with as modern and futuristic as the seats and sidepanels look, it makes the dash and steering wheel look pretty boring and 80's looking.


Thanks for your constructive input into this guys project and pride and joy;).....remember, if you can't say something nice....:rolleyes:

Love that upholstery work. Beautiful boat that obviously a lot of thought and planning has gone into.

Was this boat sitting over at Quality Performance Marine in Corona about 2 weeks ago?

Wow. Beautiful Boat!!! I am biased but I love the 26 Shadow Deck. It is the best of both worlds, sporty, great lines, and room for the crew! That is the sickest one I have ever seen. Congrats on building a bad azz boat.

Well we finally had a chance put the boat in the water & to do a pre run before desert storm.

Big thanks to everybody that helped to build this boat: John D, Danny, Joel, Quality Performance Marine, Chris, and a bunch of people whose names I don't know but I appreciate the work they did.

Also of course John West came through many times on this project, from the original drawings to setting up the test run. Big thanks for sure!

Last weekend Jason and I had the enviable task of making sure everything was working properly - It also looked like the perfect time to take a few photo shots of the boat while it was in the water. Jason invited a friend to pose for a few shots, here is a preview of Jason at work. I'm sure he will create more cool videos and stuff with the footage and I cant wait to see what he comes up with.

I cant wait for desert storm and to really get to have fun in the new boat!
