    Had a small world moment today, my glass guy called to tell me the boat will be done tomorrow. Then he starts telling me one of his suppliers was in today, was looking over my boat and asking what was being done etc. Guy says, just curious because I built this boat, used to be an owner of Saber Marine. Gave my glass guy a brief rundown about Saber, history of the boat, turns out its Jim Geelhoed(sp?). Anyway my glass guy says, your boat was in a magazine article, did you know? Yes, I did lol. Small world!

    well, boat is back home, looks good! put a coat of leverage on tonight to shine her up real nice. now just need to service the engines and drives, take care of a few minor things, get the dash spruced up, clean up the interior and get a couple small tears fixed, and im good to go. it was 83 here today, when i picked the boat up at 5 i was a heartbeat away from dropping her in for a ride, if i had had the service stuff done i would have, but since i havent even had her running yet figured maybe not a good idea lol.

    Good. I'd feel bad if I recommended someone and they didn't live up to expectations. Is Steve doing your glass work?

    the rain finally quit for a while this afternoon so I got the dash tore apart and the gauges out, will send them to Livorsi in the morning. Also got the sunpad and headrests off, taking them for some repairs tomorrow. I hope everyone comes through quickly, cause im way behind now, want to be out on the water in the next week or two. I will post some more pics when I get a chance, kind of crappy weather now. Learned my cover isnt very waterproof, whole inside soaked after the rain, maybe I should have used the cockpit cover instead of the full one. I just waxed so was feeling anal, my boat is at home in the driveway cause my storage spot is being used for other purposes for a couple days. Damn trees are dropping sh*t all over everything.

    Thanks Chris Got everything taken in today, if things go like i was TOLD (lol) should be done in a week or 10 days, Livorsi is going to be the one to worry about, hopefully they arent backlogged.

    BTW does anyone have the old SABER logo on digital file you can send me. The one I have for my avatar isnt a good one (low def) and I need it for my dash panel redo.

    Hey Jon, The boat ran great! I am really happy with my purchase. I ran the boat a long ways at 3000 rpms and cruised at 52 mph. I hardly burned any fuel. Hows the kryptonite coming along?
