Hey guys got some pics of one of the side panels for my boat today. Think it also came out really good. The name of the interior builder is in the access panel/hole in the panel. They are the ones who did the rear seats and are probably working on the front seats as we speak. I think they have done awesome work up to this point and Im sure the front seats will be awesome. They are very easy to work with and also had a great feel of what works and doesn't work. Gave me computer renderings which is extremely helpful over and over again until we got it right.

Hey everybody, Mercury stayed true to their word. Big thank you to them for doing that. My motors are at the Skater factory before the end of the month. Getting mounted tomorrow. Should have some pics later in the day Wednesday. Totally psyched.

Yea Pre, Take some pics once again. For those of you who still worry about me killing myself I have a friend coming to visit me for a few days to show me a few tricks and the ropes. Dale Rayzor is gonna make the trek East with his girlfriend to stay over for a visit. Hopefully the weather cooperates and the boat gets here on time. Seems like its falling into place very well.

Yea Everybody has been awesome here. Im sure there are a dozen people at least here that would have flown to me for some help with schooling. Not just that, the info, interest, and actual feeling of concern is great too. Once again thanx to all for everything to date. It has been a great experience for me. Its great to have someplace to share your experience all the way around feelings included. Probably would have burst and Im sure my girl and my friends would be very tired of listening to me by now.Ha. You guys are the best. Steve.

Lisa and I are really looking forward to flying back next month Steve..........it's always a good time getting together with long-distance friends for boating! Can't wait to see your beautiful new rig in person also, you're going to love driving it! I'm certain it will have the same wonderful manners as the standard width 30' w/ 300XSs on the back - only with the power it wants/needs hanging off the transom!

Couple pics of motors at Skater. Pete is gonna have mounting plates made for the transom where the extension brackets will be attached. Keeps the finished part of the boat safe from wear I would imagine.[ATTACH=CONFIG]543629[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]543630[/ATTACH]
