Dam how do you get that grass so green.
Just joking. How about some better shots of the interior and engine. Looks nice.

[Danhercules]

What part of the boat did you leave alone??
That looks sweet. Nice list. We want more pics!!!

[fourspeednup]

Schweet! Could you post a pic of the interior, esp. the rear. I like that style of seat as opposed to just a bench,,,,,not like 3 can fit back there anyway:rolleyes:

Taylorman, the grass is 1.5 yr old sod. The rain water also does wonders for it. I'll snap some better pics of the interior tomorrow & motor & then post them too.

Your boat looks sweet!
I see you have installed your banderlog water injection valve on the side of one of your stringers. I was just wondering if you had any problems with it getting wet and if this has caused any problems for you? I am asking because I want to install mine in the same place and the manual says to install it in a dry place.

[Fogged Gullwing]

That thing look's Bitchen!!!!!! You did a great job!!!!!
Later BK
