Instrument Cluster is installed. Notice speed control system and remote radio controls (only on dash, not on stern.)

The boat goes into the water for the first initial test sometime tomorrow and I should hopefully have pictures after that event. That should make the boat close to completed with shipping coming next.

Wonder how long it takes to get from Abilene to Knoxville, TN.?

The local dealer is getting the trailer from a different supplier than Tige uses. It will be a fitted trailer with dual axles, disc brakes, foldaway tongue, and LED lights.

Thanks for posting the images Ray. I can already smell the "new boat fragrance". ;)

Ah yes, I can also almost smell the new boat. Tempered with the long time stench of new boat payments.:p

I think it will stop off in Nashville for a week for a good breaking in.

Hah! It will be on a truck so you would have to find a way to unload it, put it on a spare trailer, and then get it back on the truck.

By then I will have found out about your misdaventures and will make the 2.76 hour trip to Nashville and will beat your knees to a pulp for fondling my new toy before I get a chance.:p

How many people live in Auburntown? I looked on the map and you are not too far from Nashville and Murfreesboro. Where do you do most of your boating?

And oh yeah, you ain't gettin' your grubby paws on my new boat either.:p

I have a new 22v trailer with nothing on it and that farmer guy is big and strong and likes to hunt.

Uh-oh. I may have to fly to Abilene and personally accompany my boat to it's final destination. I can get one of those armored trucks they use around Oak Ridge for transporting nuclear materials. Maybe then the boat will be safe.

And a couple of quarts of mysterious clear liquid in mason jars stashed in the ice chest.
