New Boat Phase 1

[sclemons]

looking really nice Boatman
You must be having sleepless nights right about now

You are right! I was at Checkmate today. I got to pick all of the final trim and accessories and see what they look like on the boat. I also got to watch as they lowered the deck onto the hull and attatched it. I must send out a great big thanks to Wildman, Kip, Dean, Mike, Kenny(paint guy), and everyone else who has had a hand in this boat! It is flawless! Kenny turned the paint job into a true work of art. Other workers in the plant, including Kip and Dean, said that Kenny had really pulled one out of his hat on this one. Made me feel pretty good. Just a couple of things left to do and get to pick it up tuesday. Here are a couple more pic's.

Are you (boatboy01) really boatman4021's son?
Cool play on the sign in names

 

[boatman4021]

Yes, it's true, I am dad. Sounds like boatboy is inviting himself to miss a couple days work, make me drive 100 miles out of my way twice, and bump some people out of this trip that have never been before. Thanks son, but the factory is still in the same place as it was the last time you were there, so go ahead and work so I don't have to send more money!

I was wondering the same thing. Its different, but I'm kinda diggin it!!!

 

[wvugirl2103]

This is my newest "sibling" so to speak and i must say, that this one by far, is the best looking one yet!! cant wait til it gets home this week, although i know theres a bottle of wax with my name on it! cant let it make its debut dirty!

 

[boatman4021]

Will be spending monday night in Checkmateville and bringing the new family member home on tuesday!

 

[WILDMAN]

I'll be there Tuesday night and test driving my new red 28 OBX on Wednesday! Probably going to dinner and drinks with doug, Kip, and Dean

 

[boatman4021]

Just got into a motel in Bucyrus a few minutes ago. Here is a pic of the finished boat(minus lettering) that Kip sent me today.

 

[boatman4021]

Will post better pic's tomorrow night after I get home!

 

[keith4216]

I'm betting you get no sleep tonight and are up before the sun, waiting for Kip to open the door in the morning. I would be .

 

[boatman4021]

Yep! A tough night it was! But I am home with it now. Had to wait a little bit at Cmate. They had not put the lettering on yet. Wasn't 100% sure what would look best. Here are pic's of it the way it left the factory. They also gave me a set of smaller decals in case I get home and decide I don't like it. They were even nice enough to put horse head logo's on my wife's jeep before we left. Can't wait to get it rigged, I love this boat!

 

[keith4216]

Very Nice!

 

[WILDMAN]

Gary, the motor went out today. I'm up in Bucyrus now. Just went to dinner with the Checkmate gang.
