Can't wait to see the finished project!

What do you plan to put on the back of her? and think of a name yet!?


:thumbup:
Yamaha 90 4 stroke.

No name yet. I want something unique, but I get a mental block whenever I try to think of something.

There's nothing structured, he'll probably send pics at certain benchmarks or when I request them. The next group of pictures will probably be when the hull is pulled out of the mold. He ("He" is Andy the President) is also very accessible, when I call he either answers the phone or promptly returns my call. The larger boats are highly customized, especially if they have a tower, so I'd imagine there's a lot more back and forth with those. So far they have exceeded all of my expectations I had going into the purchase, including starting up a month or two early.

Looks to be coming along nicely. I imagine the anticipation of fishing it is starting to work on you. I know it would me. :thumbup:

Starting to look like a boat. The console is going on today, and the motor is on the floor ready to be installed. I'll take delivery next weekend or the Friday before labor day. There're going to be a lot of sleepless nights between now and then :D
