Washed the boat yesterday, to get the road trip off of it. It’s a big boat to wash. Takes longer than the Cigarette.

Looking good Jim. I thought the same thing about the weight difference from the old tank proof shell and new shell. When they added the high density foam she got heavy! Thanks for posting pictures. I wish I was there helping rather than moving!

Lots of work on a completely bare hull, but getting closer.

Nice Work! What are those Mercury fuel filters - wires from the bottom? Nice decals for components! Are they vinyl?

OK, The motors have them built-in. How are they connected to Smart Craft?

The newer 400 has the filters moved from the engine to the boat for some European fire rating. The harness goes back to the engine and into the smart craft system. I moved (graduated) to the front now.
