Fantastic! Looks amazing! Out of curiosity how many hours would you estimate you've got into it at this point?

I would have to say I have around 70 to 80 hrs total. This one took more time due to the fact that I had to repair so many holes on the bottom of the boat.
 
A couple more action shots ...

Try window screening when making irregular shapes with fiberglass - gives a bit more uniform bend & has a little structure to it which makes the glassing process a bit easier so by the time you're bondo'ing you've got fewer low points to make sanding a b!tch.
 
I got the engine cowling finished. Sprayed it with the last bottle of T-Rex liner. It turned out great but after a day on the water we decided that it would look better if it matched the interior color so we changed the color to gray.

Well we got part of the polling platform already done mounted and painted. Still have to cut out the actual platform pad and bolt it down, I have a piece of 1/2" UHMW board that I am going to use for that. Here are the pics of it so far.

Well here is the update. This thing flies now, picked up 10mph on topend. It's bumping 40 now. We also upgraded the impeller as well, the stock aluminum impeller was wore out. New new solos unit made the hole shot on this boat unbelievable.
