Still a long ways to go but more progress was made today. The airbrush work really adds to the detail.

JP , I really thought those hulls were the catsazz right out of the mold . But I have to say you really have taken that one to the next level .. in structure and simplistic eye popin graphic design ...

**Just Tool'in** · 04-07-2018, 09:24 PM

Looks really sharp Joe! Your gonna have a hard time figuring out which boat to take for a spin soon! Let me know if you need help! LOL!

**JPEROG** · 04-07-2018, 09:37 PM

I'm not selfish Steve. You are welcome to run one when ever you want but I have to get them to the completion line first. This boat is going to be special because my wife is actually excited about using it "that is a welcomed change that I have never experienced".

It took me a long time to get her to where she was comfortable riding her own motorcycles "dirt and street" but afterwards it was so nice having her able to relate to one of my life long passions. I think your first step is to get her in something that she can sit next you in. Second step is getting her behind the wheel and hoping that she falls for the rush as we have.

Fist picture is me driving, second is her driving on the way back in. This is was the day that I bought the boat.

Thanks for the advice! Been married 38 yrs and working on 39th come Oct. Had 3 different side by side cats before the argo, same results. Havent tried to get her to drive as she just doesn't like speed. Water or pavement. BUT she's a keeper!

**AZMIDLYF** · 04-08-2018, 06:36 PM

I guess so and you must be a decent catch as well.

Congrats on the 38.

You obviously have it worked out. Not many couples can call off those kind of numbers and still get to have fun
