Sweet....you (we) deserve it  

You are right about that!!!!

Nice - do I see 7" screeen?

Yes RickK, it is a 7" touch screen. It is a sweet machine, does everything the big boys do, just compacted into this small model for smaller boats. It also has a lightening fast processor so when zooming in/out and looking around an area of the map, there is not even a hint of lag to refresh the map, it is instant. Should be picking up the Garmin 18HD radar within the next couple weeks!

Paint progress, one more layer of white paint and she is done.









This pic was taken right after I put this layer on, so it looks a little "too wet", once this dried for an hour or so, it laid very flat and the mirror finish came right out! Happy with it so far!

Has anyone had experience with the seadek products? I saw it at the boatshow and was so impressed it had me thinking. In fact, I have the templet kit on the way to my house right now to take a template for a quote.

Can someone help me find where I can find these damn things? I am looking for the floor scuppers that my dad has for drainage out of the back rather than into the hull. Please see pictures. He has a pathfinder and these are stainless, I have seen plastic ones before too, either will do but I have been searching for a few days now without any luck. Can someone help me out? Thanks all!!!!

Man !  I can't wait to see this thing in the water!

I don't know how long a run you have but maybe this will help.
River Supply shows a "list" of 82.99 each, ouch!

slvrling,

Thanks for the post. I actually was able to find those ones you sent me. But if you look closely at the pictures, the bottom part against the floor actually has a very small flat lip that lays on the floor allowing water to enter much easier. I just cant find these damn things. Maybe I will call pathfinder and ask them if they could sell me some.

slvrling,
if you look closely at the pictures, the bottom part against the floor actually has a very small flat lip that lays on the floor allowing water to enter much easier.

A cut off wheel (or even a hacksaw) could help you out here. Careful measurement and a fine tooth file could easily result in placing the invert of the pass thru level with the deck leaving little or no water around the drain.

 Extra work?
Yes but as much as you have put forth to date, just a walk in the park.
