 1851 EXCEL F4 - "The 11th Day of Xmas"- Done
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.

 Re: 1851 EXCEL F4 - "The 11th Day of Xmas"
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!

 Re: 1851 EXCEL F4 - "The 11th Day of Xmas"- Done
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

 Re: 1851 EXCEL F4 - "The 11th Day of Xmas"- Done
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 $$?

I know this is an old topic, but man that is a sharp looking paint job. I just wanted to tag it so I could look at it later when I paint mine.
