Paul, are those foot rests custom one-off? Where did you obtain them?

Looking for some for the Cougar but haven't found any that fit the bill

 

[NWFreerider]

Looking good. Should be done for a Xmas day rip!

Interior is done. Eddie and crew did a great job! Now we are getting ready to put it all together.

I Chose to go with some graphics from Gator wraps. Rather than painting the boat it just doesn’t make sense knowing that I only keep Boats for a certain amount of years and the next buyer may not like my wild colors so I kept it simple. Or if I get tired of the graphics I can just rip them off and start over.

There is an awesome freedom with that ! I’ve had great luck with their vinyl.

 

[AJ Hoffman]

Man that double stitch on the diamod interior really looks nice, well done on a epic build!! Would like to see finish pic of cock pit like the one above but with the flooring in it too. Thanks for sharing!!

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Great call on the graphics. I love the color combo you picked. You have to be chomping @ the bit to get her wet.

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Lol, I guessed that was the reason for the white boat...resale ease. Although, this one might win you over a bit longer.

 

[Done-it-again]

Saw this heading N bound on the 15.....Looking good!

Ready for you when you are! Boat looks fabulous!

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Looks great! Motor location looks to be closer to center than others. Curious to see if it provides a bigger number.

Very nice. How did you brace with windshield?

 

[Bullhead bully]

Very nice. How did you brace with windshield?

Haven’t finished that yet , had to get the interior / dash installed first It will be done by a self aligning pivoting powder coated aluminum bracket.

 

[Bullhead bully]

Final details before it gets picked up tonight and gets sea deck installed. Comes back by the house briefly for seats to be installed and then off to Havasu tomorrow night.

Someone asked if I was making a windshield support. When you have all the toys to make it it’s fun. The only limit is your imagination

 

[NWFreerider]

Bullhead, what company made that towing cover?

If I may. What exactly do you do for a living? Cool machines you have.

 

[YoPengo]

Congratulations... It looks amazing.

Mechanical engineers and metal manufacturing . I have a full CNC Machine shop to support our equipment.

 

[RCDave]

Congratulations Paul. Amazing boat you have there

 

[stoker2001]

OVER THE TOP Again..LOL

 

[Bullhead bully]

Thanks guys ! You really put the attention to detail into this build! More than any ever before! Really looking forward to putting some fuel through it tomorrow.

 

[HNL2LHC]

Amazing!

 

[War Canoe]

Maiden run ...

The Outboard Church loves its new toy.

 

[02HoWaRd26]

That’s an impressive number with nearly 100g of fuel and three people!!

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Incredible boat, nice job on the build.

 

[War Canoe]

That’s an impressive number with nearly 100g of fuel and three people!!

Fuel gauges were not calibrated... we put 182 gallons in the DW and ran those numbers. After this weekend, we need to pull the sending units out of the tanks and calibrate them properly. A few other minor details need to be attend to, but all went pretty well on her first run. It turns flat, rides over the rough like no other tunnel.
Holeshot is quick and effortless...and she looks mean on the water!

Holy hell so saying the number wasn’t right off the trailer that’s all of 1000+ lbs of fuel alone!!!! 1290# at the 182g

 

[J.P.]

Damn that's nice,..and fast. Congrats.

 

[Bullhead bully]

Today’s session....

Best day ever! We did it all!

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Props spinning in the best set up?

 

[Bullhead bully]

Bullhead, what company made that towing cover?

Undercover Canvas in Upland California. Eric Martin. Did a fantastic job! Over the top what a great guy

 

[Bullhead bully]

Props spinning in the best set up?

I’m not sure on that one yet. Try them out. Now trying the in. Both work well also has a lot to do with the weight in the boat. When you have 184 gallons and three guys feels one way when the boat has 60 gallons and two people is feels completely different. I’m not sure how it’s going to end up.

 

[Bullhead bully]

We do know the empty weight no propellers is 4730 pounds.

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Out will be the more stable set up for handling.

 

[lake p.a.l.]

My 308 had them spinning in when I bought it & we ran it that way for a few runs. The bow was more flighty especially in the big water. Changed them to spin out & I'm never going back. I believe we give up 1-2 mph max but I don't care about the big #, just want the safest boat possible in the shit water we see.

 

[AJ Hoffman]

Spin in is fastest, that's way I run.

 

[AZMIDLYF]

XCAT Doug Wright hull...400ROS, prop rotation, prop type.

Thank you! I plan on taking it up to the Delta.

4730 pounds is the final weight with stereo intercom complete.
No fuel no props.
No accessories.

Bully, the boat looked great in the build pics, coming together and in the shop...but in the water it is absolutely gorgeous! The rear 3/4 view is smooth/tapering to the waterline.

Surprised as hell at the weight totals, would think it would be considerably heavier. The speed attained seems pretty good for a shakedown run
