mulligan Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Looking like a boat now. The grey powder coat looks sharp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernsnooker Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Looks great! I love gray boats. They look good and are easy to keep clean. Engine at the paint shop??? Painting a Yamaha white or a Merc gray??? Don't think i have seen a 2500 without a hard top yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the cleat on the side of the leaning post for? Guess time. 1. A place to coil and hang dock lines from. 2. A cleat to tie fender lines to. 3. A cleat to leash your pup to. 4. It really is a bottle opener, not a cleat, for those really busy beer days. Those are all the guesses I could come up with on the spur of the moment.

Whats the cleat on the side of the leaning post for? I did not want the optional spring line cleats with that go through the gunnels but needed a cleat to tie off to when launching solo. Also plan to use them as a hook cincher, always cinch my leader to hook knot and the cleat should work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfish Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Love this color scheme...not usually a fan of painted motors but that looks really good did you go with t top over hard top for more shade or lighter weight? Looks HUGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfish Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Split footrests?!? SOLD! Do you know how many arguments split footrests would solve on my boat?? My wife always wants it down to sit on leaning post and I like to stand and drive and it drives me bonkers down there.... How much is this gonna run me again? Whatever it is, it's worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyB Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Beautiful rig. Great concept to understand the casting needs as well as the cockpit room in the stern. Im sure the demand will be great for years to come. I know i want one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcclark9 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Skip congrats on the new boat. The color combo looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 What a handsome boat, Skip !! Nice job with the creative touches. You are set up well with no outriggers.. I think you will find that you need another set of angled rod holders forward, and a pair of 90* rod holders to throw rods when you have a big fish near the boat, or when you get covered up trolling. During break-in is a good time to put lines out, and see how you want it set up aft. Plenty of room in that cockpit to work a school of Dolphin.. Nice ! Best of Luck with her !!
