My New 23' Has Begun!

I walked in this morning and she was sitting in the paint bay with her make up on! I chose the dark charcoal zolatone to contrast the aluminum.
Nelly, you talked me into the Shark Hide for all my exposed diamond plating! Thanks buddy.

From what I gather about SharkHide, the best long term plan is a maintenance program.
In other words, a yearly re-application will keep that diamond plate sparkling!!!
Send more pics when you get them Bro!!!

The boat has now been rolled into the rigging station. Alot of people ask me why I didn't go with a tiller control. Seriously, a 23' 10" open boat with a compact console conveniently placed near the transom is a handy application done right in my mind. I have owned open tiller sleds and yes, they are nice for maximizing room. I will say however that having that extra something to hold on to when running all day is nice. Notice the folding windshield for those extra freezing wet days. Easy flip up before you run upriver and easy flip down when you are ready to drift. Takes seconds!

Lookin good Danny Boy. What's up with the center console...what a wuss

What power are you slapping on the rocket ship? 150 E-Tec????

[cobble cruiser]

The 150 would work but I opted for the 200 HO etec.

Can't wait to fish out of that thing in the fall. You should leave off the guide stickers so you can go incognito in those places we talked about

You'll love the Evinrude 200 HO.
Sweet engine, amazing torque and that two-stroke "snap" that no four-stroke can come close to.
I think a center console is a worthy choice! Easier to operate, more comfortable, better location for electronics and more storage to boot!

Motors are mounted and the final touches are being applied...........Look out Skykomish! I'll post some finished product pics hopefully tomorrow!

[Nelly]

Wow Danny!
You'll be ready for the Skykomish opener on June 1! Here's hoping you cristen that ride with a little steelie and chinook blood soon!!!

The dream is now a reality. More pics to come June 1!
