Re: Nauti Kitty
 

I am now finished with my engine room so I will get you some this weekend. I am not done however with the cabin for another couple of weeks. My goal is to have my boat done completely October 1 and then I'm going to post before and after pics of everything for anyone that cares. If you have a specific question call me. 616-437-3852 Parnell

BTW Tonto and LEOPJM have two sweet rides. NK

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

I am just a fan of these great boats and like to see what everyone has done with theres.

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

Joker has been alot of help and sort of a mentor on things to come. Some of these boats have been the inspiration, especially Tonto and Ancestral spirit

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

This is the coolest helm I have seen.

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

She's an AWSOME ride, can't wait to someday own one myself. Hopefully next summer.

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

Having ridden in this bad boy during Smoke on the Water for three consecutive days and in all types of water. I can attest that it is one of the best thought out and executed offshore cockpits that I have ever experienced.
Deep and very secure and that includes the Back Seats. which are stand up Bolsters. Parn has also made provisions for Headsets and Intercom for all stations with the front being fully duplexed. Stereo also includes Sirius Satellite which is a great thought so that even accompanying boats can listen to the same thing that you are. One other note regarding the GPS. The unit that parn has installed puts out a 6" tall reading for speed. This means that at 97.3 MPH while Cig's American Muscle was passing us on the port side I could still easily read our speed while standing in the back seat. Waaaay Cooool for the passengers.
The other observation that I would share is that the weight of this boat really makes you rethink that "lighter is Better" mentality. I believe that weight becomes a serious factor in improving the ride especially when it gets big and snotty. This boat is big, solid, and rides smooth as silk in any type of water.
Just my observations,
Best,
Rice Hauler

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

I also have riden in Parn's bad azz ride. It took everything Lake Michigan could handle at the end of DECEMBER!!! 6'+ waves at over 75 mph. What a ride!!! And it's better now than it was then.... faster is better, right????? :D

Notice that at LOTO it was tied up next to an APACHE, a boat that also hails from right here in offshore boating meca, West Michigan.

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

Here is what I got from that rig

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

Most of these I picked up here, Waterfoul and boatme took most I think.

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

Parn's my idol....well except for the goatee, the fashion, the medallion and well now that I think of it.... never mind. :D

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

Hey Parn- Who is on the HA HA call list for this weekend? Hey GLH- REMEMBER TO TURN YOUR PHONE OFF!!!!! ;) ;) ;)

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

Hey, I have phone numbers too....just who IS on the list? :drink:

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

Got it 3:17AM Jeeez

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

I was just calling to say HI and to talk to a fellow OSOer ;) ;) (it was really all Parn's fault :D I accept no blame at all :D )

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

I guess the night you made calls from my phone is to be blamed on Jose'? :drink: :drink: :drink:

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

Blame it on Sean. Ange. Always blame it on Sean ;) ;) ;)

Besides, Parn was smart enough to turn off the phone that night :D But I bet when he got his messages, he had a good giggle

Re: Nauti Kitty
 

Anyone that got THOSE messages would have had a good giggle.

And you are right, it's Sean's fault. He kept pouring the drinks after all...

Re: Nauti Kitty
