    Wow!! Love the color of the inside! Are you doing all the rigging? Trolling motor, grafts, power pole ect? Hopefully you can get it rigged out soon and start fishing

    yes sir! my brother, uncle and myself slept about 12 hours yesterday rigging it up. put a quest ultrex on the front. ran 8 fauge wire from front compartment to rear. fuse block and black box in front compartment. ran all power to power 3 12 inch helix and 1 garmin. installed 2 boatbuckle rod savers, ran 2 transducers from transom to console. installed a USB dual port to charge phone. I'm connecting side imaging on jackplate so waiting on that part. I discovered I had the old mega 360 plate so I got that ordered today. no power poles. I have 3 foot deep boat motor house built into garage. no way boat will fit with power poles.

    all I left to do button everything up, install transducers and mount graphs. plus run eithernet cable from bow to console.

    I had the dealer install nmea 2000 and bow trim switch. factory installed dual blinker trim. hoping to finish most of it on Tuesday

    What a sweet looking rig. Been chewing on the H18C model myself. Did you buy that at Bob's Marine in Bellevue? He had one just like it!

    The boat I have now is a tandem axle trailer. It rides nice but I’m not moving it around my shop anymore Lol!! That was one nice thing about a single axle. Very nice to move.

    Beautiful boat! Always have loved the Xpress aluminum bass boats. You'll have to post pics once it's all decked out and ready to fish.

    that's why I went with a single axle. I can vack the boat half way in garage. then have to push it the rest of the way
