OH man that is gotta be sweet! Seeing pics of your new boat being done. It's gonna make the weeks until it's complete crawl by.
Looks nice, Very nice.

[Singleton]

Seeing the photos makes sitting in the office and not going to look at it in person the hardest thing so far.
So far she looks great. Even the GF stated she liked it finally.

[ULTRA26 # 1]

The new 26 looks nice. Look forward to seeing it on the water

[Not So Fast]

Isnt it exciting ?? I was there everyday and took pictures at 5:30 or so. Too bad Magic crams then all in one room so you really cant get good shots while they are being rigged. I still look back at them.. Good luck! NSF

[Singleton]

It is like watching the kids grow up. Every day is something new.

Any updated photos?

[Strippoker]

im in the office tomorrow so I will load up some new ones. Your boat was getting the thing that makes noise put in the other day so I will go check in the morning for you. :)

[QUOTE=Strippoker;2438758]. Your boat was getting the thing that makes noise put in the other day so I will go check in the morning for you.
Would that be the stereo or motor.:)

That is good news. Thinking about heading over to the Shop Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday around lunch to check it out and finalize adds. I need final number of adds.

[Strippoker]

Dont worry Rob I will make sure to get my pen ready for you. Im running out of tricks to put on your boat. The hold up right now is the darn pink shag carpet.

[Strippoker]

Rob I think we need to add a bling cover to the motor maybe with a nice pink stripe or something to match the carpet?

with that hairline that is slowly going back wards these windscreens will be great.

We can discuss this today or tomorrow when I hit the shop.

Actually singleton went with going old school he is putting in a 8 track with a few house speakers. He figures that his wiggles sound track will really bump in that system.

[Singleton]

8 tracks are great. Have on in the garage in Carlsbad.
Maybe we change and go the vinyl route for the stereo.
On a side Note -
We forgot to talk about Fender holders in the ENG compartment yesterday. What are my options?

Dude the boat is looking sweet!

[Singleton]

Dude the boat is looking sweet!
Thanks.
Should be out on the water the weekend on April 13th and then watching Desert Storm on the 27 and 28th from the sidelines.

[Singleton]

Jason -
Any update on the interior? Since I just cancelled my trip to San Antonio for NCAA basketball, I might head down to the shop to take a look, but the GF would like to see how she is doing.

[Strippoker]

I will get you a few pics asap they are just starting the seats

[Singleton]

Any update, beside the phone calls. It has been 2 weeks without an update photo. Have they started the interior yet?

[Singleton]

Did my trailer show up yet?

[Strippoker]

No but we now have 15 midgets that are going to carry your boat if that is ok? I got told this week seats will start going in keep you posted

[Singleton]

Did the guys get the interior done yesterday?

[Strippoker]

[Singleton]

Thanks for calling

[Strippoker]

[Not So Fast]

So you are going black motor after all huh? Go back and beg borrow or steal for blue motor, took me a couple years but we got blue now. would have been easier to do it the first time, believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck??? NSF

Too late, but the HO in this baot runs very strong 75 mph easy.

Well then it does better than me but blue is prettier :D NSF

[shippingguy]

Yeah the new 26 runs hard. The blue motor is definitely prettier and stronger and just as reliable as the HO. I had the 525 in my last 27 and loved it. Your boat is very nice BTW.

Decided to go with the black motor due to 2 things;
1) insurance and 2) going over 80 is not on my priority with this boat, I wanted a fun family boat that still moves.
If I wanted a boat that goes over 80, I would of purchased a 27.

[Singleton]

Jason \ JW -
Please send me photo when mine gets put on the trailer.

[Strippoker]

roger 10-4 will do.

Thanks for the compliment Ship guy!! I still like the Magic even though they get the hell bashed out of'em on these boards, just too many of them now:( But from the looks of how many Ultras I'm seeing being built we just might have a new every weekend "Regatta" winner. J/K I really like the 26, very cool!! C-ya NSF
