Thanks! Lots of time in making that hot rod what it was/is. I do miss the thing every now and then. Ragged Edge ( the original and only real one :D )

THIS TREAD IS FOR CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM NOTHING ELSE.

May have been caught trying to implement changes to up build quality, like maybe using resin to seal up all those transom cut outs.

Now go easy on Bill, it's my fault the "Transom Done Right" option was missed. I was so overwhelmed by the "Excitement Comes Standard" deal that I must have passed right by it.

I did get the "Paint That Blisters And Self Removes When Wet" option ( which turned out to be a good thing and motivated me to do the rather cool paint job that is "STILL" on the boat today ), the "Rotary Rack Single Cable Steering That Chits Part Way Thru The First Season" option (allows you to make your first big upgrade before you hurt yourself or someone you care about a simple decision) and the "Real Head Compartment Door In A Box Months Later" option as well. You ever figure out how to install that door Bill? I never did, probally why the factory sent it as a "Part Only Warranty", they knew it wouldn't work anyway.

Almost forgot, "The Wally World Black Plastic Deck Hatches That Chit Out On Your First Weekend Of Proud Ownership" option. The duct tape was included in the "Excitement Comes Standard" deal so we were good to go for the couple months it took to get that "Parts Only Warranty". They didn't fit in the holes either (always wondered if someone knew that would happen), but nothing myself and a real good glass guy couldn't handle on a nice sunny summer saturday afternoon while tied to the dock. We always thought the gull wing install approach was kinda cool.

Did I mention that "Excitement Comes Standard" ? :rolleyes: Stepp right up and getcha some!!!

The transom cut outs, the stringers, the balsa core in the deck, etc, etc... :mad: :mad:

I'm ready to paint the boat to look like Sponge Bob, with all the water it's sucked up!

Hey Vinny,Sponge Bob is YELLOW not Red.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
The boat is done and it is dry and solid as a rock now,now it is time to test and see what it will do without the extra 700 pounds or more and the transom not moving in and out.We will see.:D

I would like to see a small curved cockpit windshields on each side and open in the middle and don't forget to put in adjustable air vents. Like this http://powerboatmag.com/2007trials/05_07_dcb.php
