He put 8k in the boat like he wanted to in the first place guys! Give him a break already :p The motors are always the deal breaker!

What I'm really waiting for is some good video footage when Jserb gets this thing wet for the first time and gives her a little throttle! :eek::D

Hell yes....I agree. And I don't think you have anything to fear as you first posted about having more in the boat than you can get for it. Like redfury said, the motors are where your money is. Look at all your sweat equity as well. Man, all that will pay off for you in the end. Also, you know...you really really know how good your gonna feel as you hammer that 500 hp for the first time and you look around you and see this beatuful ride under you. Everyone will be a-wishin they were you!!
This has been a great thread. I am always anxious to see the next installment!! I would say thanks from all of us who have followed your diligence and hard work....

Don't let him swamp ya! :eek: I'd love it if the time came and I got my boat done that we could get a couple of us together some weekend ( that'd be a lot of gas pulling a 17 ft boat to Michigan from MN though! )

looks great!

how does the new paint look against the rest of the hull. I know many times when you paint something, the other items or areas now dont look as good.
