NEW PROJECT

[neilsleder]

Call me crazy, but your steering looks backwards.

I’d have to agree with you! Drove a buddy’s boat on the left. Was weird!

 

[neilsleder]

How wide is that boat? Pretty cool to own a piece of your family’s history! But honestly think your grandfather would like you to upgrade to a couple of LSX or lt4’s lol

 

[NoBrakes!]

Too funny! Actually on its maiden voyage I backed off the trailer in front of the ferry and realized my steering was reversed…. Oh man, it made for an interesting day as I had no time to swap it, just had to suck it up and drive that thing…backwards lol

 

[NoBrakes!]

It’s 8’ at the bottom! I don’t know if it does need any more power… I’ll give you some numbers after water test 2 but I’m thoroughly impressed and I’ve only taken it to 3000 on both motors…. She flies!

Kudos bro. Ton of work to get where your at

I was messin with ya. The instigator Said your steering was backwards, guessing it would be like a normal peace river race morning.

Did some testing yesterday…

44mph up and 57 mph down…

5 adults and coolers… 200L of fuel

Smiles all around!

I’m very happy! And It turns right around in half the width of the north Saskatchewan if needed!

 

[NoBrakes!]

Well with spring around the corner… I am trying to get ahead of it for once!

I had the upholstery department at Outlaw Eagle Manufacturing in Red Deer make up some awesome covers, tarps and captains chairs for this project!

 

[NoBrakes!]

New travel cover with padded rubberized windshield cover!

 

[NoBrakes!]

The same bar mounts on the hull are used for a 3 piece camper top setup that uses its own set of bars making it 7’ standing room inside. It’s a clear windshield extension section, a second section to the end of the passenger compartment and then a third section over the engine bay for sleeping.

The camper top and bars are in that black dry bag.

 

[NoBrakes!]

I only have a sneak peak of the camper top setup…

 

[NoBrakes!]

Side windows zip out of the center section roof.

Bedroom area has roll up privacy flaps in the windows and a rear roll up for access to the swim deck.

 

[TylerG]

that's looking awesome! I love the look of those seats.

 

[HotShotHarry]

That is looking awesome. Good job!

 

[pipes]

she is going to be one hellava rig.

 

[NoBrakes!]

Finally enjoying summer! Took the boy and some family out Saturday for a quick chooch!

I’m honestly impressed with the new tops and how all the pieces work together… zip in windows, roll up back window…

Some more creature comforts coming soon…

 

[lilduke]

Thats a big jet boat

 

[NoBrakes!]

I ordered some aqua teak floor mat for the engine covers and some stainless louvered vents to get it looking a bit cleaner... I have a diesel heater to install, some interior/engine bay LED lighting as well as a few USB accessory ports to wire up... that will make some overnights a bit more comfortable...

 

[NoBrakes!]

I’m no professional and I take my hat off to the real sea dek guys… but at least the bare ass aluminum won’t burn the girls bare asses anymore lol

 

[NoBrakes!]

Headed up to Peace River next week and will stay a couple nights on this boat down river! Finally get to use it for what we built it for!
