Oh I definitely think the shark teeth should stay. What is a great white without it's teeth? I may be a bit bias though. Look forward to mid channel next year and all the trips in between.

Very nice looking boat! One question I have is why you painted the sides? Most of the aluminums have bare aluminum with a decal...

I've always liked full painted hull sides on an aluminum boat. It's just personal preference and makes a nice background for a our sponsors logos ;)

Here's a little hole drillin' before....

I've been keeping my nose to the grindstone getting Great White ready for the Resurrection Derby and the Thanksgiving weekend and the Apple Cup didn't help my progress...

Having to shovel snow out of the boat this morning didn't exactly speed me up either,,, :shock:

The cabin of the boat would lead you to believe that I'm on the DeWalt Pro Staff... No such luck!

We now have operational electronics and downriggers! Here's hoping we have a successful sea-trial tomorrow! thumbup

Here's a little shot that indicates a HUGE step in the right direction.
We had a couple tweaks after today's sea-trial but we're ready for the Resurrection Derby!

Goodbye tools and cardboard boxes of parts... Hello rods, net and blackmouth gear!

We'll still have a few more installs after the derby but we're good enough to go fishin'! rockon

I want one! As a non famous sportsman, how much would this rig set me back? Course mine would have to be crimson & gray.
