Sean, you will have to start JC up one nite ( he loves "Start Me Up" by the Stones ) a sight you never forget !!! lol lol. So what props are you thinking 3,4,5 blade ???

gotta retune for that song.. :drink:

When we originally started, John was thinking 4's, but now he seems to be leaning towards 3's, he said he wanted to pick Joey at East Coasts brain on it, and was going to talk to the boys at Accurate on their thoughts as well. His feeling is this hull doesnt need the bow lift you generally try and get from the fours.

Sean you missed out on all this ??? Perhaps next time !!! :grinser010:

There was some discussion on Friday night about having a "Club Superboat" gathering in JC's backyard this summer.......keep tuned in for developments as they occur!

Ohh man!

I bet that would be quite an "event".:grinser010: I'd love to get in on a SB get together- looks like alot of fun, guys.:drink:

We really have to get a SB fun run in this year. We could start at JC's or Tanner, run east over to Jones inlet, come back along the ocean side through Fire Island inlet, wind up in Kismet and let it go from there

It also SB 40th year in business>

Sean wow looks like your 30CC is coming along well. The build process seems like a lot of fun. Makes me wanna crack the bank an splurge. Guess i should live with the 24 i just bought an see how much I like it.
Well good look with the rest of the build!!!!!!!

Would be pretty cool if we could get 40 superboats to gather at for the 40 anniversary

T- you have to put up some pics of your new vessel....best of luck with it, did you already take delivery?

Gas line cover goes in...

Throttle pod was pulled from the mold today...as usual Rick did an amazing job...

And Rick fired up the interior lights for me on Sat....

Talked to JC just now.....lightning ET four blade is the early leader as the prop of choice

Sean,

Lights look awesome. will help when you're doin' some night fishing.


Very close now. What work is left to be done on the boat?




noli

I thought they looked pretty nice.....and if by night fishing you mean "having dinner and drinks at Kismet" then yea...lots of night fishing to be done:)

Talked to JC before on whats left, basically....

#1 Mount the Console
#2 Install the upholstery
#3 Install trim on the interior
#4 Make the back transom hatch and splash well insert
#5 Gelcoat the interior
#6 Set up the trailer

And then bring it to George and the boys at Accurate for rigging! Getting very excited, really coming together

Some shots from today...........

And some more......

looks awesome!

will there be coaming pads?







noli

I dont plan to put any in, except maybe in between the console and the seat tub

Exactly, that's where you would need it for when your crew is "fishing" :grinser010:


lol lol




noli

Sean, do you have a pic of a lightning ET 4-blade?

Noli- I dont think merc makes one...lol, I think JC and I got our signals crossed, he mentioned a name, I wrote it down, and then never looked it up. Will talk to him again today

Console is done......inside about to be gelcoated!

The Pro ET (top left in the pic) looks like the Lightning ET but in 4 blades.

How does the prices of props here compare to ones you have shopped for?

April first it goes in the water Joey is storing it till then. Then I will run it from his house to Sag harbor an rack store it for the season at ShipaShore marina. Excited but after seeing your build feel like I cheated myself by being cheap an not buying new!!!!!!

Quick question Sean being that I have blue in my interior. How difficult would it be to retro fit the blue led lights on my 24? Also are you installing a foot throtle?

Good find Noli, I just havent had time to look, they didnt have the 3 blade lightning on the merc site, but this must be the one JC was talking about...I need to pay more attention when he speaks!

Not even sure, but thanks for the site, to be honest, I really havent focused on it, JC said he would work with Accurate and figure it out, I see were the confusion came from now though, the three blade is the lightning et, and the 4 blade is the pro et, based off the lightning, amazing what you can find if you take more then three seconds to look :)

You cheated yourself when you didnt by mine :party-smiley-004::)

Best of luck, I know you will enjoy it!

Shouldnt be a problem at all, on my 24, I think there was one interior light on in the cockpit, but honestly cant remember, but it shouldnt be a problem at all

And one thing I can say is if you re thinking to buy new, you should definitly think Superboat, I honestly feel like I didnt just buy a boat but an overall experience, its been to fun for words.

JC has been great, always willing to talk boats, and very helpful, and gives you honest advice. Rick builds an amazing boat, and will answer the same questions...over, and over , and over again. Cant say enough about all of it

Inside has been gelcoated.......

worked on the console alittle, and did alot of odds andsand ends. Also gave the cockpit its second coat of gelcoat. Tomorrow it will just about be put together.

.....

....

Not much longer now Sean, soon you will move to Phase II of the build :)


Motors time !




noli

Some shots from today.......trim when in on the inside, and starboard was cut up for the transom cap, JC even drilled some holes to run rigging through in the seat base
