Great info as always NasCat.
They need to pay you a consulting fee from the factory. I think I’ve asked more questions and received more great answers from you than Nor-Tech and Evolution combined.

Bubba- I don't believe so b/c the 23,120 lb ticket is w/ a dually but that's not to say it won't be close.
If you take the lighter of the 2 boat trailer combos (14,120) & subtract from the 390 weight of 15,750 I was given it's a diff of 1630 lbs.
Add 1630 to my GVWR of 23,120 for the the 340 & dually & it totals 24,750
I always weigh the boat full of water & 1/2 fuel so those are things I could adjust in order to lower my GVWR when taking a road trip.

I appreciate the kind words, lets just say I'm a pay it forward guy who is slightly detail oriented.

The first step towards recovery is acknowledging we have an issue Ron, LOL.

Rigging completes this week then off to paint.
Thank you Matt, TJ & Paul for the 1 on 1 time you spent w/ me today to review the remainder of my build.
Time well spent IMO.

Looks awesome!!! I'll be down there in a few days to start my build process. Maybe I'll get to see it up close! Sweet color combo too!
I'm leaning towards matting (satin finish) the under portion of the Top. My concern is how the glossy tubing will blend with the matte finish.
Also is that FLIR or thermal?

I selected the matte or black satin finish for both the underside of my top as well as the powder coating. It’s not a perfect match but neither are shiny. I’d say the underside of the top (same as dash top) are closer to a flat black finish.

Yes thats a Flir mounted upsidedown under the top. Does not interfere w/ my line of sight at all. I think it looks cleaner.

Boat will most likely be back out on the shop floor for upholstery & electronics install.

If if you look at my Avatar that’s the actual paint scheme. What you see pictured is the black gel Hull w/ a white gel deck. If you opt for a black bottom the entire hull is shot in black.
