Wow. Incredible piece all the way around. I have snap in carpet in my Daytona and have been toying around with the idea of sea deck. I wasn’t 100% sold, but am now closer to 98% thanks to this build!

Came out rad!!! I can’t remember, did you have the hull recessed for plates or were you going to run tabs if need be. Love how clean this thing is

I did. I put a filler plate in until I decide what I'm going to do.

I'll either make cav hardware, Install Lenco tabs, or do nothing at all!

I need to get lots of seat time in her and know exactly what she wants.

Congrats, that is a bad ass ride.

Love the dolly style trailer too. Kind of a hybrid. Can you share details on it? This would be something that I could definitely use.

Mike Livingston moved to Idaho a while back. He used to make lots of trailers for Schiada and still has the templates. I sent him the rims and tires and he worked his magic and created an awesome trailer! Then I had it shipped to my shop here in Gardena on a flat bed

Games can you load a picture of two of the trailer Mike built?? The first picture you loaded made it difficult to see the wheels, etc. I know a lot of guys would like to see what you guys came up with. ;) Mike Livingston is a cool dude. If anyone else needs a quality trailer, I highly recommend him. Knowledgeable and down to earth. ;)

Mike is a bad ass with trailers. I appreciate you sharing.

Why the tiny wheels? I get dolly trailers where they need to fit inside of a covered trailer and are towed 20 feet to a launch ramp, but that thing is still 80" wide... Dont they spin at like 3 billion rpm on the freeway? Are there lights on that bar thing that hangs off the back? Do you have to remove it when you launch the boat? What do you do with it when its off? Set it on the side of the road somewhere and pick it up when the boat is off?

In process of a trailer re-do, wondering why everyones going dolly style other than looks.

I tow the crackerbox at 80 down the freeway on the dolly with 0 issues for 8 years. No lights on the protection bar. Just reflection tape. It can easily be removed, but why? When launching, the trailer sinks and the boat floats. As long as the nose it winched to the bow rest, then the motor is safe when the boat is pulled out of the water. Tires are DOT and the rims sit on 5 bolt hubs.

Wow man...

I really wanted to go for a ride in Paul's OB but he sold it before I had a chance.

Lemme know when that thing needs a full tank of gas. Ill be happy to throw down for a ride in that thing.

Congrats!

What do you expect to run on the big end when it's tuned RG?

Thanks guys!

She had 0 issues all weekend. That felt damn good!

I was playing around with the Jack Plate and Trim seeing what she liked running at with the Bravo 21 prop that I borrowed.

I was a bit tied up and used the boat mostly to have a bitchen weekend at The River. This weekend, I will borrow some props from my buddy to see what it likes!

It was fun driving this bad boy and pulling Andrew skiing. The boat has way more torque than my 300xs. Its super neck snappy and turns on a dime. I'm excited to try some new props this coming weekend, I think getting the bow up a little more will do wonders for this boat.
