todd is gonna falllllll over when he sees this!!!!!!!!!!! awesome job! he put the lanier on hold till this spring cause it wasnt going to be done in time and no sense on paying on a boat to sit, so that being said, looks like your gambler and his new lanier will be out at the same time! we will have to set something up for us all to go out and maybe have a little fish off then a picnic or something. i am right at the ramp in haddam and he is right on the water just south of me 3 miles so we will figure something out.

Sounds awesome, definitely going to set something up for the spring. Did he end up getting his old one fixed or where they going to build him another?

Wired the lights in today, I'm actually surprised how well you can see them even during the day. Other than that just routed the wires and cables that were put in yesterday for the motor so the bilge is nice and clean for now. Also fixed a small trim issue I was having with my bow panel but thats all squared away now.

the old lanier was a one off carbon fiber that actually wasnt built by lanier but some friend of lanier in the mold. it was 800 pounds or something stupid but delammed and cracked down the center. it was a one off pure race hull not intended for any normal wear and tear. so the new one is a lanier built factory boat.

Thanks guys, managed to mount the dash and steering wheel this weekend. Also ran and bled the steering lines. Still waiting on my smartcraft water PSI gauge to come in to finish putting all the gauges in, the smartcraft tach is just mocked up in there for fitment.

Amazing job....lots of talent....well done!

[RJP44]

Thanks for the compliments guys, Kill3r Bee it is base/ clear paint.

My junction box and water pressure gauge came in earlier in the week so I finished wiring the dash except for the fish finder and tested everything quick. The temperature gauge is only temporary until the jackplate gauge comes in.
