Dang Peter as always you are a perfectionist. That looks great. Keep on keeping on. Can't wait till you put her on the water. I'll be watching your build.

That looks great Peter. Now I see why you added the highlights in the floor epoxy too. It is really all coming together.

We are working on it measuring and stuff see if it works, jet probably won't although it fit's Jacques is worried the step sends air to the intake.

Thx Tom but believe me I wouldn't say it is far from perfect but it isn't perfect either.
