All gel coat was removed, original glass was sealed in West System Epoxy, Epoxy barrier coated with Pro seal, and finished out using Awl-Grip. A rigging tube was cut into the deck so we could keep the rigging hidden. The seat base and console were built using non-rot composites and glassed together to be one removable unit. The custom 14 Gallon fuel tank is vented through the hull and its sender is incorporated into the NMEA2k network on the boat. We used a Vetus throttle and Sea Star Hydraulic Pro steering to make her handle and feel like a Porsche in the water. It has brand new Yamaha F70 which we painted to match the interior. The engine is mounted to a jack plate to allow her cut through the skinny water with ease. SS rub-rail compliments the gem lux hardware The detail in the cushion work really made the boat come together bringing the hull color into the boat outlined in the piping around the cushions. The console has 316 Stainless Steel push button controls to control the horn, bilge pump, LED navigation lights, LED courtesy lights, the tilt/trim of the engine and the up/down function of the jack plate. Al of this work is being covered by a custom made full boat cover that fits like an Armani suit. Special Thanks to: Rails and Fuel Tank built by High Speed Welding Cushions and Canvas cover built by Bluewater Canvas Works SS lettering created by Mended Metals
Anchor locker finished by Line-X of Wilmington
The Garmin 7607xsv serves as the boats command center allowing for a super clean look for the console. The Garmin displays the engine data, the fuel sender, controls the Fusion Black Box stereo system, and the transducers' down view and side scan capabilities. We had the anchor locker Line-x'ed and tinted to match the custom made anchor locker hatch and interior of the boat. The hand rails were custom built to mimic the old classic side rails. There are two forward storage compartments forward of the fuel tank which is completely divided from the storage area. Custom built speaker pods are built under the forward bench and house two 6.5" JL speakers. The custom teak helm pod compliments the custom teak back rest supports. The name of the boat was designed and custom cut out of 316 Stainless via a CNC plasma cutter and were hand polished to perfection.
