Hey Mark are you bringing that thing to Desert Storm?

According to Sjogren, the boat will be coming to Desert Storm.

The boat and colors look great! Cant wait to see one in person! -Eric

Sharp boat, love the integration of the sunpad. Congrats!

I'm always jazzed to hear about a new boat, but this one is particularly satisfying because the owner really seems to appreciate what he has. You did a great job capturing his enthusiasm, Jason.

Great story and a great looking boat ! Mark congrats on it must have been a very cool project, Mark I just don't know if I would have been able to have the self control not to drive down to MTI and take a peek to see how it was coming out during the build.

How does someone who looks to be in his early 30s afford a boat of this caliber?

Thank you! I gotta tell you, it was very tough to just go off pictures and what the MTI guys were telling me on the phone. I kept asking numerous people there at MTI if they liked it and every time they told me I was going to be very happy. Honestly, the hardest part was keeping it quiet. I didn't tell anyone. Kinda made a few of my close friends mad but I wanted it to be a surprise.

Dont get me wrong , the boat is beautiful to say the least !!!!!!!! am I jealous , GOD YES , but i wonder the same thing , not to bash anybody Im 53 just wonder what people do for employment to afford these things much less ins and to operate , I am self employed any day that ends in Y , and have never financed toys in my life , people and customers heckle me enough with what I have thinking I must be rich , I say come and see me on a sunday and see what Im doing , if there is money to be made I will be in the shop doing it . maybe 1 day SORRY Mark didnt mean to get sidetracked again that boat is the ****!!!!!! , hell I loved your fountain .
