Boat Progress 1

treegolfer · 02-19-2004, 10:07 PM

Got to the builder this week and was able to check out the progress to this point and take a few snapshots. Supposedly everything is on schedule and looking good. At this point it just came out of the jig and has not been turned over yet. Excitement is building!

De javu all over again! Looks just like Crabbait and I last spring and early summer. It's a pretty exciting time, isn't it? Keep us up to date as she takes shape.

Have you been hanging around the "jewelry" shops yet?

Looking good!

Let's hope that's the last time you have to see her in that position though! :shocked: :tongue:

I fear that puppy might leak. :shocked:

Have already purchased all electronics and delivered them to the builder. It has been a lot of fun picking out all the pieces and trying to stay within budget, although found the budget thing isn't working very well for me. Almar is the builder I chose to help keep the kids inheritance to a minimum.

REALLY NICE!

Thought you said you had a budget?

Can't wait to see more pics.

Need a deck hand?

Man oh man does that sound like a nice boat. I fell in love with the boat that Northriver had at the boat show. I believe Almar has sold certain rights to NR. It was one of the "Sounders", but it wasn't as nice as what you are putting together.
