Larry,

I stopped by BC yesterday. Your boat looks AMAZING! I have been able to observe some of the process as they did the conversion. The way Chris has it setup, there is no doubt that it's a great fit on anything from a 28' to a 46'. And not just skaters, or even cats. He is doing a wrap around conversion on my friends 47 Fountain right now also.. I tell you what, that brought the boat right up to date when it comes to visual appeal.

Noli: Chris had the receiver cut on a CNC router at AllRoute here in Michigan. Him and his team built the tooling at boat customs using those plugs. This entire setup was developed by boat customs. it's not a splash or copy of anybody else.

I've sat behind a lot of wrap around windshields in Skaters.. The glass he is using is optically superior. no distortion in the curve. Skaters glass is nice, don't get me wrong.. Just saying that Jimmy Lee knows what he's doing when it comes to curved glass.

Tom

To heck with a classic deck and wrap around. I say cut the deck off and do a flat deck. I would be very interested in this project this next winter!

Yes, Jim's 28 is a classic deck, mines a flat deck. As far as converting one to a flat deck I'm sure he could and would love to do one, he's got a great laminator and vacuum bags everything. That would be a cool project for sure.
