    Thanks Scott!

    I also got to meet Scotty Begovich (Miss Geico throttle man) this weekend at the Atlantic City boat show. Honor to meet him and the nicest guy. Had a nice conversation about my Fighter Cat lol

        Thanks Slash!

        Forgot to mention, I had a little help... My girlfriend of 4 years now did the scoop "hole" paint, the front flag (had to paint the squares black so they weren't blue), and gave the boat a name. You can see "Little Miss Karen" behind the starboard side scoop (in line with the engine bay decal).

        2 weeks - wet sand/polish
        4 weeks - maiden in South Carolina!

                Looks awesome! IMO much better than the Geico theme.

                      Just one thing, the design of the window/cockpit. I prefer he design like on my Genesis

                          I didn't like the windshield at first, but they grew on me. I actually like the split window design better, has more character I guess.

                              Thanks check! I think I ended up with 6 total coats of clear. I'll be sanding and polishing in 2 weeks, then it's spring break in SC for a maiden!

                                Well here's the final product. Wet sanding and polishing is done along with a slight new ESC layout.
