Pleasant commercial property( a tin barn with no heat or in door plumbing) that eats up most of what he earns. His wife works nights to get the extra pay and his two boys hang out at his shop after school do he can get work done without having to worry about a sitter. He works his *** off, uses his brain and always find a way to do something nice with out paying full price. So to all that thinks its only money, get off your *** and put your mind and back to it, leave the wallet and check book at the house till you run out of options. Leave the check book builders to the TV shows.

In other words, he's what made this Country what it is today. He's an American.

The government rebuilt that boat for him.

That boat is sweet. I kinda like the topless look myself, but the sun would probably change my mind. Spare, I'm with ya on the bust your *** part to make things come together. I've put some money into my V in the last couple years, but skimped, saved, horse traded, and most of all, worked my *** off for every penny.

Love your way of thinking Bradford, now how about some pics. When is it to be "Complete" enough for a splash test.

Been a long road.

Felt pretty disillusioned and depressed about the whole thing, even woke up having nightmares about it.. I'm not kidding. In one she came back with the scuppers plumbed to flow water INTO the hull, another she was all finished. Absolute perfection. Except that she was painted red white and blue.

In the grand scheme of things though, most people in the world would pay money to have my problems.

Everything that is finished looks beautiful.

I haven't been on here much due to her not yet being finished, but will post up a report when she does finally get to come home.

Hopefully very soon.

Thanks for your interest.

Marc finally put a T-Top on it





slowed him down to 68 in this heat. He's put Chris Carson Reeds in it, finally changed the tuners so they match. Put Brucato ECM's on and spinning either 24 or 26 picth choppers(same speed, different rpms). He says he's going ot put the Brucato SVS on it, we'll see

[RidgeRunner]

I was thinking that he must plan on staying in the river and having fun with it. If it is that strung out, don't you think 3 footers will have those motors overheating again ??? SVS he does want to play. It does look normal with the top, but not the cowls. Cool Project
