I finally got the seat bases all made up, I have the seats mounted on the bases but I need to figure out the seat heights now. The seats are very comfortable but to high where I have them sitting right now. They are going to sit about 3 inches lower. I hope to have it all done next week & then start working on the sun lounge.

Awesome. Looks like you guys had a blast. That is an area and a trip I plan on doing in the near future.
Looking forward to seeing the video of your boat running Craig.

I finally got the rear seat all mounted. I am taking the boat out to river ranch for the weekend & then taking the boat to FT. Lauderdale for the air & sea show. I hope to get some good running pictures this weekend.

I never made it to Ft Lauderdale, weekend got washed out. I went to Clearwater beach this past weekend with the family. My wife's maiden voyage out with the kids. all of us had a blast. The boat ran perfect, Wife pleased with the boat. Waiting on my Fiberglass guy to bring boat over to install the sunpad. Wife will be really happy once that is done.

Just got our cockpit re-done and boat now has a sun lounge for the first time and the Mrs loves it.
Couple of us locals are camping on/off one of the islands this weekend if you're bored

Hey there Gary, Glad to hear that you got your boat back & are using it. It has been along restoration project for me. I am trying to use the boat as much as possible, I love the boat. I can't wait for it to be completely done. I am ordering trim tabs for it soon, my next major expense. I hope to make it to your coast next month. I have to work this weekend, so won't be out boating. I hope to meet up with you in June.

Craig

I got the seat shells from Summit Racing. They are a very nice seat with cushion under $100.

I just got done swithching the lower units back to turning inwards & have it filled up with fuel. I am taking to Vero this weekend & taking it up the ditch towards Sebastion inlet. I have new trim tabs on order. I will get more pictures this weekend.
