Wow.... Congrats..... Both are great looking boats. But its crazy how small the Viper looks next to that. Hope you enjoy it :boating:

They are such a cool boat, I wish I had the ambition anymore to stretch one to 20ft, i think that would have been the ticket for proportion wise. Ron does super work so this is going to be cool.

That's going to be one special boat.... Congrats!

That is awesome!!! Did you get any good hydrostream stories out of Howard? Thats awesome that you got him to sign it as well. I think that one is a keeper.

Cant wait to see it come together.

Boat arrived on time by a driver I found on U-Ship.com. Guy had awesome feedback and treated boat like it was his own.

Here's all the balsa and fiberglass stuff to re-core the hull. Also got lots of matching gelcoat.

Here's the bow area.

The floor in this hull only went to the edges of the tunnel. Gotta ask about this. Should go to the gunnels or "Chine" or the side panels won't attach to anything.

Boat looks MASSIVE next to the Viper.

Back home now. The Virage will stay in Washington and get worked on when were down there.
Next trip is planned late July or early Aug.

Thanks so much to all that helped get this put together.
