Congratulation's and thanks again for the build thread! We get to live vicariously through your build. Superstitious thank you for your build thread also. I hope to see both of your new rides in person at some point in the not to distant future.

Probably the hardest decision was the bustle design. I had one thing in mind, the wife had another. (imagine that) So we decided on this style, since we both liked it. Skater will literally build you ANY bustle you desire. The interesting part is that the flat deck material extends beyond the end of the hull to form the top of the bustle. They also include tunnel extension into the bustle design. This is on a 388. Another custom option we are having done is a way to hold an umbrella stationary. Arizona sun demands a way to get out of it somehow.

I was promised I'd have the boat for DS 2020. So my guess would be end of March.

Amazing how clean the inside of that hull is, you are building my dreamboat Although I think I will have to settle for a used one in a few more years.

That is my personal fav design from them however me and the better half are also water rats so the ease of getting in and out of the boat from the water is a big deal to us.

Same for us. The bottom step will also allow side by comfortable seating for 2.
