What are you doing for non skid on the deck?
Looks fabulous-what's the main power??Its already applied. In the latest pics its covered to avoid damaging while hes finishing things up. Scroll back a few pages and youll see the nonslip coating pics
Hope it's not too soon to point out this is the second time....That dual binnacle setup is super sweet and clean. I don’t think I would have done anything different than you’ve done it. There are so many corners you could have cut to save money, it’s nice to see someone do it right the first time.
Extra wheels and axles make failures less dramatic.After having a single axle on my 18 foot maxum I'd never do that again. They just don't track as nice behind you. For running around the city and launching its fine but for highway speeds it's unnerving.
Saw it on their instagram page the other day. Great job by all again.Here she is, fresh off a couple hour break in period.

Gotta take it in to SG power in a couple days to get the digital gauges setup. Also has a similar issue to the last boat with the kicker throttling down when I turn to the left. Doesnt throttle up when i turn to the right, and my builder did use a longer cable this time, but something is still kinking/pinching a bit when i turn left. The sounder has a few quirks as well but I havent really fiddled with it yet, hopefully its something I can fix on my own.
Other than that, the boat rides great, looks great, and is pretty much everything I wanted. The layout is perfect and the craftsmanship is beautiful!
Looking killer. And big.Here she is, fresh off a couple hour break in period.

One of the things I see that’s stands out is that raw water intake is right in front of the transducer. Thats definitely going to screw it up when under way. Certainly doesn’t explain you’re electronic issues but that’s alone shows it has to be moved.This is the transducer mount. Pretty crowded little spot with the pod, swimgrid, zinc, trim tab, raw water intake, etc. Im thinking the sonar beam might be echoing or being blocked by some of the other stuff under there.

And this is what I see upon startup for the sonar. The charts load fine, I took this as soon as it started up so the chart hasnt loaded yet but it does after a second or two.
