Well as with anything I have a real job too and the clinic took priority this week. I plan to try to get to the water this weekend for a shake down run. The electronic switching system and stereo are working flawlessly. Some issues with heads up display requiring new cables and I also have to configure the new vessel views. I'll try to get photos up as well. Jason is also doing an update article for SOTW soon. After that I'll post all the build photos I have as well. Have a fun safe weekend Skater Brothers!

Well fueled and ready for first run tomorrow. Smartcraft vessel views still have not been programmed. Looks pretty straight forward. I'm going to attempted to set it up myself. I may have to call uncle and visit my local master mercury mechanic. Anyone ever boot up a vessel view for the firs time??

You my friend have spent enough of my money. I can't believe my wife is still speaking to me! I've worked out a deal with the UPS guy to drop my parts into the back of my truck before she can find them in the office!!
If I would change one thing with all the bling and bad a$$ look is a steering wheel upgrade!! 
JMO always love to spend other peoples money!

Mission Accomplished! Chris Mills and crew knocked it out of the park!
After working out a few issues, port engine would not prime of all things. We got her up and running! Three couples on maiden voyage my best friends. Windshield worked great visibility and access much improved. It started raining hard within five minutes of hitting the water. I'll clean her up and get some photos on after Jason and Chris do their article.
