My Last Boat Build

[spring fever]

Looks like "Trick Photography",a 17 footer can't really be that big up front,can it? WOW

It was designed for max deck space-I was shocked when I saw the picture-it is a very big feeling boat-more pics in a few days may give a better perspective

What is the widest point width? 8' plus? And the dance floor max width? It does look spacious. (another Realtor word for you)

No

It was supposed to be 7ft-having said that I haven't actually checked-I will this pm-it carries whatever the width most of the way with little taper.
I'm inclined to think it looks huge because nothing is inside in these photos-maybe like the old trick fish shot. Really got me thinking now because it does feel huge!!

 

[Aquaholic]

I did notice the lack of taper, thereby maximizing the floor space. Mine is similar, huge space for a sub 20' boat

Went to see Shadowline today- delivered some seats and a hinge for the trailer-hit the tape because of some questions-86 inches wide for most of the boat-lots more mods discussed-puts it off for a few days. All wires are run-non-skid is visible

What a beautiful boat! Very nicely done.

 

[Bifmalibu]

That dude builds a slick boat. I hope it's perfect for you, since it's the last, after all

Went up to Shadowline today-I have to stop adding on things to do. We are very close to the end-Don says maybe next week _I'm thinking first week of May. Looking really great! I am beyond pleased at the workmanship and attention to detail. Truly a one off custom boat. Few things needed-upholstery seems to be a hang up and of course I keep adding stuff.

That’s a very nice boat, I like it. You’ll have a lot of fun with that.

where did you get that steering wheel/spinner set up?

 

[Sir Reel]

Wondering if you considered a rub rail just above the water line for when docking

That is Shadowline's-I don't know where he gets them from. It's his standard and I said I liked it.

Good point-I didn't-usually I am not launching at a dock-just pushing off a ramp. This boat is actually very big-I am hoping I can launch in the old way. Time will tell

I am really enjoying your build thread, especially because I don't have to take the pictures, edit them, write semi interesting dialogue, and a photo by photo description, and then post everything.

He is building you a lovely boat. Congratulations.

Mike..... congrats on a beautiful boat!
I have been sharing this thread with a few buddies who are
looking for something similar.
Looks Winter Harbour worthy to me!
See you this summer?!

Super nice set up Mike. I guess I’ll just have to look for that beautiful boat out at the cans now not the 14.

Looks awesome! Looks like Dons got a 2nd shop bay as well, hopefully business is booming for him.

Yeah he has another Bay and perhaps a third. He is very meticulous and I am more than happy
