Went and checked the progress today and was quite pleased with what I found.
90% of the hull and top sides are completed and rigging has began.
Engine mounted, windlass and all wiring ran. Really a great thing to be able to watch.
In the attached photos, I took a shot of the spreader light splice and and as I was told, all connections on anything electrical are with the glue heat shrink connectors wether butt, ring or spade .
The Steiger seat boxes are mounted with more than ample storage along with Pompanette ladder back seating. Rocket launchers mounted and all hand rails to reach the bow.
Next up is the completed boat wiring and then on to the electronics.
Getting real close to completion expected splash date is Friday June 8th.
Will for sure provide boat porn of the launch and some running shots.

To all be well and catch FISH.

Tom

Went to the factory today with the hopes that I would have the boat for the weekend.
Well thats not going to happen. :cry: :cry: :cry:
The canvas back along with the cushions are not going to be ready and installed until late afternoon Friday.
Good news is that the boat is complete awaiting the shake down sea trial and then the official launch on Tuesday.
These are the final shot on land, the balance will be water porn.

Congratulations Tom! :)

Well the wait is finally over.

The boat splashed yesterday conditions on the bay were far from great so good shots were not to be had.

The following porn is all taken at the home port. Hopefully this afternoon I can get some performance shots.

Rich in the pictures is the man who owns a 2002 Parker 2510 with a diesel I/O.
 
I know there are photos out there somewhere. :)
Post em up as soon as the weather cooperates!
 
Heres the porn of the boat as promised...

Stunning!

Best of luck to you Tom.

Thank you for taking the time to share the photos and the experience with us. I really appreciate it.

I can't wait for the ride and handling report.
And...if you have another moment, I am interested in the v-berth. Some have complained about the small size. Any pics?

Thanks again,
Dave
 
Beautiful Tom! You are going to love that rig! :)

Looking forward to your reports on 'making it your own'. 8)
