well, everything is finally finished. this past weekend a good buddy of mine and I installed the last few items. like anything with a boat, nothing goes smoothly and after finally overcoming a few of the set backs, she's done! still working with different props and experimenting but, other than that I can finally call it complete.

Looks good, Dom. Love the color scheme. :wink:

Is that a half-tower or forward casting platform laying on the aft deck?

thank you sir! I haven't had any regrets on the color scheme yet. it's a 6ft casting platform for the bow that just straps down to the cleats and then I lay it down on the back deck for traveling purposes. pretty excited to take it out to LA next month!

here you go, this was before everything was complete but it gives you an idea of what it looks like. got one tie down component on the way to help secure it to the deck in the front. I just hope it works like I'm thinking it will!

I would go overkill on secure points, Dom. That's a lot of top-heavy weight and torque up there and you certainly don't want it ending up in your lap when running at speed.
