Went to the factory and picked up the new boat. Trying a flat front this time. Nice fit and finish and sweet Diamond City trailer. LED spots are cool (and BRIGHT).





Triple Taper chine- gotta look hard to distinguish from round:


CDI Motor:


I added the interior LED option- courtesy lights operate bright LEDs in all the boxes, under the gunnels and front deck.



Old boat was jealous:



Weather has been nice in Dallas for painting:


Did get some shark eye lights in:



Will post that template review shortly.

Looks good Gary, I want to hear how the CDI performs. BTW if you need to put that thing in a safe, dry place during the next snow storm I will offer up my garage for you.

thats a kool looking boat there man

Thats a very nice lookin rig man, congrats.
It must be nice to have two mud boats at your disposal.
Is your other boat the boat with a review on the camo stencil job from indianasportsman?
If so, you did an amazing camo job on that boat!

Thanks- the new one will look like it too, got a break in the weather

Ready for turf now:

Got all the turf in- ready for fishing.






Heads and carb- done:

Looks good, Gary. Give me a hollar if you want to go for a ride or chase some sandies....

Gary how long is the open floor space on your rig? From the edge of the front deck to electrical control panel...

Edit:Also is your front deck the standard length?


Thanks

looks like a mighty fine rig!
excellent job Mr. Gary

deadbird - awesome boat man. Mind telling me about what that new boat and trailer set you back?

I think an Excel will be my next boat.

Thats a standard flat front - 45 inch front deck (fishing platform)
Length from deck to back box is 10' 10"

Thanks for the compliments guys- I am once again a retired boat painter.



It cost me a trip to Mountain View, AR to pick it up. In the MB 12 days of Xmas contest this December- I was the winner for the 11th day and was drawn for the grand prize: boat/motor/trailer. Hence the moniker:

Spme people have more luck than sense.
Looks good deadbird.

Holy crap deadbird, thats freakin awesome! I'm pretty new to MMT and was unaware of this contest. Awesome though. Hell of a job on the paint.

So is your old rig for sale, already sold or what? How much $$?

Holy Crap G. I see Overspray just above the "M" in X-Mas!!!!!!!!!
