A few pics of #5. Still collecting parts before it goes off for an intake/pump/steering install. Should be a runner when completed. These boats have nice lines. Itchin to see it with a motor. My goal is by next summer but speed costs $$$$. This one is getting capped as well.

Hey CS, ended up with the standard 4 deg. Really wanted to try something different but really do not want to be doing a job twice if the boat dos'nt like it. I know the 4 degree will work well. Mabey after it is running for awhile I will experiment. I have two motors. One is a 509 BBC that is a pretty reliable pump gas mill. It pushed my 19' CP to the century mark with 125 shot of spray with full interior gas etc. The other motor is the one im working to complete. It's a 557 BBC that should take me to the promised land.

Thanks. The trailer options are up to the customer. I opted for a swing away tongue, brakes, and the hidden spare.

gunslinger, Nice Lake Rod! I sure hope BL gets the molds back. He has a real nice boat popping out of them.
The older I get the more I think I need a bigger boat. Till I get back in mine and hit the gas and realize this boat is why I enjoy boating!

I think alot of people want to see him with the molds back. Pat is a good guy to deal with and would give you the shirt off his back. Three boats were layed up until this hull passed the weight scale test with no questions asked. Thats good customer service IMO.

Definitly a nice piece!...i like the white/red, they come together very well, and whoever you have cap the hull will thank you for the thought in the white ribbon around the cap line, gullwings look stellar capped!
So, uhh? who do you have capping it???:)

Nice slinger..
There are guys running hard with a 4 degree, nothing wrong with that.
That 557 should push that thing well, keep us posted on the progress... BTW, the red dragon boat is a pile, you've got him covered.

That fade is so subtle and sweet. I normally wouldn't like a boat with that much red.
Looks like there is some hardware sitting on the shelf waiting to get bolted up!!

Thanks Gopher, there is alot of orange in the gell fade. These colors seem to really pop on the water. It should really go off once the motor is installed, its really big.
