Thanks everyone. I really love the look and feel of the boat. It feels like a '64 Impala hot rod on the water.

Very nicely done.
I wanted to see that tow vehicle too.
Looks pretty nasty from the little you could see.
Should be a rocket with 32" pitch props if it can turn them. Any projections on top speed?
I really like the lettering too except I was planning something similar and now I have to do something different. I have almost the same paint scheme.
OH well At Least I know I had a good Idea just a little too late.LOL
The whole package looks top notch, Classic and tough looking.

The temperature peaked at 40 degrees yesterday and we were running without thermostats. We never took it over 3000 rpm. It was a little cold blooded to say the least. I have 32" Bravo 1 props on it. It moves along at a pretty good clip idling. We took it out just to make sure everything was working and nothing was leaking. It's getting winterized now and we'll resume in the spring. I was bound and determined to get it in the water one time before winter.
Can't wait to hear the news come spring time.

Ahh thats great, so now I can use the crack smokin smiley too. Awsome I am so Pshyched!!!!!
That brings the whole plan together.
That would be a great tow vehicle if the front corner wasnt missing. Theres more of it than the last picture so maybe its regenerating itself.LOL

Top kick ad looks great as well. wheres an extra 40K when you need it.
I think I'll stick with my 2003 dodge hemi for alittle while longer. although at 9 MPG I would proably $AVE money buying it.

The yellow one can be had for half that. I'd be tempted if business wasn't dropping off. It would make a lousy estimating truck though. I'd have to carry a step stool around to reach the ladders.
