WoW. That looks great!

Is that a fiberglass floor liner?

Looks like custom sea deck to me, and it looks SICK!

Err or did you mean the deck under it? It's pretty white I agree....huh, IMO I'd rather have an actual fiberglass coated wood floor, with stainless inserts to mount on. All fiberglass would make it feel pretty 4 Winns to me..

I don't think you stick sea deck to a wood floor. So, it must be glassed then sea decked.... Would love to sea deck my 240, but need a glassed floor first. Would love to be a able to wash out the floor. Wouldn't even think washing my current teak and wood sub floor out with a hose.

Name was AJs doing not mine.
He thought he was being funny, 1 step forward 2 steps back.
Floor is wood, I don’t remember if glassed or not, and gel coated Ron’s did that work for me couple years ago now.
Idk why you had to zoom in on the custom pedal seadek, lol
that was extra material and difficult to normally see. Thought screw it, should feel nice on bare feet.
Yes stereo, you can see hole in side panel under bow. Intention is for everything to be hidden. I hate seeing speaker grills in any ride.

So much one off things in this boat 90% + of the boating world would never know the difference
Pretty much a schiada with a hallett plate, lol

Correct, everything hidden.
They’ll actually be false panels made in front of bulkheads later to hide those lines also.
Should be back together before desert storm. Finally
Just need to finish stereo, re adjust hatch to clear air cleaner, fine tune custom shifter

You should be very proud of what you’ve helped create. That is a beautiful Vector and will set the bar for those to follow. Nice job bud [emoji1303]

Don’t want to post to much, got to leave some pics and details for feature article later.
The topcat1 will be done in next couple weeks also. Pretty much complete rebuild of a semi recent rebuild by another member. Lol

listen man, its not a DCB ok...

I’m pretty sure AJ worked at DCB and helped create the anal environment for detail, lol
And this was still early stages I’m sure those have been adjusted since then 😂

Don’t be so confident, Iv got your dyno numbers. Unless you did more after dyno. My triple nickel may surprise you
If you win at least I’ll still have the sexiest loser, lol

Wait til you plop down in those full suspension seats.

Looks great. I can’t imagine how ready you are to have her on the water @Melloyellovector
Yes and no. Taken so long Iv lost the “feeling” if I wasn’t so deep into it I’d prob list it tomorrow. Lol
I’m sure that will change first time back in the seat. Plus considering running it in local ski races.
Moved on to the topcat re boot, took a semi perfectly fine ride, blew the shit motor that was in it. So started that journey end of last season. Re did damn near entire boat over winter.
Did gel, interior, motor, new style front entry, new style ice chest, new style hatch cover, rub rail, attempting to re do stereo system before actual summer too.

Between the 2 could have built a brand new dcb paid in full.

As you can see I have a make shit super nice problem.

A mixture of wires , hydraulic lines, etc. everything is hidden under floors and sleeved. It looks like all plumbing lines but it’s not. Originally was going in front of bulkhead but very limited space under floors beyond bulkhead.
There will be false panel made later in front of bulkhead making it all go bye bye
Daves two weeks or AJ's????????????
Yes
I’m running it by end of this month. Soooooo honestly neither of their 2 weeks, lol
