There is a lot I like on the boat, but there is also a lot that is "strange" (IMO). And I'll keep my comments on the graphic to myself...

This was a FMO poker run from 2012. I have quite a few pictures of this boat, we called it the "horsie" boat. Here is the link to the days pictures 2010 FMO Jan Useppa Run - a set on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/43835830@N06/sets/72157623185506591/)

Thanks for adding those.

The boat really looks nicely done - the interior looks quality and I like the way the deck and hull meet, almost looks continuous, could lose the rubrail and put a decent paint job on it and it might be something.

Looking at just the boat (not the paint), it has nice lines.

I'm curious about the layup and quality of the build. Also curious of the origin of the hull/mold.

I remember thinking that the overall fit and finish was exceptional. The boat was very
tall. The cockpit looked high quality, with what seemed to be a western leather saddle
theme. Here is another picture I took, from the 2010 Naples event.

Yes, the interior looks like quality saddle leather. Do you recall what the "buttons" on the bolsters were for? Drop out bolster? Adjustable footrest (like the Donzi ZX's had)?
The dash layout is a little "un-traditional", but I'd have to climb in to form a solid opinion.

From the pictures, the fit/finish does look really good.

But, I'd have to change the whole "horsie" theme. I hate horses.:beatdeadhorse5:

I'm usually more into the square/boxy look of old school classics, but this has more of a rounded/Euro look. Surprisingly, I like it on this boat.

jUST got a text from Stecz. He said he was going to buy it. He loves the horse and is naming the boat the "GAY CABALLERO".........

I really wanted to register under the name "MR ED" and say "Up yours Scovern" but laziness won out over mischief.....:cool:

I am not trying to be a jerk, but that horse graphic looks like a kid drew it.

You would have pronounced my name wrong.
Spelled correctly, but nobody pronounces it correctly on there first try.

John, we've been dancing around that statement for a few years, and you came out and said it.
Gail Paik didn't do the paint.
Hell, Hanna-Barbera could have done better paint.

Don't like the horse graphics, looks like something my five year old nephew would draw. Is it a one off boat? Assuming it is, think it will be a tough sell.

Yeah, the boat appears to have nice lines and overall.l projects well. The paint needs some major improvement
