Yes about 8 inches but it appears more than that as the hatch is smaller but its because of the lean and size of the rear seats. There definitely is more leg room the boat feels so big with the wide open side panels!

I have not been this high since high school lmao

 

[RodnJen]

Really good choices, looks fantastic!

Think how good that first crack of beer ( or soda, water, fireball, whatever!LOL) is gonna be once she hits the water! Good times!

I think thats the buzz we all chase. After all the headaches and preparation we do to just chase that damn good feeling of sitting there taking it all in.!:champagne:

I am using the newer m282 m262 fosgates. 4-8" two in those side panel pods and two in the box mounted under hatch. The 4-6.5 2 in each side panel. Then 2 12s jl subs. 3 pdx amps its gonna be clear as shit when im done!:skull. I heard. The fosgates in a wake boat and they are so clear its crazy and u can throw power at them!

Right on, the tentative plan is to head up to pirates sometime in the afternoon on Saturday. Hopefully I'll be able to check it out then !

Sounds good man hope to see u there and or in havasu sat am

 

[Hammer]

I can't get over how much more roomier it looks with the hatch being 8" shorter !

The cubby hole set up for the speakers and cup holders are tits ! I wouldn't be surprised if someone copies your interior set up down the road. (I want to lol )

Ya gotta love outboards ya got room to move. Ya I will take pics of the speaker pods up close tomorro once the speakers are mounted and not floating crooked. I cant say enough good things about danny at west coast.

 

[lavish62]

Nice build, and the interior came out great. I love what you've done throughout the whole build, simple elegance!

 

[J.P.]

I have been following The Great White Thread and your boat turned out really sweet looking, congratulations I'm jealous!:thumbup: Wish I had he coin to do mine.

 

[shippingguy]

Looks great man! I am very happy for you. I am glad Danny took care of you! I told you he would. Smart decision on putting a little money into this boat and not going out and building a new one. Smart move. Can't wait for us to run the families side by side on the river this summer.

Thanks brotha cant wait for summer and hanging out good times! Yep best decision I have made to keep it! Plus its nice not having a boat payment so I can buy something else instead lol

 

[Don Johnson]

Dustin, this has been an awesome build to follow. Boat came out awesome, looking forward to seeing it! The new motors and having backup is sweet, wish I had backups! Not only are you looking forward to using the boat with redone interior/exterior but you also get to enjoy new horsepower. What an exciting summer for you.

I am headed to AZ this afternoon, on the water tomorrow! Was on the water last Sunday, not many other boats and had a real nice run down from Willow to Topack, lets just say rarely came down below triple digits with a couple open areas where we were scooting along pretty good. Got to enjoy those moments cause summer traffic is coming soon.

 

[MissB]

I'm loving the new leg room, excellent job! Bad ass! Momma's gonna like her new chariot!

 

[gqchris]

Got to enjoy those moments cause summer traffic is coming soon.

That is the truth Don! The "River 405" officially opens up next week with Desert Storm. The mouth of the river up to pirates is going to be a shit show!

Thanks don so excited. Sounds like u had a awesome run man cant wait to run with ya or better said behind you lol

 

[plaster dave]

Your boat turned out so nice. Congrats.

 

[River Lynchmob]

That thing turned out sick. I know the high you are talking about...enjoy it...it's like a brand new boat. I have been thinking a bit lately about doing a twin rig cat and you just made me think a little harder...awesome job!!!

 

[Don Johnson]

I just relooked at the recent pictures, the side/gunnels came out unbelievable. That and pushing the rear seats back really makes the whole cabin area huge as well very nice details with the glove boxes, speakers and lighting. This is one of the best boat refreshes I have ever seen or heard of.

We too are looking forward to hanging out this summer! Have you been to Topock yet? We have been frequenting Topock a lot this year/late last year. The food is WAY better then Pirates and the whole open bar area/pool is a great way to spend a couple hours off the boat. Docking is a pain in the arse.... We will be spending more time at Topock this year vs Pirates. We also made numerous trips from Willow all the way to Nautical Inn and hang out at the Turtle bar/pool. That is a fun day and get to use the boat a lot, fuel gets a little pricey on that trip....

Thanks man I am a twin outboard for life guy lol

 

[Don Johnson]

Dustin, when this is done you should send some pictures to Dave and Tony at DCB, when people start seeing your boat, it is so nice, its going to create buzz for the Mach 26 and likely newly created demand. I could see DCB bringing back the Mach 26 based on how good your boat looks! Wonder if they still have the molds.

 

[rivergames]

I'm so fricking glad I didn't buy that 25 Daytona a few weeks ago. After seeing these pics, I would have dumped all my cash into new interior :eek

Looks really great man!

Thanks don ya the attention to detail on panels is amazing. Topock sounds good man never been yet lets go! Dcb does not have the molds anymore unfortunately.

 

[Sigus]

I think KMG has the molds for the 22 and the 26.


Love what you are doing to your 26. Mine is ready for some interior work.

 

[dschifan]

8" speakers under the hatch., whole stereo is in and it is wicked! The 8" rockfords are no joke I love them crystal clear!

Cran/Vods are for the ladies and you have to expect them to make your new boat look like a cocktail yard sale.

I'm really liking this thread. I hope to someday see your boat in person to check out the black windshield area you had redone. I've got a 22 with the black "tired" looking area as well. It seems to be fading a bit. I've tried the crystal cut polish and wax...didn't seem to help much. I'm going to need to do mine at some point and would love to pick your brain. Your boat is really turning out nice.
