Gives a new meaning to show boat ..... nice Don
l'm always reluctant to align the pump and shoe.When l did the Stunt Hole,it took 3 weeks and a half dozen calls to chad for me to finally drill the first holes for the pump.This time only 3 hours and one call to chad! Thanks man for being there!!!
Yea Kev,think l'll just leave this ski in the showroom for peeps to look at! And you are right that first scratch is gonna hurt.Appreciate the props guys.

glad to help Don , but you already had it , just needed a little confirmation ... your boat is looking incredible!
Got some pics finally today.l've been working on the freak some evenings this week.l sanded the entire inside with 180.l also took 80 grid and took all the sharp ends off the carbon inside the engine compartment,you know the ones,the ones that cut and stick the crap out of ya! Then the painter cleared it afterwards.l seriously thought about laying a sheet of carbon over it,but it turned out fine.Some Cold Fusion love with the ebox bracket! And l'm running to 500 rules (someone is bound to say overkill,go ahead) and l found a funky little cupped screen for the scupper.l stole some of Jetmaniac's handy work on the padding.l diffidently like the idea of padded rails.Gluing it down tomorrow.l also came up with a pair of straps with tabs to screw one end down for the waterbox.Chris had that in his homegrown thread.Great idea.
McDog likes calling it purple rain but in person it looks more black.But l will say that with the blue and red pearl in the paint you are bound to get some purple effects.
l also want to say thanks to Chris (thank you!) for putting up with my chit for ordering last minute things almost on a daily basis.And a lot of props to him for doing what he says he will do.l had to order something a week and a half ago from Georgia.Figure two to three days,right.Nope got here yesterday.
So if l get lucky maybe by next weekend she will be ready to go

Wow Don! It looks great.
John and I bonded mine yesterday. What a freaking mess on the floor of my shop from the excess bonding agent! I think it turned out pretty good. I will shoot some pics today.

Thanks Shane,and Greg.Looking forward to that first scratch John!
Bonding,the most exciting, adrenalin building 45 mins you can spend!!
Also wanted to give props to JSS and OCD Solutions for their handy work.l didn't buy the battery and starter cables directly from JSS but a deal off ebay.But still high quality work.Boyer's work is why he has the name OCD.l bought the Tidy Bilge wiring system from him with a two stage bilge,that is l can run one or both bilge's with the turn of a switch.Nice and "Tidy"!
