One of the nicest boats I've seen. When Carson works on a V drive it always comes out nice. Flipping beautiful boat.

Just to drive this home a bit, I shot pics of this boat at Islander Marine, its flawless, best I've ever seen. Here are a couple of pics that are almost able to convey how straight and clean this hull is without actually seeing it in person. The reflections tell the whole story, they dont pop out of the mold like this, not by a long shot. This hull has been massaged to perfection, I can only imagine the finished product seeing who else has had there hands on it. This is "The 24 Shiada" to have.:thumbsup

Yes, I know Ricks had some other stuff going on outside the marine industry but it's business as usual at Islander.

Not to hijack the thread on this beauty, but is it just me or do picture take extremely long to load off the site? If you I've been sitting here for a good 3 minutes for that page to load, if you don't wait and scroll beyond a picture that hasn't loaded it also screws you all up by scrolling the page on you....

Just wondering if anyone else has that issue with the site?

It's because it's loading several 100 pictures on the first page.. If it was the usual 10 - 15 - 30 pics it wouldn't take that long.. I was uploading between 10 - 20 pics per post. It's a lot of data to move. Most of it is due to your download speed though not the site.

What's weird is that when the images are hosted externally like on imgur, they load in the snap of a finger....
