I would never ever put all that high dollar paint on a boat again either.

I get that... I boat in a chitty little river with bad ramps too. Its a pain getting it off trailer sometimes but once you know all the tricks its no big deal. When I go to the ocean or bay... that's when I would never trade.... it rocks!!! Well worth it!!!

To he honest I just don't like stepped boats. I understand they are faster and more efficient. I have been on quite a few and prefer the feel of a V. I'm pretty sure my next will be stepped and just have to deal with it I guess. Short list is 38 Gun, 36 Glad, 37 AT. Those are the only boats I am interested in unless I go cat. Looks like I'm fωcked any way you look at it haha...

I have eyed up a few straight 37's Mike. Can't afford to go new and would like something from the mid 2000's. Not sure what route I will go. No need for a cabin so a Glad or 35 Motion are the top two pics. Still have a bit before I change it up. I can say I am very impressed with Lazlos 37 so it is a viable option.

My list is 37 AT, 37 outerlimits or 43 Black Thunder. Cabin is everything to me. To me a pair of HP 500's is perfect for any of these options. Wait and see....

The bottom is blueprinted and we have her right side up again. We just dropped in the cabin liner for first time fit and 'head-scratching' as to what we are doing at the aft of the liner where it meets the dash bulkhead.

re-tooled the center entry dash as well to accommodate the new, larger GPSs and the vessel view as well as some gauges. All the toggle switches will be up on the verticle panel at the top of the dash and in a more 'waterproof' area form rain and washing.

Are you in a new building? It looks very different in that pic but the one in the Helm shot is the old shop.
