Obama will be watching you doing the humpty dance on the hatch with one of his drones now that you don't have that plush cabin to sneak away to, unless you're planning blower scoops too..... Then you probably won't have to worry about where to do it, cause you won't be doing it at all... LOL

Grand Rapids boat show? Maybe we can meet up at the bar afterwards? I guarantee you Renae won't go to that show again. LOL

Too bad. I can remember Black Thunders, Checkmates, Scarabs, etc.....

Even the guys who went to Miami were saying taake away the outboard center consoles and there wasn't much in the way of performance offshore there. It is fairly amazing how the CC's have changed the performance builders into fishing boat builders. Think it's cause we're all getting older and the kids today don't drive boats much?

well i went a little over board this winter and cut the hole liner out. here is a couple of pic's of one of the front bulkheads and some mod's to one of the stringers. 1100lbs on the shop floor, what a ton of work. going to start glassing friday. running a little behind, but i will make it. paul better get those props ready.
btw i do have some top gun cabin parts if anyone is looking, let me know. maybe i have it.

So baron, was that cabin stringer bad or had the factory just cut it away to make room for something in the cabin?

cut from the factory for the table and bucket seats. they did sandwich the stringer 3 pcs thick there. the patterns for the other 3 bulkheads are done. waiting to put the balsa pads on the freeboard to final fit them.

Buoy , you really need to quit being an IDIOT , and do you really have any idea or clue on what i was asking ..........considering i thought my question was very polite , and are you the type of person who thinks he is the sharpest tool in the shed who knows everything and anything about fiberglass repair or should i say W H A T E V E R ............Dugh .
