Yes which is why I am always interested in seeing the bare lamination inside the boats that are being built today.
Just look how excited Glass Dave got when he saw pics of the deck posted.

We live for stuff like that.

It looks like Bondo got a great piece, but would love to see more of it...

Yes, the boat got it's first in-water test today. I would have loved to have been there, but my shop is much too busy right now. Everything went better then expected. They didn't run the boat hard at all. Today was more of a check and recheck day. They had to adjust the water pick-up initially, but that was minor. It jumped right up on plane and ran up to 90 mph effortlessly with plenty left. A little more double checking of everything, and it's off to Wilson Custom Marine Wednesday or Thursday. Mark is going to play with drive heights and set-up, then blueprint the lowers. I would think we should have a good number by the end of next week.

Just an FYI, Someone posted somewhere that I am an investor. I'm not an investor in the company, just a customer, a really Happy Customer.

Great to see it get wet!

I would love to see a side profile shot about 50 ft off the dock with that nice blue water!

Looks even better out in the sunlight! I sure hope that isn't your trailer for that nice new boat.
