Oh Man. It looks awesome.

I'm depressed now though. Mine is so far from paint.

Thanks so much for your compliments BUMBLESPECIMOODA! This has been around 3 years in the making for me, and at one point, I almost was going to give up on this whole project. I have to say, you are doing an absolutely awesome job on yours...And your craftmanship and building skills are second to none. I'm sure you'll be in the paint booth before too long, and your boat is going to be something to be proud of!

3-years... You sticking it out gives me hope.

Thanx for the praise, but I have really lost skills from lack of practice. The pics I post are of successes, not the failed attemps. I'm actually re-doing a big fail this week (don't ask).

Getting very close! Color work is completed. Just clear coat, cut, and buff and paint work done. Was told the boat should be ready for assembly this weekend. This thing looks stunning

Clear coat done. Boy this thing looks so shiny! Absolutely stunning!!!
With paint now completed, attention is now focused on reassembly, and lots of changes happening below deck. New motor mounts (with proper hole pattern) will be installed, along with new and longer drives. ESC mounting area getting totally redone, and the cooling system is getting reconfigured and dressed up as well! Going to pretty much be a brand new boat once all work is finalized!

I love shiny.

Its been awhile since I last updated here regards to the progress on my boat, so here is a rather brief one for right now...As we've been in kind of a holding pattern at the moment. As of a little over a week ago, I was informed the motor mounts and drives all have been removed from the hull, and currently we're waiting on the new hardware to arrive. Once it finally does, work will commence with mock ups and measurements. That's about all I have at this very moment. Should hopefully have more exciting updates in the near future, once rigging work begins and the boat gets closer to delivery.

It's been awhile again since there's been an update here, so here is one. As of a little over a week ago, I was informed that we were still waiting on the new drives and motor mounts to get here from Europe. Supposably were finally shipping sometime last week I was told. Been a very long journey working to get to the finish line with this re-imagining, but I am fully confident that the long wait will be much worth it! In mean time, hull is all prepared to mount the new hardware. The drives are going to be from CCFP, and motor mounts are from Frederick's in Germany. Will be top of the line gear!

Order a spare set of propshafts from Kent for those drives. Shipping and lead times on replacements is a killer.

Thank you for the heads up on that!

Update here...As of last week. We're still waiting on the motor plates to arrive. Gotta love international shipping! Fingers crossed they'll arrive soon so rigging can be completed. In the mean time, the new drives are mounted and look
awesome!!

Them drives look nice. I like the refinements in them, compared to the stock MHZ ones I have.

Yes these new drives are very impressive, and a great upgrade to the original MHZ drives. I was told the MHZ ones are really too short. Plus aesthetically, they look much nicer and are a much better fit to the profile of the hull.

I'm ready to run my twin MHZ cat can't wait to get it in my hands
