It took me nearly 160hrs to rig mine. The difference is that I had already done it once, okay fine... twice. Everything had already been made, hoses, brackets, fittings located, hardware planned, and I didnt have to test fit, then paint/powdercoat and reinstall.

Needless to say, im tired of working on it and ready to use it.

I feel your pain. Derebery's crew has done a great job, I told them when we started I wanted it nice and they have stepped up to the plate. Grandpaw always told me, " Son it cost alot to go fast, just how fast do you want to go?" I just wonder how many times they crawled in and out of this thing. I'm guessing a bunch. When we fired the engine, the coffee in my coffee cup made some really nice cam ripples.

Now that's a thought. I wonder what the cost would be to go to Velocity with my hardware and put it in a new boat would be?

I broke down and bought us a brand new triple axel aluminum 15K LB. Myco trailer to haul the hardware on. My other trailer is nice but has no brakes so I thought this would be a little more insurance for me. My old trailer is a 2007 34' 10K triple axel aluminum if someone needs something to haul their boat close to the water. My trailer is sold.

Matt, I take that as a compliment coming from you my friend. Like Grandpaw always said, "Son, It only cost a little more to go first class, you just can't stay as long". I told Leon today I'm broke, he is going to raise an eyebrow when this shows up in his yard. Heee!

Default 1st on the list

OK i want to be first on the list. What list? The list of people that will be in line for this boat when you deside to sell her. No matter how long from now that may be.
