Well, the boat is over at Hampton Trailers right now having the trailer built. Hopefully I will have the boat back in about 2 weeks and we can start putting all of the plumbing and electrical in it. :)

Any updates on this beast yet?

Trailer is done and have the plumbing all ready to be installed. I am just in the middle of dealing with the County of Orange on our new building so unfortunately this project has not progressed as fast as I had hoped. Hopefully by 4th of July in the water.

What's going on with this thing Danny?

Working on the plumbing slowly, but surely. I just finished up one Magic and I have two more right behind it. Working on the V-drive any opportunity I get a second. Unfortunately right now, there have been very few seconds available.

As a matter of fact, I worked on it today. Plumbing this thing is a PITA! Waiting on a new sea strainer from Rex to come in before I can complete it.

It is getting there slowly, but surely. :)

It is just sitting in my shop under a cover. I havent touched it since I picked it up from Prime Marine. I have a bunch of other things going on right now that takes all of my time and $. Realistically, it is going to be a project for next winter.

I still have the jet boat. Everything else has been sold.

Are you laying up any hulls for people and letting them rig them on their own? I remember you had an ad in the spam section a while back

Is nothing in production because you have not received any orders? I like this thing. Would like it in all red.

With the way the economy is, there are no orders being placed. If someone places an order, i can have it in the mold within a week. Right now i am not building ANYTHING for stock. Until the economy changes, everything will be custom built.

Whoever hands the check over first wins. ;)

Is this the same one that was at your shop when we had the bbq? If so, I couldn't take my eyes off of it. She's a beaut.

Yep. The very same one. Still sitting in the same spot you saw it last.

If the economy keeps up you may have the first red one. Doesn't mean I am still not going to try to get one first.

Who ended up getting this boat? It would be nice to hear what has happened to it in the last four years.

Would be cool if one of his buddies picked it up and finished it as a tribute to him.:thumbsup

A tribute?

To who? Danny?

He said he was going to finish it when the econ got better.

Wow, yea saw that.

I will miss him, Christie and I were just talking about the vdrive boat and what were were going to do for a family barge when the time comes.

Christie rides his Banshee we bought from him several years ago.

i'm always on the hunt for the next boat, and just as i think i've found a potential boat, i learn i'm only seeing this thread because he just passed away. the industry lost a great builder.

i never knew him, but i'm sure this is brutal for all those who did.

sorry for all y'alls loss. RIP.

Most definitely Danny is a river legend.
His passing hurts so much.
