Changed the speaker pods a bit. Spread out the transition a little further for a softer look. Now for the fun stuff sanding fiberglass and glazing. Hoping to be in paint Monday.

It does for sure. Im sure if your like me, already your thinking of how you could have done it different with more improvement or features.

Thanks,
Can't really say I'd change much. surprisingly This one was planned, designed and lay-out how I wanted and as it turns out it's just what HowardZ320 wanted too. so the 1st one is going to be his. Howard has kinda found me a side jig for my off day from the dept.
I'll have to get mine going (again :-) asap as our season starts here in just a few weeks.
Swim platform is going thru a redesign going to be 6" longer and put it on a lil diet changing to larger flat tube for more comfortable walking area and fewer tubes.

Ryan,

The radar arch looks incredible. You have definite talent. I've actually considered buying a newer boat w/ an arch and getting rid of my Mariah for the very reason that it is archless. I would be very interested in one for my Z302 in the future if you would be willing? Again, very impressive work. Thanks for documenting it.

Well its in primer now more sanding and more sanding and more sanding.
Call me anal but there's only one was I can do things for me and sometimes it's so time consuming but the end results pay out.
As you can see in the pics it's a little rough still and the guys at the shop thought it was so smooth it's would be and easy paint, but I'll be sanding for a day or so still.

I think Rynovw needs to start making these in batches of 5's....lol
Out of curiosity, how much does the arch weigh?

I do have a buddy that owns a crating company and he ships any and everything you can think of. So getting one to you wouldn't be hard the Oregon :). Hard part is building more with it being almost time for season and building arches instead of using it. Lol.

"5" !!!!!!????? The boss would hang me for sure. Not getting home till 11-12 each night she's ready for this one to be done. No she's amazing and supports me in everything, heck she's the one who bought me this boat.

Andy ill weigh it again but it was 45# before the last layer if fiberglass.

Hmmmmm

Just for giggles, id be interested in finding out a price to get it here and you can PM a price to build one if you like. Im not in a hurry, in fact next winter would be fine as well.
