Like Bulldog, you're giving me Big Boat Fever.

Great Job! Can't wait to see the boat and talk with you about your build at G4.

Congratulations Dave! Now you are "officially" launched. :D
Nice job on the video. Gail needs to put that on her facebook page :idea:
looks like lots of fun skiing and boarding... what did you use for a tow point?

Thank you Billy

My son is little frustrated that he did not have the image stabilization on the camera but it still came out good. We can always reshoot segments.

Regarding the pull point. I ordered the pop up pylon from Chapperal. I built "Fort Knox" underneath the rear deck and believe it would be easier to pull the bow hook thru the exhaust trumpet than move that pylon. It is ANCHORED!!

I really appreciate the support. I took much inspiration from your work.

I am very impressed and somewhat envious. Can't wait to get my Gentry in the water. Stunning job!

Call it creating an opportunity. Ask my about the name and you opened the door.
