[Brian41]

We got the boat this week to start on custom dash. Here are some pic's before we get started with dash project. I will post as we go.... See you at AOTH

[MOP]

That is a WOW talk about being an eye catcher!

[BigGrizzly]

Well it is about time, what happen did you take off for Lunch.:wink::wink:

[Carl C]

I had talked to Mick a little about this project but was sworn to secrecy. Mick, I'm glad you went with the custom paint scheme and aluminum fairing. That is a @#*%ing awesome boat!

[Brian41]

Well it is about time, what happen did you take off for Lunch.:wink::wink:


No Griz I do not do lunch or listen to the radio so we will be moving along at good clip.

Carl you can show us you are a stand up guy by giving the shorty back I think I convinced him he made a mistake. If you do this all will be forgiven. :pimp:

[osur866]

WOW!! Just WOW!! :yes: Very cool hard to believe I was tied up to this boat last year at the raft off at AOTH Very Very nice!!

[Carl C]

Ha, Lotsa luck! I couldn't understand why that shorty would do wonders for my near identical boat but didn't work for Mick. Alas, no can do my friend. It is installed and I've grown fond of it!

[Lenny]

Unbelievable :D

Are you gonna have that smart dash as well? If you have enough speakers in her, we could just microphone up to her for the auction:kingme:

[HOWARD O]

If someone had described to me what that boat looks like, I'd have made up my mind that I wouldn't like it. But that is SO beautifully done, you can't help but like it.... A LOT!!! :)

Beautiful job! :yes:

[Brian41]

Mick, Love the new direction in style and graphics on the "Big Daddy"
nicely wrapped in 21st century new looks and American colors.
Thanks for the exceptional view on to Lake Cumberland, see you at AOTH.

Looking forward to seeing it at AOTH.

Beautiful job! :yes:

I agree with that totally. It would sound overdone but the execution on this is great.

[roadtrip se]

Got your message. It was nice to hear some of the excitment back in your voice over this project.

I will let Mick tell you all what he has been through putting this thing together.

Are you actually going to let somebody sit in that back seat?

[gcarter]

I would sure like to see a photo essay on how that paint job was created.

I've spent some time crawling over a couple of their work's of art, and the detail is amazing. There is usually some sort of ghosted image throughout the hull.

On the Factory Billet OuterLimits the patent number is ghosted throughout the hull.

On MyWay, the MyWay logo is ghosted throughout the hull.

[hot shot]

Yep it is back at brians and he will be fitting it up with the new custom monster gauges, tab & drive indicaters and a bunch of other cool stuff...just need some more power to keep up with the big dogs.. thanks for all the cool input...

[LKSD]

I thought you were finished a while ago.. I was wondering where you were.. I thought you were just layin low until the spring, I didnt realize you still werent done yet.. Hopefully we can catch up sometime again .. :) Jamie

[Air 22]

Mick..wadda think'n power option wise..? ILMOR 710, 610??or Mercury Racing 525, 700sci?? Is the Raylar 496ho not enuff??..:)

[hot shot]

no i don't think the raylar with cmi's is gonna get it done... i sent the ecu out to be reprogramed we'll see might have to get with mr x.... wayne from sunsation said he would get me a 600 or 700 with the new drive for his cost.... i am leaving room in the new dash for a boost gauge.... i think its time to get serious about going fast.... untill big griz sais i'm ready i'll just keep saving up....

[BigGrizzly]

Mick, Your ahead of most because you are careful and don't want to hurt the boat or anyone else. Remember Just because you have the power, It doesn't mean you have to use it. One thing I will say the ride with you at lake George was enjoyable to say the least. If you leave it with the Raylar and are wondering it you can handle it, we can do an educational run in my Criterion at Cumberland. If you decide on a super, just get it done by a good guy and do not go crazy, 700HP hurts things even if you don't abuse it. Moderation is the key. Driving a 22 above 80 is a labor intensive task, even when it is set up correctly. You have my number, If you need info just call. Just stop raising the bar so damm high. Your one of the few that can put that much graphics on a boat and still make it look good.:yes::yes::yes:

[Carl C]

Mick, is that a completely new hull? New deck? If that is your old boat that I saw how did the dash end up blank and vent holes etc. gone? "Donzi Limited Edition 001"........hmmmmm

[hot shot]

I had the holes filled in when painting the boat as well as the clam shell holes.... and i went with the vents like the shelby to match the engine hatch.... we are building a new dash overlay out of fiberglass that goes up to the wind screen... all of the small gauges will be mounted there... the monster gauges and my garmen gps plotter and mabe a glove box in what is the current dash ... should be cool..... we are working on the mold

[ITTLFLI]

Mick,

W-O-W...JUST FRICKIN WOW! I am very impressed! I know you have put a lot of time and energy on this bad boy and to say it has paid off is an understatement!! World class for sure!!!!!:pimp:

:hi5:

[McGary911]

Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks, huh? :yes:

I just ran across these pics on a TAOD thread over on OSO, and my jaw just about dropped. Ran over here and found this thread. Incredible job. I don't think anyone's ever done a 22 like this. Can't wait to see the dash.

Great job.

[Sweet Cheekz]

Mick, what can I say :worthy::worthy::worthy: LOOKS GREAT man.

[Brian41]

Brian, Get cracking you missed one event, what did you do get some sleep:bonk:


Sleep...when, I had 14 boats on the property last week and had to replace the fuel systems and 1 drive on my own boat. The "famous" Mcleod dumped a load on us that we could not overcome in 2 weeks including 1 seat that was upholstered backwards and had to be redone the day Mick was suppose to leave. I did take 3 days off last weekend but it did not include boating just my mothers wedding and honey do's.

[Sweet Cheekz]

Doing really nice work Brian Keep it up Rest in the winter
