Are those Die-Cut? Did they custom make those?

Thanks for the compliments, I think it looks a little newer and meaner now. I got the graphics on ebay from the seller "streetdecals" . I guess they're for a car, there was an image of the graphics on a civic. They only took about three days to get and they were made to order. just peeled the back off rubbed them on and peeled another layer of paper off, just like any newer sticker you'd get.

I've done everything on my boat on budget. I got both racks off Ebay for $220 Shipped. They're quite and boards don't slap around. I got some dude in NC to make the tower for me, it was only $900 including the lights. I've also hooked up an autobalast sytem in it w/ Simer pump to fill and drain and another Atwood 750 to fill too. I teed off the Fresh water intake to fill/drain and I drilled a hole in the bottom to fill w/scupper that the Atwood is hooked up to. I'm running two 350's on the side of the engine, 600 up front and about 150 lbs of lead bricks scattered around. The wake is nice, very comparable to the Tige 21V and Centurian Hurricane (both sacked out) that I frequently ride behind. The SAN I ride behind is a whole different story.

I've got about $8k into it. I also have a brand new engine in it that I didn't have to pay for, a bonus. All about doing it on a budget. Less work and more play.

It's so tough to find a solid inboard on a budget, I think you did a great job. That's the key, buy a lesser known boat & build it for your style. If you can turn some wrenches you can have a very nice boat, putting your blood & sweat into it makes it that much nicer Very Happy
