Hey Andy. Wes just moved shops so he will post pics soon when his office is set up. I picked it up last Tuesday and it was at Larry's shop first thing Wednesday.
Motors are in along with all of the new fuel/water/oil lines. Drives will have their lowers on today(all new bearings, seals, lines,filters) and then we are just going to button stuff up.
It has taken us a little longer(mostly my fault).
If something came off that was used I made them put it back on new, so they had to order a bunch of little billet/stainless and stuff. The only bummer is I wont have a chance to paint my drives since they got a little scuffed in shipping and we still have a little more polishing of the paint.
Do you remember a story that a lady was buried with her Corvair? That will be me. This is a brand new boat. Come see me at the Nautical and we'll go for a blast. Ill be there all week.

Sounds like you just built a brand new 40' flatty! I can't wait to see it. I can only imagine the hours some of these guys have in this deal in the last couple of months. This is a pretty quick turn around, well with the owner adding things every day.
"While your there you may as well change that" I will be there all week as well, I will be staying in Parker at my house but up in Havasu most of the week.
What day are you arriving? Sounds good to me, shoot me your number and we'll get together for lunch and a run first of the week.
