Beehive of activity and its been hard to get pictures without being in peoples way. Earlier I saw the engines bays largely complete but when I returned to snap a few pics they had been masked over for another paint operation. Stay tuned there will be dramatic changes in this boat in the next week. Water test is days away!
Cheers

Just looking at the last pic and It appears that the test pilots of that vessel are getting a little thin on top?  Oh yeah nice boat, how good does a super duty pull it?

Towed great and ran fine Kevo, weight distribution with no interior and semi full tanks was far from ideal but boat still planed with one engine.
Got on step NOW with the 383/Hamilton's too. I was amazed how nimble the boat felt; accelerates very well
Cheers

Boat was easily launched and retrieved even on a questionable launch ramp. The winch was not even required Dale drove the boat right back onto the trailer.

Good to see the beast in the water.
Where did the trailer come from? Cool stairway up to the deck.
Delivery should be after the long weekend so we can run it up the Upper Red Deer.

Trailer was built by Towrite in WA state. They produce all our upgraded trailers and make a very nice fully welded trailer. Obviously customs also available
Cheers
