First I want to thank Dr. Bob R. for including me on his project for the past two years. It was kept as quite as possible by all.

Dr. Bob has also granted me the pleasure to start sharing his pictures of the transformation.

Here are the original pictures as it started

Amazing work!

Looks like those levers are hooked to teleflex cables that go to the strainers. Probably actuate a valve to flip on the flush system and turn off the raw water pickup. Very cool idea so you don't have to climb into the bilge. Just guessing from the pics.

His whole goal from 30 years of boating was the ultimate ROUGH water boat.
Thats why he built this,..........from the money invested it's no secrete he could have had a new serial number ,........instead he has a new Cougar for his intent.
