Thanks all - still smiling! I am sooooo pleased. Read also my post on data points for safe trailering hints!!

Answers to questions:

OH-ZONE: Graphics cost: $1550 total and took 7 hours to apply - they cut over a hundered pieces, airbrushed the name and then covered those in clear - really awesome work. Me and the graphics guy did all the design. 5 year warranty with expected life up to 12 yrs (8 is typical)!

Dave M - the hatch cover is hard, may pad it next year, as long as it's hard fiberglass, girls must wear thongs to keep from sliding ;).

Bajababi - thanks - keep watching the posts for updates - Texas has a lot of boating season yet!

FX-10, what can I say - thanks again, but I need some (minor) gel repair - see my other post on data points. Will call JC.

Christian Gott - Thanks for helping us out up there - your boat is awesome, don't ever play it down!! She's a beaut!

Pat M- I tried to reach you this past weekend but couldn't, I know you were tied up with the family stuff, but please let me know if you get here with some time again, and that goes for any other SB'ers!

PS - FX-10; Let JC know I contacted the guy in Arlington Tx that is interested in a SB, he is going to come take a ride in the next few weeks, so I'll try to sell him!!!!

Thanks Keith..
There is, however, nothing like the smell of fresh fibreglass.
BTW...you guys took a bunch of pics, any of the group running?

krakmeup, one more question, do you find that the black canopy's are to hot to the touch if you touch them with bare skin? I figure being in Texas, your the one to ask, cause I do like the way they look. And thank you for sharing with us on what you spent on the graphics. They look WAY COOL with the boats in the water.

She is a Beauty Krakmeup! :D
I think you made a great decision going with all white gel.
The graphics look great and you can change things up every few years.

Sorry I missed your call Keith, I didn't bring my cell...
It was a world-wind trip: We flew into Houston Friday night, my little sis got married Saturday night, we cleaned up Sunday, and flew back to Hartford Monday morning. :drink:

A shot of Kelly and I...
She's a Texas babe :cool:

Re: First Splash - One Happy SB Owner
 

Hey Krak I am a little late but that is one sweet@$$ boat :cool:

Glad you can enjoy yours, I am still dealing with my mess :mad:

Best of luck and I will be looking for the shark on Clear Lake :drink:

Re: First Splash - One Happy SB Owner
 

Cool!! Glad to see you posting!

BTW - Second fuel tank, 2.5 mpg under heavy use again, per the GPS - AWSOME.

Did not get WOT runs in while empty - will do that in the next few weeks (damn, it takes a while to burn up 80-100 gallons! LOL)

Re: First Splash - One Happy SB Owner
 

80-100gallons? I'll suck that tank dry in 3 hrs. Come on Krak...stop *****footing around :D :D :D
