And so it begins....

Well my flight to Victoria last night was delayed so didn’t get to my parents until 3:00 for an even 24 hour shift. A few last minute stops along the way to pick up the boat. I have it at my parents and taking it for power in the morning. I’ll put some pictures up of the install when it’s done. I just came in after crawling around the boat for an hour or so. I’m extremely happy with the fit and finish and just the feel of the space. Lots of room and feels really open. With getting the extra foot and more beam he also told me that the fuel tank is actually 125gals so 20 more than I was expecting. Anyways...a few pics of the new ride that is no longer being built!

Thanks PE! Stroked isn't the word......As far as the Logo goes it isn't the builder's. I'm assuming he will be putting his on before I pick up the boat. He usually seems to put them on the sides near the stern somewhere. The Logo is one you would only recognize if you grew up watching Star Wars movies....like me...and now my kids. Yes.....I know....not everyone's cup of tea. lol

The Death Star would be cool name for a boat.

But maybe not based on the eventual fate of the original Death Star.

Dropped it off this morning and squeezed it in between a 20’ Trophy and a 17’ SilverStreak. Now back to waiting!

I have a nice seat upgrade for you. 2 black Bentley seats that would look perfect in your boat....PM if interested

Boat looks great btw.

Incredible vessel that anyone would be proud to call their own. Go ahead and flex you deserve it, she’s a beaut. Love that fishing deck, very well designed boat. I know I’ve said it before but man that thing is going to fish good.

Thanks walleyes! The dance floor space is one of my favourite things about about the boat. When I picked it up yesterday my dad phoned and asked me what I thought. “It’s big!” Is the first thing I said to him...lol. Lots of room to fish or just hang out on the back deck.

Thanks BigReel....I’ll let you know. These seats might just end up getting put on my tiller boat...where they belong.lol. A bit of a miss between the builder and myself until after it was done. Not too bad in the end since everything else so far has been better than expected.

Your kicker has been mounted, it's gonna look good next to the twin 150's !
