gelcoater never disappoints

Boat is coming along nicely ... tanks in, sides laminated, bulkheads near done ... next step is over to gel detail and wet sanding and polish smooth ... again, all by hand ... all custom :thumbsup

Dave's friends came down from NorCal to check on things after he picked up his new motor from Teague Custom Marine ...

I saw a couple down there. Which ones yours?

DaveC said:

Luv it.

She sure came out nice!!

I like the contrast in colors. My old boat was a bit monochromatic.

You did a great job picking colors and organizing them.
Classic, clean, and great resale appeal when that day comes.:thumbsup

Dave, I saw your boat today under cover in the paint shop, they were spraying the bilge. They were stinking up the air pretty good so I assume it's going to be really shiny.

Dang this boat has an awesome gel coat scheme!

Dave, this is going to be a fantastic new boat. I can't wait to run around the Delta and Berryessa with this badass new ride. Are you going to Shasta for Cat Attack on Fathers Day weekend with the dlb?

No can do. Kid stuff weekend before. Then we do a week at shasta week following

Wish I could

Very subtle sweet clean classic timeless idk all fit so perfectly with the gel. Congrats.

Dave congrats on the new build looks awesome [emoji106]

Ready for rigging ... parts coming in daily ...

looks fantastic!

Looks good! Congrats!

Some updates on Dave's boat ...

Dash area ...


Carpet under cuddy next ...


Motor @B&D should be completed soon, then interior, trailer, and lake test !!

This 27 looks fantastic, can't wait to see how she runs with the 540. I'm pretty sure Dave is sweating his HUGE family vacation and if the new boat will be ready.

Shit, it better be done by then. That is a long time from now.

It is coming along nicely. We just need a few more parts.

That's hilarious.
I turn 50 this month and couldn't agree more.
Your boat is going to be incredible. Well worth the wait.

Turning out beautiful. It will be worth the wait.

Dave has been very patient ... shit happens ... we've got a "plan" in place ... :thumbsup

What's the hold up?

Can't wait to see this beauty hit the water[emoji41][emoji106]

Dave, I sure hope this works out for you. We loved our 25 Daytona and having a wrap around windshield is gonna be killer when running.

Kenny sez "on the water by Thursday" !!

another beautiful piece!


please share some pics on the water!






.

How about some more pics of the rigging process and the like. :thumbsup

Dave C's got the ball ...

He's coming down to pick it up on Friday and head straight to Shasta :thumbsup

Gotta few. They are still working on it

Your stereo is hitting hard, Dave.

Jeff's tweaking the system as I type this.

I could hear it over the spray booth.

Midnight Marine was running on all cylinders I see ... I sent 'em pizza and went to bed

A seriously talented group, for sure ... :bowdown:

This build came out so nice, congrats. It's giving me the itch to have a new one built, just need to convince the wife :rolleyes

Those seats kick ass, love the upholstery. :thumbsup

Perfect:thumbsup

I was going for "call the cops loud". . Are the neighbors upset? :cool

I wanted to put more but Jeff talked me down . Any louder it would have been "complete public nuisance loud"

Are you there Friday? I will be there at 3 pm. I wanna come by and say hello

Today was Friday. :cool

Was there early.

Jeff working on your system, was surprised to hear him switch from some nasty rap to country, the system sounds equally happy.

Dave picked it up this evening ... came out killer :thumbsup

Couple more

Congrats Dave!

I've always been a fan of white base boats with a couple of color statements like you've done here.:thumbsup

You've built something I think is timeless. 15 years from now this will still look good in any crowd.
Now go make some memories!!:thumbsup

Congrats great looking boat nice and clean.:thumbsup

I wanted to thank the Eliminator team who did a great job putting this together at the last minute. They did this so I can make my week long vacation starting tomorrow.

Kenny and his team did a great job despite all the challenges.

I was at the shop yesterday, when they fired it up, around 11:45am.

The pics are great, but you truly have to see this boat up close, its a work of art. I am glad I got to see it.

Thats one hell of a Team at Eliminator.

Knocked it out of the park! Can't wait to hear how it runs.

Amazing, just amazing

Bitchin sled. [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji4] [emoji202]

Coupla pix from David ... smiles say it all :cool



His bestie Kevin sent this over ... their "tradition" shot from Shasta each year :thumbsup

Congrats of the beautiful new ride!

We are headed to Shasta in the morning, maybe we will get a look in person.

Keep your eyes open, there are still some huge logs floating and barely under the surface. I saw one too late and broke the bottom off my port skeg, luckily didn't hit the prop.
