I was cracking the whip on him to get him to hurry up and finish this thing..................He usually stands around and barks orders but he actually worked tonight.
Your boat is looking nice.The console does look alittle big for her.Kind of overpowering the boats lines.Still,nice looking boat.How much room inbetween the back side of the console and motorbox?
Tarbaby,
Can't tell you how much I admire your work and work ethic. You and your crew are craftsmen for sure. How long before you uncrate that Cummins?

You are a talented man!! Don't let that high build primer get too hard, its a PIA to sand after about 5 days. Looking foward to seeing her in the water.
We have pretty much picked out a color. You will have to wait and see durring the application pics. Man this thing is gonna be real nice. ... After she is done we need to get her picture on Wileys Inlet Cam!! 4 days to Ft. Lauderdale?
The fairing compound is Alexseal as are all of the paints on this project.
I took a night off and carved pumpkins with Hannah and Mac last night. We had a blast and have the coolest Jack-o-Lantern at our house!! It was also a great time to let the aching joints and sore muscles recuperate.
As far as a scheduled completion, only time will tell. Thanks for asking, but the best answer I can give you isDrum roll please), it will be done when it gets done! We had initially hoped to finish late summer, but I guess we missed that one. The fairing board, dust masks, and determination are all that stand between us and hearing the engine run. Thanks for the kind comments, and we'll keep posting.
Sand and sand and sand.....and sand some more....Doors and frames are almost done... Custom electrical panels have been designed and will go to production soon. One day closer! Those small white dots you see, dat be dust. I should turn off my flash.
