Got some progress pictures

John,
The polished Diamond plate and the Stainless Battery boxes look awesome.

I love the burgers at Toomies.

JC put in trim pump and some other stuff and engine is out of the box

A new seat frame is out of mold and ready for covering, JC needs to hurry-up and get the other frame together to get the apolstery completed

the new gps ant. does not fit in back next to engine cover so put it under wind screen, also have the other diamond plate for starboard ready to install and some stainless steel battery boxes that are not to cool but functional

Stainless is the way to go. It seems like painted and powder coated stuff lasts only 2-3 years before starting to peal.

Your boat is going to be one sweet machine!:drink:

How do you sleep at night with the anticipation? This boat is going to be awesome. Are you going to add any colour to the hull later?

Yes Pat I agree everything stainless... JC just put a pvc stearn light base mount in and I am now searching for one in stainless... I told him everything top of the line stainless... JC cant get over the waste of money on some things that are just for looks... Freshwater - yes, waiting is a problem, I have always had a boat in the spring, this is my favorite time on Fire Island and the Bay before the crowds get there... JC tried to get a deposit out of me earlier but I was not financially prepared so I must wait... Color for now is just Pure White hull and deck with black wind screens and black air scoop (like in the pictures) I think I like the lines on the boat and will try it like this for now, I do have ideas about mabey adding some airbrushing... Just need to find a starving airbrush artist...

Ran into JC at the establishment last night and he still defends and he may have a point that the white pvc stearn light is better because it blends in with the back of the boat??? less seeing is better???
