    OK so it is finally at the shop and dad and I took this week off to get a jump on things. Ok so I blew up my Road King and I cancelled my road trip. But so far we got a good start on it.

    Got the boxes on during day one of this week, and day 2 we got the Drives , steering, and tabs on. Eddie Marine sent us 2 left tabs but I must say since we got them a year ago they where more than happy to send us a new one to install. Props to those guys.

    Side view of the drive set up, yes there is a high X . You gotta love having to cut holes in perfectly good Fiberglass. And one of the engines in place, No drive shafts as of yet had to have them made up so we can set angles and make motor mounts.

    Not sure as of yet, He has a guy interested in building one with a big single. We ( I ) have enough broke projects to keep me going for while. But you never know with us.

    Kind of at a stand still waiting on parts, and I'm doing the wiring. Took the boxes back off to change the bearings and seals. Think I'm going to sand them down and paint them silver . I have to make new mount plates for the seats and I'm going to drop them down 2"s. Just trying to figure out where to mount the Batteries and trim pumps. Might put them all on the bulk head in front of the dash, to try and keep the engine compartment clean and easier to work in.

    I'll take mine with black gel coat hull and bright white deck. Oh, it needs to be set up for sit down seats too!

    Looks great. Any ideas as to the cost of materials and labor for a completed unrigged hull? It's a sharp ride and I could be talked into one when you decide you'd like to make some more.

    Keep up the good work Brian! We need to make a trip up to Chi Town soon!
