Great job Louis! That boat looks fantastic.

Here's the GPS with some photoshop magic applied to it:

No idea what the labels on those numbers are, but hopefully it helps you.

Absolutely beautiful. Their is so much talent out there. I am envious. I am ready to start another for myself but can't do it now. I have about 6 or 7 diff. plans and have to flip to figure out the next one. Jacques keeps pumping them out. Makes an old mans mind go crazy. congrats on a beautiful job.

Great Job Louis! Thanks for the great play by play with the album and thread. You must be very proud of your work, it looks better than production. Truly a great custom boat! Make sure to keep on posting, especially all the great fish you catch on the "Odyssey"

Wobbly/Tim I pulled my plans this morning as I had some time the length of the side at Station C from the chine to the gunnel is 23 1/4". This station is located if you look at the boat, runs through the console.

Lucky hope you don't mind my doing this for you as I had the time.

Thanks for all the kind words guys, it does mean a lot.

Wobbly: I'll get that measurement for you today, I started work early at 4:30 am so I'm taking the afternoon off to get started on the 'honeydo' list that's been building for the last couple of years

Jeremy: Tx for the PS touchup on the GPS, that's pretty cool

. Numbers from the top were distance to waypoint, bearing to waypoint, speed over the ground, and course made good. The smaller numbers are ETA, crosstrack error, and current time. The main display is a digital chart of the area. So I guess we were around 27-28 mph against a 2-3 knot current so 30mph is closer than the 32 I 1st guessed.

I've got some paint touchups to do on the interior, finish the brightwork on the inside coaming and start designing the windshield. I found and bought my 1st downrigger on EBay this morning so when that shows up, we're gonna go slay some fish. I may even head out this weekend to do some cod jigging
