Yeah, agree with leaving a decent amount of white.

Awesome Thread. Great Photos. Thanks For posting, Sharing

Stunning so far....WOW!

First off, the boat looks amazing! The color combo popping off the white is great and the transom is perfect touch!

Second, your new Myco trailer has got me stoked about my trailer I have on order! It looks great. I also put the led up lighting on mine.

Wow, I have to admit. I'm really not into some of these wild paint jobs on these boats. I like more classy and sedate. But, this is awsome! It is both classy and wild at the same time! Great job!

Wow, that is gorgeous! Congrats on a beautiful build!

OMG, that motor is like art!

them drives are close! I must've missed it, but I'm guessing staggered motors

keep the pics coming

.

also because of the distance of the motors from the transom, the exhaust pipes can come close together at the transom

really like that setup

Went with both. Sea deck is now standard on all Cigarette models. We added a red cockpit and cabin carpet inserts.

This boat would be perfect for island hopping in the Bahamas, and beyond . . .

Beautiful boat!

Getting close
 

Delivery next week. 118-120 mph in 1100 mode 128-130 mph in 1350 mode. Not bad for a heavy Vee.

Is Bud doing the shake down run's

Wow even the transom is a work of art on this thing. I can't wait to see your new baby at the lake.

Yes sir. We trust in Bud!

Such a great guy to work with and good person in general.

What a great job to have, he's been the test pilot for a long time

The best. You never hear him talk about pushing limits or squeezing the last mph out of the equipment. He always leans in on a safe boating experience, I sincerely respect this. This is most likely why others have come and gone and Bud keeps pumping out the best product on the market.

I will always remember a conversation I had with Bud when we bought our 2015 42X. He sensed I was a little nervous with the acceleration and speed on the test ride. His comments back to me were priceless "Gary, just because the boat is capable of tremendous speeds doesn't mean you have to drive it that way". He further suggested "look at the expression on your passengers faces, if they're smiling your driving good if not slow down". Words of advise I choose to live by.

X2, Bud's the best!

Such a nice boat. Can't wait to see some more of this bad boy.
