Wow, just one thing, with that beautiful rub rail I'd be afraid to get near a dock with it. Absolutely incredible job.

And it looks like she floats and on her lines! Always an auspicious sign at a first launch.

Nice Job!

Time to end the thread and move on....
Thanks to all who have followed our progress and/or lack of plus all the kind words and encouragement.
So far all is working great.
The only 'major' problem was the AC condensation drain wouldn't drain to the shower sump. I had to raise the AC unit up 3/4" to get it to drain. With temperatures over 100 this week I also added insulation to the duct work to eliminate some condensation there.
Took a 3 hour boat tour yesterday. Engines and systems worked as planned.
Rudder position on the Simrad AP is a big plus!

Fair winds and following seas.

You being an experienced tractor operator and all, the question begs to be asked.........Was this subsidized by the Government?

Beautiful boat! Is it a home made, or a restoration? If a resto what make/model. Either way nicely done she’s got beautiful lines. As a marine mechanic I can say you take some pride in your boat! An engine room says a lot about a boater.
