I have to chuckle a little everytime there is a pic with someone in it, gives some perspective of how big it is. Wow! The leaning post and rigging station look a little small but I guess I could work with it.

Verrry nice. Looks like good weather for a splash too, bonus! Enjoy!

One question.

The seats in front of the console that open upwards... are those insulated? Seems like they'll hold a ton of ice.

Yes they are, on one side I put a freezer plate in. Their is enough room to pack Thanksgiving dinner into the multipurpose insulated storage area under the "chaise lounges" one the front.

Just imagine a dog with it's head hanging out of the window at 50 mph and you have a pretty good visual of the ride home. My wife knows to have towels handy for wiping up the slobber as soon as I pull in. That won't hurt the finish will it?

After seeing the scuba tank racks, I will now admit that the boat has everything........ WOW..

You need to pay someone to break it in, the temptation to hit the pins may be stronger than you...

Congrats

Detour,

Will this boat be at the Miami Boat Show as a demo? I'd love to check it out. It looks incredible.

I have to agree with everyone else on here regarding the boat...she is simply awesome. I want to thank you for exposing yourself and your boat for us as well...not everyone has the balls to and it's been a pleasure (mostly anyway) reading about the process and seeing the pics. Unfortunately on these public forums you have people who get a little more bold than normal because of the perceived anonymity and want to try and ruin it. From your responses you show how much of a gentleman you are, and you set a great example for the rest of the people on here.

Lastly, would like to wish you congratulations and good luck with the boat and the rest of your dealings.

Just read the whole thread and thank you, the next best thing to having a new boat built or re rigged for yourself is watching someone elses come together. Nothing and I mean nothing ( if you love boats the way most of us do on this site) gets the juices flowing like trying to create YOUR perfect boat. In addition, you sir are a class act (and a better man than me), your handeling of the jerks who's only real issue is jealously shows just how above them you are and I don't mean financially. It's a stunning rig, enjoy it AND DON'T LET ANY TINY IMPERFECTION MAKE YOU CRAZY.....believe me, I relate to you, it's a BOAT enjoy the damn thing !
