[shueman]

There's no "holiday" around the Eliminator Fundeck Factory this week-end. Adrian's new Fundeck ready to spray and fiberglass:

 

[Cole Trickle]

He's super pumped!!!

Sent me some pics last night.

Gelcoater is on the job right?[emoji41]

 

[shueman]

Gelcoater has been laying out the design over the past two days and he's ready to spray tonight :thumbsup







Lamination will take place Sat-Sun-Mon ...

He's "almost ready" to spray tonight. :eek

Late last night I noticed a detail on the deck that needs to be addressed. Will have to disassemble the tape a little and add a couple of lines.


Question to Gary, or CT

Is this boat getting a front/rear cap?
If it is I might leave it alone and let it be handled during that phase.

ColeT, you mentioned in another thread I needed to make it Gangster. I think he may be rolling Gangster style by the time this is behind his tow vehicle.:thumbsup

I hope he didn't take my Raiders comment too bad.:drillsergeant:

What is this "holiday" you speak of?

 

[Cole Trickle]

Does he still have a black Range Rover...lol?[emoji12]

Adrian is a super smart successful guy. We grew up around some trouble and I think despite him being a way better student with a better education plan found a little more than I did.

I imagine he is still a raider fan though...haha

Not sure on the cap but I think the renderings had a front and rear cap with a black anodized rub rail?

Is he gelcoating the bilge? I tried to talk him into it[emoji41]

 

[shueman]

No cap at this time (IMO they are just too costly today) ... the engine bay will be flowcoated and he's getting fiberglass seat backs to match ... :thumbsup

He's also putting his own "twist" on the deck graphics, interior, etc ... good guy and knows what he wants

I have a text out to him.
I believe he's doing the bilge? Same guys that do the cap do the bilge, so...

Between the two those guys will have close to a month of labor on cap/bilge.

It's a messy, dusty, itchy job, one I do not envy.

Apparently in no particular order.

 

[Gelcoater]

Hey Gary?

That looks bad ass. Is the main color gray a solid or a pearl color??

 

[Cole Trickle]

Metallic silver.

 

[shueman]

Nice work by Gelcoater on making all the trim lines / color scheme work on this one ... :thumbsup





Bulkheads and Fuel Tanks going in:

 

[BUDMAN]

Looks fantastic. Really liking the grays and blacks.

 

[shueman]

She's finally on the rigging line ... :thumbsup Gonna "fast-track" this one over the next two weeks

:thumbsup

 

[Cole Trickle]

You going to be at the shop today Gary?

Heading up with Adrian this morning to check her out would love to meet you and get a tour.

 

[jpf091959]

Wow, really love the color and graphics! Keep the pictures coming

 

[Cole Trickle]

Had a great Time with Adrian checking out his new fundeck. We made some good process making some choices on options and interior.

Jake was great to work with and had a good eye and a great feel for design. He designed a computer program for interiors that made trying new designs and colors 100x easier than just drawing something on a napkin.

Boat looks amazing and with Adrian's attention to detail I think this boat will be one of the nicest 28 fun decks to date.

Had an opportunity to meet and talk with Bob for a couple hours. I know why he is referred to as The Godfather....easily the nicest most genuine person I have ever met in the boating industry. He was a great host and I didn't know if I wanted to hug him or buy a new Eliminator before I left...lol

Just a great guy[emoji41][emoji106]

 

[shueman]

Thanks Cole Trickle ...

Motor's in, interior done, should be "two weeks" !!

 

[Cole Trickle]

Lets see some fresh pics Shu!!!

I have seen a couple and this beauty is coming out sweet!!

 

[shueman]

Updates !!

Motor is in and now time for tails at IMCO ... interior design finalized ... should be 2 more weeks

 

[Cole Trickle]

Adrian’s Fundeck is getting close!!!

Boat looks sweet and Eliminator is doing a good job with the custom touches.

 

[HB2LHC]

looks insane. Great work.

The under dash wiring and rigging in the bilge looks pretty tight.

 

[Cole Trickle]

This build is about done.....I think they just need to install the Sea deck and throw the boat on the trailer.

Supposed to head out with Adrian and Bob Saturday to splash her at Elsinore....can’t wait to see her out in the sun and really check out gelcoaters work!!

Boat is gorgeous....check out the first of the new seat back option. I think it looks a ton better than the previous offerings (Adrian’s idea)

 

[jbird]

Very nice! I like the merc control

 

[Cole Trickle]

 

[HydroSkreamin]

The transom looks so clean with that ITS transom on there.

This thing should sound really nice, and run good too.

Colors are kind of timeless, graphics are classy, not gaudy. Nice work, guys!

 

[Cole Trickle]

Fun day out on the water with Bob and the new fundeck. Boat turned out awesome I’m super pumped for the new owners.

We even got the wife to turn some laps[emoji41][emoji106]

Beautiful boat. A ton of great, unique touches.

Nice looking ride and private lessons from the Shaolin Monk himself. How cool is that.

 

[shueman]

Quick flyover ...

Maiden Voyage on Saturday ...

I took most of those pictures...lol

Seadeck turned out awesome my wife loved it!!

Ran the boat again this weekend at Elsinore. Adrian is getting a good feel for it. We made him do everything...back the trailer,launch, back the trailer again at the end of the day and get the boat loaded.

This is obviously a ton of boat for someones first go at it but I think he will be just fine. The entire crew seem to be up to the game and the biggest thing is Adrian actually wants to learn and do it right. He is not overly confident and just ripping it day 1. He knows it will take a bit and he seems to drive accordingly which I always appreciate in people learning.

Over confidence is the killer......

 

[throttle]

very nice build, congrats!

That wiring looks sooooo good I’m so jealous almost want to redo mine again, but mine gets covered up and enclosed.

That Merc 565 has to be the sexiest motor ever imho it just screams sexy. One day.......

Thanks for doing this with him ... appreciate the photo coverage as well !

Boat looked awesome at the show. As usual, the pictures don’t do it justice. Extremely well thought out inside and out.

Beautiful boat. What's the story behind the name?
