Nice Sam, Guess its in paint? I think. Im kinda stupid when it comes to all the processes of a build but it looks like thats what it could have something to do with. Cant wait to see the final product. Bet its gonna be awesome. Steve.

I'll be up there this next weekend and I can check it out. You guys might need to remind me as it will be a busy trip!

I'm going no rub rail. I hate being impractical but it's not a good look with the flat deck. I've only seen one flat deck with a partial rub rail and I was not a fan. I'll just have to have a good crew and lots of bumpers.

I figured you would delete the rub rail. I absolutely love the slick look with no rub rail. I thought about doing it like Erik did, since mine is off. With my docking crew, I MUST have a rub rail.

Hats off to Ron Muller of Electronics Unlimited for supplying and setting up my CZone system, Garmin 7610, Vessel View 7's, and Fusion B 300 black box head unit. He advised me on the system and EU provided a blue print for the electrical system of the boat. He was also ready willing and able 24/7 for wiring questions and didn't make me feel incompetent when answering the stupid questions. I cannot recommend him high enough. He is to electrons what Brad Smith was to engines.

Craig with Appearance Products has the upholstery 95% completed and is putting the binding on the carpet.

The Windshield is on site provided by Jim Lee of Lee Aerospace. He had to retool to make the wider version for my application. It will also fit the larger wide body Skaters.

I'm headed home from Boat Customs and will give you some updated photos on our progress after I get my photos downloaded off my camera. We are doing the final body work and have all pre-rigged all of the electronics and windshield to expedite the completion. It's starting to look like a boat again!

Chris and crew have been putting in some very long hours. I'll give them a day off in a few weeks!

You guys a Tickfaw be safe have fun and remember the sunscreen!

Sam
Thanks for the kind words! Nothing I wouldn't do help a fellow Skater brother! I am happy to help and look forward to your project coming together. You are a class act also and it has been a pleasure living my new project through you LOL!
