You have both cases and cores then? Did you get them direct from whipple or another source?

How's the interior/paint ordeal coming along?

:toetap05::banghead::willy_nilly::lurk5:..damn you gotta be :banghead: everyday on this project...don't know how I'd be able to handle it.

For your info - Mc Leod has merged with another company. Starting all over again.:banghead:

Yeah it sucks waiting! but at least you are waiting on one of the coolest boats ever built! A fast condo that looks good and still handles! I am super jelous and will own at least one black thunder during my life! (yeah I talk to shane trying to work out a deal on differnent boats here and there, he is very helpful. One day it will all fall into place for me!) Just stay positive and keep moving forward the best you can!

Do you have a legit contact with them who is helping you?

 

[BDARCHER]

Still waiting on seats, have talked to Mc Leod several times in last few days trying the squeaky wheel gets greased approach

Finishing up wiring and testing systems. Interior from Mc Cleod supposedly 2 weeks out yet, paint and exhaust. One question - where is the best location to mount the transducer to get the best readings for the depth finder.

We mounted ours right in the center of the boat, as far back as we could. We don't get readings once we get on plane.

 

[John P]

Plane at 120 or 60?

 

[endeavor1]

Awesome, glad to hear this boat is coming together. Cant wait to see it run

 

[BDARCHER]

Maybe one right before the first step. Because the one in the back is useless when on plane.

 

[Coolerman]

Ours quits reading at about 15-20mph or so.......
