Cool:thumbsup

Green molds.
There's something to be said for green molds. Makes spraying most colors (except a few shades of green ;) ) easy to read behind the gun.

As a for instance, spraying black on black molds can be hard to see, as well as dark purple and midnight blue, and the darkest green on the chart. They all look almost black in the can.
Similar with the red tooling gel molds. Some reds and oranges can get hard to see. Almost like snow blind.

Great to see some Predator build here.:thumbsup:thumbsup

The deck is on. The cockpit size is adjusted to allow for 4 ~ 6 person seating depending on customer's design

if you look at the picture carefully, you'll see that the hull just cries the motors real well. The transom is tall and the boat is not sagging

The motors are not in a dangerous sinking level, plenty of carrying capacity. The exhaust ports are still very high from the water.

There were some issues with the digital controls and the rigger is waiting for parts from Mercury. Will post numbers as soon as...

Noli, any static set up position changes with equipment between the 300s and 400s?

AZ,

I haven't spoken to the rigging guys about the 400R

I will ask

The 300XS was 1.5" above the bottom's running surface
