & floor pedestal mount.

I'll get some good quality shots of the finished product during my visit.

Rumor has it the first Nor-Tech 340 w/ triple 350's ran a respectable 80+ mph.

Filler Fastening System, pretty clean & simple IMO.
