Very exciting moment for sure, thanks for sharing in it.

That is one large electronic Christmas tree you have on the radar arch, what all are you doing with it, does that arch fold back?

All the best!

I like the boat and hull color too.
Are those underwater lights at the transom?
I saw they seemed to change colors too.

Great color on the hull. Definitely an attractive boat.
You were looking for destinations to cruise to while you get used to her, you should come visit us at Brownsville. We have a deli with beer on tap and live music many Fridays, and very competitive prices at the fuel dock.

Wifey B: A+ to the boat. A+++++++ to the drone operator, especially negotiating the bridge.

Certain boat colors look good on land but really greeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaatttttttttt on the water. Yours is one of them. It just looks so classy cool on that boat.

My favorite little add on when we optioned the boat were the Lumitec SeaBlaze X lights!!!
Kinda tacky but lots of fun and now that we are officially powerboaters...

Wifey B: I remember when we were building and one of the questions was on accent lighting and it had two check boxes, one for white, one for blue. I wrote in, "YES, and MORE".

This is a longish story but I will give you the condensed version here.
The arch in fact does fold over. It was designed for a single radome and TV antenna on center. When the electronics guy began assembling all of the various antennas onto the arch I wondered if we might modify it to hold both a real tv antenna and an empty dome to house the various gps antennas.
We decided to do this and it looked great but... the tv antenna would ocasionally get into the shadow of the radar radome and fail to lock.
We decided that since we already had the new dome pads, we'd just add a third empty dome to keep it looking balanced and move the working dome back to where it was designed to be placed.
Thus 3 domes...
I actually like the look!
Bruce
