    Finally!!!! 99% done with the new jet boat........

    I still have a little clean up work to do on it like polish the trailer, side strakes, and put the pin stripes and Balllistic decals on it but other than that its DONE!! Actually went to the pond and rode laps for over an hour to get some break in time on the engine. Mark, our rigging guy, really does amaze me everytime we put one these together.

    We started at this point.....


    And ended up with this.......

    Perforated floor with lights under it...


    After the carpet and during the rigging process....


    Finally....its ready to get wet.


    (Sneezy, I hear a POLISHED Signature Series Power Pole calling your name bro!!)






    You can see part of my BOOM BOOM in teh front storage compartment.










    MANY thanks goes to Gregg Rothwell for allowing me to do this. I cant say enough about how good he is to work for. I spent his money on the first one, he spent mine this time. For some reason this one cost ALOT more.

    I want one. But, on the rigging part....Is the ugly fat guy an option or standard equipment?

    I bet you will really like that power pole on your new rig.Looks like someone took a little extra time and painted it to match the boat,it sure looks nice!!

    Awesome
    If you ever get a pic at night I'd like to see that floor lit up. That is pretty cool.
    Indecision may or may not be my problem.

    Re: Finally!!!! 99% done with the new jet boat........ (wildkat7)

    Thanks for the compliments guys! I am really proud of this rig!

    Mike, the PowerPole came like that from the factory. Its the new Signature Series and they offer them in Red, Blue, black, white, and POLISHED (just for Sneezy!!)!!

    The floor is a perforated aluminum that we sprayed with bedliner material and color matched it to the carpet. We have to weld in extra supports in between the ribs so the floor wont give.

    Here is a not so good cell phone pic of it lit up at night, the red is from the light I have in the front storage compartment. I am thinking about changing it out to clear one. Also we put clear lights in the bilge area.

    In the pictures you shure couldn't get a better match in color!! I just thought you guys had painted it to match your boat. Those lites are really cool in the floor,and you will really like them when you put it to use durring the night fishin trips.

    Re: Finally!!!! 99% done with the new jet boat........ (xpress spanky)

    Whenever the bottom of the boat gets dirt in it, I should just be able to hose it out through the perforated floor. I will probably do that on a pretty regular basis to keep it from getting built up.

    Crocs=10 year old daughter. Notice my 6 year old son has Chuck Taylor's on.

    Mike, I was REAL surprised on how well the Power Pole matched. Its not a perfect match to the boat but it does match the red rigging bezels.
