I am. Its just gonna go out and get wet before the seats are all upholstered Wood/glass with a towel on it :D (No hillbilly icons). I dont have windshields yet, only a few gauges, no hatch yet, and eventually all the mounts/rails will be polished or anodized, braided hoses and stainless lines, anodized AN fittings, etc... These things take time and lots of $$$. Im just dying to go use it a little. Through the winter I will get more done. Heck, Im hoping to sea trial it next week (10 days or so) but it has a long way to go and summers almost over. Know what I mean?

Let me know when you are going to trial... I could bring a boat & a camera for some action shots....

Thatd be cool.
BTW, I weighed the boat with Hull, engine, jetdrive, both tanks (empty), carpet, it was 1700 lbs which isnt too bad for a 21' family boat.
