    Absolutely beautiful Peter, The decal of predator turned out great. Can't wait to see it run, I'll have the video Cam ready.

      Thanks guys for the kudos , for sure Anbjorn I will post interior details when I start mounting everything.....It will have much the same setup as the red Sniper . Ken I am hoping to get in at least one run this year with the new build .

            That looks wicked Peter and the t-bar is very nice. I like how you made it fully adjustable. I think your heart will be beating a bit faster on the first run (also).

                  How do you achieve that type of finish on the Alum. Peter?

                      Seriously Peter, an orbital sander?? Wow, whoda thought!!

                      Thanks for the kudos but, they are not difficult to make. You just can over tighten the fittings since it's so thin.

                        Looks like a tumbler finish to me.

                            Looks like she is almost done Peter and looking good. Are all the lakes frozen up north or maybe a chance for a quick test?

                                Thanks Tyler and Ray

                                The lakes are frozen to the earths core here Tyler . We had a high off -28 with a wind chill down to -38 degree's

                                Ray the stuffing tube is 1/4ID - 3/8OD ( Approx ) stainless steel tubing , This is the 3rd boat I have built using this instead of brass tubing as extra insurance if the cable ever comes apart - it is thicker and way stronger . I have seen some pretty mangled interiors because the 1/4 cable came apart destroying the brass stuffing tube first . Case and point was grail on the red forum with his 92" twin 3080 powered cat , the carnage damaged the hulls interior also .

                                And it just loooks better...............................
