Congrats, Peter! What a great video! Now the rewards for theyears of work and all of the attention to detail - I'll bet you're spending a lot of time at the ramp explaining your boat!

Although it was a almost mirror like sea I mentioned she handles chop very well, and as long going straight into the chop she and her flair keeps you dry.
As shown in the earlier pic she reached 43 mph wind in the back and about 42 with head winds, still I'm missing a few rpm's because the computer is breaking her in, after 20 hours I think it will be about 45 + mph.

Here's a vid, obvious I didn't take to much attention shooting it :wink: still I hope you guys like it, better pics and vids will follow 8)

That is what I wanted to hear! Great job, thanks for the pictures and the detailed building write-up.
Many future builders will read this thread and learn from it.

Peter:

Your boat looks great. Congratulations!

I am assuming the name and logo are some type of sticker or transfer. What are they made of, and where did you get them? Is there a website?

Thanks,
