Steve,

Can't wait to see the glass windshield attached on your boat. That would really be awesome.

Will Skater cut the acrylic glass at the factory or is it precut from AeroMarine?

Im not 100% sure I think they come already cut. I believe its the same windshield as the 388 although I could be wrong.

is that the first one other than steves prototype that is not widened?

nasty...may just be the angle the picture was taken but looks like the cutout for the outboard is longer than the classic notch is.

LA- it's just not the super wide version like Steves or the other 338s. It's just like Dales I believe or a 308. It just has a bussel

I think its just the angle. The stern deck comes up higher farther back than the classic. The classic seems to be rounded down a bit in the stern. Can't totally tell from the pics very well.

Because the motors going on Steve's boat are so new and have some subtle differences from the others that have already been rigged, Mercury wants to be the ones to first run the boat and dial it in/prop it. This is priceless imo, and makes it well worth the additional wait. Steve, I promise you, it's all going to be worth it when you do finally get on the water in your beautiful new rig! :ernaehrung004:

I would beg for them to allow me to be around while they were testing! lol Take some time off work and gain a wealth of knowledge from the Mercury boys.

Those things are huge! I can't wait to see this boat run.

I REALLY want a 308 with outboards. I've had 2 back surgeries and #3 coming this year. I'm really concerned about getting pounded. How comfortable is the ride in 2-3 footers?

Feverz29 08-06-2015 09:25 PM

And it's all your fault Nasty and Skate watching your projects, lol.
