So they just added 22" for the transom cap?   Looks nice.  Where is it and who built it?

You should also see his 26' Boca Grande in the shop that he is dropping a Yanmar diesel into. The boat will be smokin hot. I was over there a couple of weeks ago buying a 115 Merc parts engine. The shop was in Safety Harbor, not sure if he is still there or not.

Black is a tough color to do well. This one turned out really well. This is my reflection in the black paint.

Eugene, EXCELLENT job on the black, you have some talent working for you!!  

Now, I gots a question for ya.  What are your thoughts on passenger seating on these 19-6s and 22-2s?  Realizing that each boat is re-built to the owner's wishes, but seating is something I think needs to be looked at...

Seating and storage are what make the coffin box configuration popular with our rebuild clients.

that thing is beautiful! what a finish on the paint!
really like the transom cabinet doors with the "slide" trim ring so you can easily pull the whole door out or just hinge at the halfway point- smart idea.

Wow, Eugene - that does.look flawless!  What can you tell us about the spray rail?  Is that a purchased item, or did you fabricate it?
