In the water finally! :) Made it for the Columbus Day mayhem off Elliot Key. :) It's not quite finished (who needs a rub rail), but looking, sounding and running great. :) Would like to get it 'fully finished' by the end of the year.
For those of you who remember way back (WAY BACK) when I started this project, it seemed like the day would never actually come.
Thanks to everybody who offered good advise and/or helped out.:yes:
I'm on the road and only have one pic, but here it is.

Biscayne Bay on Sunday, yeaaaah buddy,

Looks good. What year is that boat?

Poodle, IF you don't use the color matched towline, we'll be expecting you in Palatka. :)

Thanks for the acknowledgements, guys. It's been quite a trip and it's not over yet, but getting there. Got another hour of (succesful!) running this wekend, just a quick trip.
Poodle, did you get out on the water??

Speaking of concept and design...years ago I had a Magnum Missle with a 200 on it....beautiful.
Hardcrab..just keep plugging away, it'll happen over time...pretty soon you'll be out there with the jimmies and the doublers.
It was a pretty breezy day on the bay, Poodle. Check yer email ,too.
