Losing Sleep over boat!

That's awesome JP. Don't forget to update us when it gets there. FWIW I felt the same way last night and all of today because I know I'm off the next 5 days and will spend a lot of time on the lake starting this afternoon as soon as I get home from work. That was enough to get me all wound up. :)
 
The Eagle has landed!!!!:bigthumb::bigthumb::bigthumb: My 2800SX arrived at 5:00am!! I can finally get some much needed :sleep:tonight! I've got my work cut out for me.. Here's the boat getting it's first bath in 7 years!!!! I'll get more pictures this weekend at this new project begins!

Great to see the boat at its new home. Now the real fun begins. Cant wait to see it rigged and on the water.
 
Congrats!!! Can't wait to see the boat come to life once again.:thumb: How's the trailer, looks like you got some surface rust from the pictures?
 
After a long 1st day of working on my new project...I can finally say I got a much needed night of sleep:sleep:. The wheels turning in my head finally shut down and let me rest:thumb:! I've restored quite a few boats in my lifetime but this boat has me more excited than ever before:drool:. The long sloping deck with the cockpit moved all the way aft gives it a great muscle boat look. Better yet, the boat is big enough to get offshore and run but still small enough to handle by myself:thumb:! The icing on the cake was how easily my Hummer H3T pulled the boat...with a 4400 pound towing capacity I was a bit concerned. The tripple axle trailer tows like a dream!!:surf:
