Picked the boat up yesterday from KMG, and WOW it turned out great, they did such a good job Im super pleased with it, We went with paint instead of gel as the pink we wanted was not coming out the way I wanted, the pink and blue look so much better in person, now its time to drill the fresh back transom, thats the part that is scary for me, View attachment 1410104 View attachment 1410105 View attachment 1410106 View attachment 1410107 View attachment 1410108 View attachment 1410109 View attachment 1410110

So I finally got some time to bring the boat back home and start some of the rigging, I have been in Glamis mode so that has been eating all my time up, I had all the hardware chromed or polished, I like the old school look, started with all the cleats and fender hangers, I also had to move the tank vents because of the new inside side gunnels, then moved to the trim tabs and new steering column and switch panels, put some of the interior in it to start the mock up for the shifters and cupholders along with speakers. I have decided that Im not going to hang the motors nor rig those as I don't have the time to get it done for desert storm, But I did set it to be done by my buddy Andrew who runs Interceptor boats in they are doing a great job out there, so hopefully it will go to him by late Jan early Feb.

Did you have the tunnel tabs before this upgrade started? If so, what were the benefits you saw and the reason for them? I have the same boat with 300X motors and I am thinking of adding these purely for planing purposes. With the 30P 4 blade bravos it takes forever to get on plane.

Do it. I tried driving my boat without the tabs to get on plane and it really sucks. You wont regret it.

Yes had them before just for planning, never have to use them while running
