I had it made- a local company called RBI designed and built it for me, in my opinion it makes the boat- or at least updates it a little bit. As far as my boat is concerned- I haven't even looked at it for a month, and I really don't have a good excuse.
My motivation is at a all time low

If you don't mind me asking what did it cost you? It's fiberglass right?

No Motivation! Is the boat running OK? Must be almost winter time up there!

I am already preparing myself for having to wear my snowmobile suit when I sea trial mine!

If I had a fleet of NODICs to play with I mite lose intrest in mine too

I don't remember exactly- I do remember thinking it was expensive, but everything on the boat has been that way Also its made out of Aluminum- not fiberglass. I want to say somewhere around $2500 with paint.

The boat runs wicked- thats not the problem. The problem is all the stupid little $hit you have to do to make it right. The main headache is the leaking from the transom- I have to pull both engines back out to reseal the exhaust donut in the transoms, and I am not too excited about it. I did however get the rear hatch pad done, I will shoot some photos and post them because it turned out really good. I have to give my mom a lot of credit- because she is the one who did it!!

Didn't happen- turns out my partner did not want a partner. So I just have my old Scarab. Looking at the world right now, I am beginning to think thats not a bad thing

I've had both of my engines out a couple times each since I finished my project...You can get pretty good at it with practice

Is the market getting better on older boats yet? Lately looking at all the usual places things seem to be starting to sell again- or is it just wishful thinking on my part?

did you see the first fountain thread? 1981 fountain (first one made) selling for 510,000

look on Shoguns website

So maybe I need to market mine as the first one made that year
