32 Shadow

[Ultra28]

I thought I would put up some pictures of the 32 as it looked last week. The plug is coming along pretty good. I'll post more pictures as it comes along.

I have to say that the gel on that 26 was outstanding. I cant wait to see the 32....How did the boys do in the Trophy Cart race?

[TBI]

Damn, that's going to be sweet!

[RiverDave]

Man they are working fast and furious on that! Do you think you'll have a boat ready for the LA boat show?

I'd love to see more pics as it progresses! I've always wondered how they build a plug from scratch.. You could give me a million dollars and the rest of my life and I couldn't make something like that.

RD

[JBB]

I would love to see more of how that process comes together!....nice pics!

[BarryMac]

Looks great John, keep the updates rolling...

[Ultra28]

Yeah, I plan on having one done for LA, it will be cutting it close, but we're going to try. I will keep posting pictures as it comes along.

[H4Poohbah]

Looks great John, hope things are going well; long time no talk or see. Definitely digging on the 26's; can't wait to see a 32 on the water. Please tell Leah and the rest of your Family I said "Hello". :D

[Tamalewagon]

Looks good John. The contoured sponsons look cool.

Looking great! Ultra28, will you be running the plug? Or creating a mold and then tweaking on the bottom after the fact and making reflecting changes to the mold?

RD

[shippingguy]

The 32 is coming along nicely. I cannot wait to see it finished. Congrats on the project.

The Canopy will be one piece they are still working on that part so No the canopy isn't split down the middle to allow your mullet to blow in the wind

That boat is off the hook! East Coast styling with West Coast finishing touches should prove to be a hard combination to beat!

I can't wait to see how it runs! (Hint John West.. :D )

RD

[JBTJIM]

Man, that thing is looking sick!

Hey, JW are you gonna have one ready for the L.A. Boat show?

[Nashvillebound]

I would like to know how tall it is sitting on the trailer... I just finished the garage to house it..... now im worried that its over 8'.... :hmm:hmm

Well start tearing down then:D I will be working the show it will be nice to meet you in person. I am excited to see #1 as well. I may go down and check out the plug Monday when I take my boat back down. Weather permitting though.

You really think its over 8' on the trailer??? That will REALLY suck.
We will be in SD three days befor ethe show. Hopefully to take a sneak peak of the 32 at Ultra... then were driving to LA for the show.... then SD for Sunday Brunch at Lowes Coronado. Were bringing another board member and his wife and want to show them what West Coast brunches are all about ;)

Well the 27 is just shy of 7 feet on the trailer. I was not joking I heard it was close to or right at 10 feet tall on the trailer.:hmm

[Nashvillebound]

This is SO not funny. I literally just finished this new garage.... with 8' doors and 9' ceilings. Its 50x50..... come on.... someone measure this thing....

[Sig Ep Mock]

Well the 27 is just shy of 7 feet on the trailer. I was not joking I heard it was close to or right at 10 feet tall on the trailer.:hmm

Our 27 is 7'-4" or so to the top of the seats......top of the dash is 7'-2"ish on the trailer......

I hope that 32' isn't 10' tall on the trailer but with the windshield..I would bet it's over 8'-0" easy:confused:

We'll see you guys at the show. Can't wait to see #1 either.

Yeah I had our seats cut down even with the dash. It is right at 6'10. My door is only 7' and it fits under by about 2 inches. Your Zieman trailer may sit a bit higher than the Extreme. My other 27 was the same. I definitley think the 32 is easily over 8' tall. See you at the show.

[VoodooMedMan]

You could always just give me the house and the garage or sell it to me for like $200 grand and then just build yourself a new one. :D

Seriously though, maybe a call to 619-443-1100 might be in order to get some info.

And I'd offer to help you out with whatever you needed when you come here but you already know your way around probably waaaaaaay better than I do.

[Ultra28]

It's about 9'. We won't know the exact number until we get the first one completed with the canopy installed and cut to the proper size.

[Nashvillebound]

I called yesterday... and found out just what John just stated... right around 9'. Once one gets done I will see what needs to be done to make things work out....
Look forward to seeing it and you guys at the show.......

[catman-do]

There is always option #2. Go jerry rig.... If you dont tow all too far, and you dont have any steep drops in which the trailer could scrape. Get some 40 series tires to take a few inches out. Then flip the axles on the top side of the springs to take a couple more inches out, and then drop the wheel wells and cut the bunks. Im sure with all that you can find a foot in there. Either that, or take your bags of money and build up the garage another couple feet! :D

While your out here stop by some of these truck customized places. Im sure one of them can figure a way to jank some c-notch system or put bags on it to slam the trailer while you park and then pump right back up when your outside the garage. :joke

Just got back from Ultra and sat in the plug. They were in the process of designing some real trick stuff for the dash. The boat is BIG, but not overwhelming either. It should be a hit. I wish it was in my BUDGET!!

No you would get the VIP that means we would make the motor boat noise for you. Mike just wanted us to play like the stereo was on

[catman-do]

RD

Thats what Im saying! C-notch the trailer at the axles, put some bags on it and low ride that shit into the garage! I can run to fontana and get some curb feelers if anyone needs???

[VoodooMedMan]

LOL...No doubt!!!! Probably like I would have too ;)

Don't let me on your boat when I come to visit. I might pull some American Pie action. :D

[Nashvillebound]

No you would get the VIP that means we would make the motor boat noise for you. Mike just wanted us to play like the stereo was on

ROTFLMAO.... Well, they will be Ilmor 710's.... so it would take at least two of you working hard to make it fo real. AND NO SPITTLE on the sled....
(visual land here...) I could just see John posing as one of the motors..(Ultra customer service being what it is and all this should not be an issue). doing his best revs.... when he hits the higher RPM.... I shout "SOLD" .....
Ya know, now that I think about it... I think as a customer thats what I want to lock in the deal. Wont cost anyone anything.... no pain.... just a little fun. LOL... whadaya say John??? We do go WAYYYY back...... :beer:beer:beer:beer
Of course we'll have to tape it....

[VoodooMedMan]

Of course we'll have to tape it....
Just be careful of where the video is posted because you will get a couple of guys saying that they don't believe John really made motor boat noises that loud and until they see a decibel meter proving it.........................:D

This guy has all the luck with trailers, dont do anything special to it. :D He needs it to stay together. :D

[Magic34]

This is SO not funny. I literally just finished this new garage.... with 8' doors and 9' ceilings. Its 50x50..... come on.... someone measure this thing....

Congrats on the garage, but you missed it with the height. Even if you could make the hole bigger, your ceiling height on 2500 sq ft is 9'. That is the problem.

For the low clearance doors, you still need 6" of height above the door opening for the door itself. Unless you can try to get really trick with it and get the garage to disappear in the attic or crawl space, you are going to need some lube to get it in there. Every boat that size is going to sit over 8' on the trailer, or at least every cat will due to how they sit on the trailer. My Magic was 9', maybe even 9' 2" if I remember correctly.

Get an engineer over there and get it figured out, I woudnl't cancel the baot because of this, just time to get innovative with the ceiling in there.

I don't know if I'd listen to this guy.....he's the guy that added in like two feet to his existing building so he could fit the new boat.......I'm never going in that building with the way he jerry rigged the added two feet in......and listen to him all...engineer this and engineer that....I don't remember him ever consulting an engineer :eek::D:beer:D:D:D
