WOW WOW WOW and WOW!!! Love it!

looks wicked man

Thanks guys. The copper worked with the off white in my head but you don't know for sure til you see it with your eyes.

wow i am impressed with how quick this has gone tohether i am on summer number 3. it better be completed by the end of june at the latest. I did you enclose the fuel tank pick ups and senders? it lookes like you glassed over it?

Yeah the pickup and hoses are under the glass in the center. Just think of it as a lid that you'll probably never have to open, but if you do, you just open it with a very carefully placed hole saw.

wow! Very Nice Sir --- Any idea on how many man hours you guys have in it?

Well since about October we average prolly 3 nights a week 5:30 til 10 or 11, and 2-3 all day Saturdays a month. Usually 2 guys, sometimes just me, sometimes 4 of us. I've actually enjoyed this because this is the first offshore boat I have owned. I don't see me doing another one like this (stringers and transom) unless it's a boat that makes economic sense. These boats, although cool, neat looking, well designed, just aren't worth that much money.

So I guess about 30 hrs. a week since October, and keep in mind this after hours stuff aint near as efficient as what we do during the workday. If this were a paying customer job it would prolly take 1/4 the time. But this kind of stuff is what helps keep me sane.

Got the drives painted tonight...
