I might have carried an apostrophe in the number.

Tristan has been highly involved in the design and building of the new cat and will be running it with us during some of the endurance runs and running it by herself some so posting stuff on her is not derailing the thread.

Here is the video of Tristan running the OSS lake race, She does a pretty good job on smooth entry and exit from the turns hugging the corner markers. I told her to leave a little over a boat width to the markers incase a fast cat was running up on us trying to make the corners.

Tristan getting the physical to race in the lake race. Tristan and I had the lowest blood pressure and heart rate of every racer they checked.

Tristan putting new safety chains on Jim's 28 skater trailer, installing a new jack, and washing the carpets. Then putting on a new Skater sticker on the V-bottom. Tristan driving double take 46 Skater, and Freedom 46 Skater, and shooting a gun but she is wearing a Skater shirt...

We can paint it at the Active Thunder Factory in Pompano if you want; done a few F650s and the like before. Pat Haughey also owns and operates a BMW & MB certified autobody shop next door to AT. Let me know if you want to dig a little deeper.

But perhaps, for the first go around until you KNOW you love the truck long term...
...leave it white, but wrap the aft 25-33% of the truck, to tie into the boat's colors. That way it's easy to go back to white in case of resale. You could also easily add and remove sponsor and or team name graphics into the graphics wrap, or on the box or rest of the truck that way too, without worry about your fresh paint.

I too looked into having a full wrap done on my truck (F-350), but had the whole thing taken apart and painted (satin black).

Peter the owner of Skaters birthday was today so I got him a birthday cake. I was not sure his age but since he has been building boats for longer then all the other Performace boat builders put together I just guessed on his age. I'm pretty sure he did the layup schedule on Ferdinand Magellan's boat.

Appears that No job is too Big nor too small for your Co-Captain and that's a rare find!

Happy Birthday Pete!
