This is the drawing of what we are taping. The boat will be shot next week and should be out of the mold in a few weeks. It is being built for our new dealer/distributor Ultra Custom Boats Midwest. It will be done for Desert Storm. He plans on coming out to Desert Storm to pick it up. Baby Blue will also be at Desert Storm this year as well as the orange 344 and possibly a new 23 Shadow and new 22 Stealth.

I still hand draw these boats, so the graphics don't really look that good compared to the guys that do them on the computer, but the final product should look pretty good.

I'll post pictures of the build as it comes along.

If this new Midwest dealer works out, give me a call and I can quote you/him transportation costs.

John, the boat looks beautiful. Nice job!

Also, anyone can draw on a computer.

Thanks everyone.

I'm still digging holes for a living.

I just help out with the design and build of the boats. Mike (Shipping guy) handles most of the boat stuff.

Only building a few boats a year now, but planning on growing this year.

It's for a customer back East. All metallic candy orange to match his Lamborghini (no graphics). The interior is going to be bone white with black triple stitch.

Any pics of the 344 finished? I was watching the progress of the build and looked like it was coming along very nice.

Thanks King Dave!

John has been slammed with this newest build and work, but I think he's planning on having a 344 at Havasu for those who have inquired. ;)

Why do you have that boat in your avatar? Do you own it now? ImageUploadedByTapatalk1360468614.709376.jpg

I did, yes. I got it back in late 2011 and had a full inspection done. Besides one small grind spot on the bottom and some 'switching power' damage in the bilge it's perfect. I put a 525 in it and ran it all last year around LOTO, Ouachita & Hamilton. Absolutely stunning boat, but I had an offer I couldn't refuse at the Shootout. I've talked to the new owner and he wants to make the trip to Desert Storm this year.

Here's a few from Loto

That boat was always stunning in person. My wife cried when I sold it, lol.

I COMPLETELY understand. My wife is still in mourning, so that's why I'm building another. Bad thing is that 'Baby Blue' is 2 shops over from me, so we still see it almost everyday. I probably put 70+ hours on it in two months hammering it on Loto. The ride is what got us hooked. Nothing like walking over 5 footers while the V's are holding on for dear life. :cool

This is going to be a very nice 27 when finished. Hopefully a 344 soon after will be built for Ultra Midwest. Like JW said the 22 Stealth is a customer build, but if interested in building a new one you can contact me and we can go over any questions you have. We are really focused on the quality control and rigging on the new boats. Like JW said we plan to not build too many boats (economy will help with that):D. I am excited to get some new builds and start posting updates as we have them. Cannot wait for DS.:thumbup:

Hide that trailer! RD is gonna kick someone's ass if he sees that!

Boat looks AWESOME as always. Ever since Froggy built "On The Rocks" with you guys, I have paid a bit more attention to your gel, and it always is just a bit nicer than everyone else.:thumbup::thumbup:
