    Ken, looks sweet! I bet you never dreamed when you started working with the Omega that it would lead you to this. Do you plan to leave it all white or will you be adding some color?

    Thanks OS, I'm really happy and I could tell from the looks on their faces that Ervin and Duane were too.
    I've dreamed of owning a tunnel almost all of my adult life. It's finally here, but It's sure taken me a long time! lol I really have to thank Duane and Ervin for all the help along the way.
    Ruggs is going to put 4 colors of candy pearl blue on top of the white for me, after the rigging is done.
    Everyone is really anxious to see what it weighs, from the feel of it, it felt like 375-400, but that's without any bulkheads or anything

    Ken,
    Congrats! It's already looking great! I can't wait to see all the progress pictures up until the final product.
    I was thinking the same thing that Brad posted about being a new father as I was looking at the pictures.

    Looking Great Ken!
    You can't beat a tunnel when it comes to on the water performance/ride. Hope all goes well together!
    Happy(er) days are ahead.

    Sweet
    Would this be the same central cal. larry swablenland Cheyenne ?
    without any mods. like the same molds he used in the 70's ?
    & I know Painted race boats common but, could you spray boat in mold ? think it would be more durable.
    LOVE the floor.

    Boy...so many questions! lol-just like a new dad, I love answering them!
    Jake, the blues are going to be pretty much like the paint on Brian's Eliminator.
    I'm sure we will know on the weight this week...Erv is as anxious to know as anybody!
    1Bahner-Larry Swablenland I'm not familiar with. Maybe Duane could help out here. I know it is the second version of the Cheyenne. On the paint, yes it would have probably been better to do it in Gel, but time was running short and so was money. My Buddy Ruggs has just opened a paint/gel shop for boats, and wanted to do an "advertisment" paint job for me, so people can see his work. I built him a paintbooth in trade, So that's the deal on that.
    Thanks for all the compliments on the new kid!
