Cabin interior begins....

Dude! Sweet! 12-07-2007 10:53 AM

In the smaller photo, that spray gun looked kinda like a tap head for a keg... I was like DAMN! I think I need to get me one of those Jokers! ballast tank by Budwiser!

THEJOKER 12-07-2007 11:01 AM

Notice hull and deck glassed together. Notice bed serves as support and strength. Notice boat is built to take abuse!

Jigsaw89 12-07-2007 02:44 PM

Very Nice! Definitely keep up with the progress pics.

DirtyMoney 12-07-2007 06:54 PM

New cabin interior is just about complete. This is our 1st full blown pleasure version. All the racing background now with a touch of class!

RumRunner 12-24-2007 09:10 AM

Yo Brian,

She's looking good!

Updated pics. The best 28 we've built and seriously for sale. I would make somebody a smoking deal , especially if they boated on Lake Lanier or close by. We also have a brand new Tyler Crockett 700 efi for sale.

mcraymond3 01-03-2008 07:40 PM

Awesome! That's the best looking 28fter I have ever seen! We did the Lake Lanier Poker run in 06. Where you there?

CMC 01-03-2008 08:09 PM

Brian, If one were to drop a 496 in there, would you still need the scoop. I'm thinking a sun pad for the OL would work better. Also, what kind of speed with 425 HP ?

P.S. The whole thing came out sweet !:cool-smiley-011:

Once again thanks again for the compliments , it means alot to me and David (genious).

CMC:

When I ran F1 w/ a 500 efi the boat ran 79 mph at 4625lbs. I've never had a 496 in our 28 but I would think middle 70's as far as speed. I always put the scoops on because the bigger motors always needed air and plus they look cool. We can certainly build engine hatches without the scoop.

Mat:

The last Poker Run I did on Lanier was 2002 in the TG. Thanks for all you've done for me!

jayhawk261 01-03-2008 09:08 PM

What do you think it would run with 501 crankshaft hp and prepped as it sits with full cabin?

Can you PM me a number for the boat?

Jigsaw89 01-04-2008 07:12 AM

Looks great! The no nonsense bow design & interior look real sharp. Is there going to be some type of wind screen installed?

She came out great!:Score-101010:
How about a sun pad that goes around the scoop?
I think that would finish her off nicely...

Yep that will be done next. The hatch is inlayed so the pad will not stick up in the air. Thanks!

Flowery Branch. 5 hours and waiting!

rsmyq9 01-09-2008 08:05 PM

Boat make it to Flowery Branch?

Any way to see it while it's there?

Yep...call me next week 770-560-3747 Brian

rsmyq9 01-18-2008 07:01 PM

Wow!
 
I don't really know what else to say about the boat. Stopped by Brian's to check the 28 out and all I can say is wow! Very clean boat and very nice lines. You can't truly appreciate the beauty of the boat from the pictures.

If only I were a few more years into my career, I'd be on that thing like white on rice...... perhaps I'll get lucky a bit down the road and be able to have Brian build me one!

Brian, thanks again for letting me crawl around on the boat. Looking forward to seeing the shop once you get completely set up in the next couple of months.

Plenty!

jeff32 02-01-2008 10:09 PM

Joker. Can you tell me how many man hours of work goes in building a boat from scratch? not making the mold and stuff like that, just laying up the boat and bring it to be finished and ready to hit the water? 1000 hours?

THEJOKER 02-02-2008 10:32 PM

1000 hours would be on the high side. Lot's of hard work!

Captain_Larry 02-21-2008 02:33 PM

Hey Brian, send me some photos. The Emeralcoast ABWA Poker Run is coming up in the first part of May. I'll sell her and you can start over!

Elite Marine 03-03-2008 08:47 PM

Any updates?

rsmyq9 03-08-2008 04:55 PM

Hey Brian,
Did you ever get the new shop set up in GA? I'd like to stop by sometime to check it out.

Ryan

THEJOKER 03-08-2008 10:01 PM

All molds are here in Ga and the shop will soon be ready. The new 41 is being tooled up in NC. That project starts next week. Good things on the horizon!

AIR TIME 04-08-2008 08:41 PM
