Dan, beautiful! :D It was the first set of plans I ever bought. I think you plan on a 115HP motor I will be glad to prop your boat and motor for you.

Thank you for the compliments, fellas! I appreciate them and y’all!

Been pecking away at loose ends after installing the motor a few weeks ago. As has been the case with the rest of the build, I have underestimated what it takes to rig controls and engine electrics, make final electrical connections and install and bleed hydraulic steering.

With much help, coaching and counseling from VT Jeff and BamaGuy, it feels good to have gauges that come to life when the key is turned on, and tilt and trim works on the switch panel.

Got a title and registration from the Commonwealth of VA. Still need to plumb the last fuel line, but looking for a splash this weekend!

Way to keep up the full court press, Dan, can't wait to get a ride! Boat looks incredible!
