Your 30 will be lighter than all the 318s, so it should be faster. As busy as they are back at the factory, I wouldn't expect the build to move too quickly. I don't think they've been this busy with new boat orders since the early 2000s. Looking forward to seeing your project progress!

We hope to see it progressing as well. We have tubs full of parts here and ready. Kinetic Anamation came thru with the decals, mainly just wiring and trailer brake lines left to do. We need a boat...

Skater recommended, R&R slidemaste, 3” setback. They wanted the weight as close to the transom as possible. I am following their advise on the weight distribution and CG. The R&R’s have to be dismantled and the internals flipped 180 degrees to make the adjustment nut on the bottom, the Verado steering cylinder is in the way with the nut on top. We would always be adjusting during setup on the trailer anyway. I like how the side rails lock into each other.

About complete on the trailer, we added lumashore boat underwater lights to it. I had a tough time backing the 28 trailer into tight spots at night when traveling, these should light the way to back up.
