That's a big boat!!

Nothing like making a Tahoe or suburban looks small. The scale makes so I can't tell what truck that is. :doh:

Are you going to move the bunks on the trailer back to support the transom? I forget what kind of power this will end up with.

The truck is a suburban and I know what you mean about it looking small. The power will be a center mounted diesel to an outdrive via jackshaft. don't plan on moving bunks. outdrive only weighs 300 lbs. going to beef up stringers for additional support anyway.

Looks great! You are making me feel like a slacker. At first glance I thought you topcoated the hull sides. Did you ever weight it? At one point I thought you had mentioned doing that. Keep up the great work.
