Flipped her over today, noticed that when I layed her in the grass to get her on the trailer that she was sliding all over the place with the steel flex 2000. I put her on the trailer with a little push, all I have left to paint is the cage.

Thank you Sergio. I have not decided yet Sergio, because if this engine does apeal to me I will be in search for a 0540 and do not want to end up buying another prop.

One step closer today, I spread steel flex in the cage area and on the center hatches. I will sand the deck down on Friday to then paint it on Saturday along with the cage.

I have a sick name and design for your boat. Give me a call. Ill try to text you pics. It goes with the all black theme.

The heavy rain this weekend did not allow me to paint the deck. However, I was able finally paint the cage, stripped it down to the metal.

Well I finally got my prop today, 72' Warp Drive.

Installed the bilge pumps, deck covers and dumps. Filled the boat with water, and no leaks!

Sergio if I move up to a 0540 this is the prop I want. I road in my buddies sled in Ft. Myers Sunday and fell in love with his performance with his 5 blade 72' WD, 220 gpu with dual mags set a 8 degrees. It is fast and I liked how the motor revs up and the prop snaps like a bat out of hell. So, when I got home I searched in the prop section and saw one that Schimdt had just listed, I made sure that I would call him first thing in the morning. When I called him he said he had nine calls and two people wanting to buy it, I told him that I would be there right away to buy it. Glad I did because the prop was his personal prop and it looks great.

Looking good and moving right along. You'll be sliding on her real soon.
That is gonna be one slick sled.
Thanks for the progress pics.

I am finished with all the sanding, welding, fabricating, painting and steel flexing. Just completed getting the deck done! In two days I can start putting her back together......

Might want to scuff that deck up some.... Stepping on there barefoot after getting your feet wet at the swimming hole would probably get your butt acquainted with the deck awful fast...

Exactly, I am putting some deck strips.

The hull is ready for the cage and rigging. Laid her on the ground to work on the trailer.

MUGSHOT · **Posted:** Sun May 06, 2012 8:31 pm

Did some work to the trailer too. Going to weld two new wheel fenders.

Man you are doing a good job. Yes it is very labor intensive but u said it right earlier you will apprecieate and respect the boat a lot more after you are done. I hate dirtbag a$$ people that screw people over like you. You will enjoy that boat,I have a 11'x7'.6" wardaddy with a 520 conversion on it. And man I love it, it is the best boat I have owned.

Thank you for the kind words. It has been a lot of work indeed, and I have done it all by myself, which makes it even better. You have a great looking ride indeed, I have seen it in the pictures. I bet it rides great with that power and that hull. Again thank you
