AWESOME! I love Mel's new sandwich and pizza cooler. We'll throw those stinky fish in the Yeti, but keep her sandwich fixin's in that shiny new box! That's the best eatin' fishing boat I've ever been on.

Flipped it
 

Looking great!

Looks awesome. Did you ever consider adding a Seafari cabin top to give a little more under deck headroom when camping?

Making progress...

I am getting ready to get that molding and reseal one side. Robert at Precision Marine is doing a great job, btw. He is installing the color Zuke gauge and trading out the monochrome one. I have to say, CSC is rock solid for referring quality guys in the marine business. Steve at Intl Marine shipped Robert the gauge at no charge because of an agreement Mike/Steve and I had 18 months ago at the time of sale! Solid Suzuki service.

We are very lucky in Florida to have such a good Suzuki dealer network. I can't say enough good stuff about International Marine and Robert at Precision Marine. Price, quality and service.... who could want more in an engine. Also, I hear Suzuki has a big announcement coming soon on June 11th.

I hear that the Yamaha R&D guys ordered a big shipment of Depends underwear, lol. Could be the biggest projectile shot across their bow ever......after their theft of OMC patents back in the day, it will be nice to see.

Hull s now in 3 coats of hi-build Awlgrip primer very similar to the shade of the finish coat.

Hummmm.......I heard the announcement has something to do with the number "350".

I knew you were waiting to pull the trigger on something bigger;)

I believe it will go bigger.

Don will have the first 350 on a SeaCraft
 

We need a 350 on a 23! Ken, that extended cuddy is the bomb!

The current 300 should push the revamped sled well above and need for speed I envision. I am thinking the all composite build will likely yield a dry weight under or at least equal to the weight of a stock cc.

The increased bow to helm length is certainly my favorite mod of the whole build. I didn't think it would have ever improved the ascetics as much as it did. What was done just to improve ride has drastically improved the overall lines of the hull layout. I couldn't be happier.

I'm thinking the way to go is max it out to the original specs on the below information.....400 hp. I bought some really sweet lotto numbers, I should be good to order one by Saturday.

The lines are much nicer now. Sleek Sled.

I think you will have to wait a year for the 400+ versions. The "rumor" is the first offering will be in a naturally aspirated 350. We will all know June 10th.

I think the wait for a 400+ version will correspond with my wait to win the lottery!

I really like the move of the cabin and the built in ice chest Ken. Actually makes the front more useful than just storage. What have you decided to use for flooring, I know it will take a beating with tanks, spear guns, etc.? SeaDek would look nice! Looking real sweet!!

SeaDek and other products don't fair well to the abuse and rigors of diving and spearfishing. The entire deck is 3/4 nidacore and is well proven as durable decking for commercial spear boats so that's what I went with. The good thing is that the gelcoat used is user refirbishable. When it gets messed up I just roll on a new coat.

Final coat on with inlayed bootstripe to follow.

Dang Ken that's way too pretty!!! Makes us slackers on boat repairs look really bad!! :)

Wow - that is NICE!!!!
This is well on its way to becoming the best tricked out Tsunami ever...

Can you tell me about the layup schedule on the nidacore deck?

Great color MOOOOOSE.

2 layers of mat top and bottom is amazingly strong and should do for most decking. 3 layers up top make it Moose Proof....

Mel picked the color of Kingston Grey in Awlgrip. 2 coats base with 3rd coat 50/50 base/clear and a final coat clear. Should be pretty durable.

Looking great Ken!

The helm seat looks comfy!

1 1/2 oz mat or 1708?

Nothing is Moose Proof!

Fitted the windshield today. Was a little worried about fit due to all the cap mods but all bolted in great. The longer bow really has changed the overall look.

Bracket Installed
 

Does this new bracket make my ass look big?

Good progress today...

Moose's Creation
 

Hey Moose-
Have been watching your project. It is shaping up beautifully. Think you have it at Homosassa in Sept? Would love to see it!

She should be well broke in by then. The windshield and top should be on her by tomorrow night and then the wiring and plumbing begin.

Sweet!

It's a boat again....

Very nice

Look at Mel, already making it even more pretty!!! :)

Perfect!

The lines look great.

Moose it turned out great !!!

Looks Good!

Is that a Rusty sighting? Must be my eyesight going bad!

Very Nice! Hope to see it at the Scallop weekend.

Very special
