    NICE !!! I was wondering how your design worked out...Do you like the engine ??? Still waiting on reviews for the Predator engines....

    Engine seems to be performing very well. It only has 1.5 hours on it though so time will tell. Design of the hull worked very well, slides very well with no digging in.

    This should run all of the LED lights we need for bowfishingb at night. Came in at 28 pounds.

    Hey Ron and Darrell I'm really digging these builds !! Everything goes much faster the second time around doesn't it ???...And it's nice knowing the performance waiting for you when it's completed...I've always thought it would be fun having two similar boats to fly around in...Any plans on the paint schemes ???

    Game Warden must have thought we did ok. We now have Hull ID numbers and titles on the way.

    Nothing for sure but I did talk to the lady who does the graphics on my work trucks about wrapping them.

    I'm glad the registration process when well it's nice to have all that stuff out of the way and waiting on you so when you're ready to hit the water there's no troubles...That gauge of cage wire will add a nice degree of protection as well as some structural back-up...

    Boat number one is pretty well done, except for wiring. Ron got the cage welded up and painted. Set the motor back in and bolted down. Started putting led lights on it..

    Excellent craftsmanship.......I like the bellcrank mounted to the cage like you've got it...That saves on the drama of fastening it to the aluminum hull...How did you fasten the control stick at the operator's seat ??? I can't wait to see how those LEDs light up the night....
