TFL Hobbies "Blade" Open Mono

[Doby]

Well, one big assed box showed up today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before I post pics of the hull, I have to make note of TFL's packaging for this beast.

It was double cardboard boxed, each being 1/4" thick...the inner box also had plywood covering both sides for extra protection.

Nicely done TFL...it made it here without a scratch.

It even met the approval of my assistant, Pete.

More packaging pics.

This thing had a comfortable ride from the other side of the world.

You are such a Blade. LOOK, LOOK, It's got Checkers pre-painted for you!!! No need for extra checkers this time or...

One rather large boat stand was included.

Inside the beast:

There's a nice 1/4" plywood transom insert as well.

That's sweet inside. My Promise 40" Vee looked like the dogs breakfast compared to that. Both are CF/Kevlar layup.
