Default Launch day

The big day is looming fast

My brand new SX18 is going to be launched this comming Tuesday 18th March.

Good job it was not this week as there have been huricane winds in the UK... worst storms of the winter.

Pictures of her on her brand new roller coaster trailer are below.

FYI I have just posted a thread in the projects link on how I fitted her out with a VHF and Sat Nav.

To go with the new boat, I have also just got a Mercedes ML270 as well all change here!

Can't wait to see how she (StarGazer) goes. Weather forcast is good.... so far...

I will let you know how it goes... maybe some photos too.

Dave

    Hi bakdraft,

    She sure is a good looking ride! I know your going to have a lot of fun next week, we're planning on some water testing ourselves next week too!

    Saw your write-up on your VHF and Sat Nav, excellent work, and the pictures really pull it together!

    Have fun and don't go too crazy because I'll be looking for your review of the "StarGazer"!

    Bon Voyage,
    WetWilly

    Great News Bakdraft, congratulations !

    I called the dealer today and he confirmed mine should arrive within 3 weeks...... counting down like a little child now. I do hope the weather improves too, we're heaving the same weather in Belgium as in the UK and it is nowhere close to summer yet if you know what I mean.

    Hope to see a lot of pictures of this beauty

    Kind regards,

    il Mio

    Yes, awesome writeup! Thanks for that. I took the liberty of putting it into our Tutorials section because it was so well written and you documented the project so well. I've updated your links to reflect the changes.

    If anyone else out there has an install or project they are doing, we'd love for you to document it in detail with lots of pictures and detailed explanations and post it up in our Tutorials section to help out those doing a similiar project. I know i've got a couple more of my own to add so look out for those

    Thanks again for the writeup! It looks sharp as does your boat!

    Great looking Boat Dave, also a fantastic write up on your fitting of the VHF and GPS. Well done.
    Really looking forward to your photos of your first outing - good luck.
