[smitty]

HCM - don't be afraid to finish and deliver this one, it will essentially be driven by a little old lady to church on Sundays.

This boat is looking sharp!

Fly & Icy

(slang, look it up)

[Lincoln]

Dibs on the first scratch.

[Idamainer]

Why is there a seat belt?

[Benny]

Some driving styles need seat belts!

[viking]

Because HCM is actually supposed to be HCMA (Hells Canyon Marine Aeronautics).

[Ahusk]

Why is there a seat belt?

Because with a stick steer there is nothing else keeping the driver from flying through the windshield.

[chariotdriver]

Finished out great! Look forward to seeing you on the river; what is to become of the NB?

[viking]

Almost certainly sell. Hardly a scratch on it, so should bring top $.

[smitty]

Don't sell NB just yet: If the HCM doesn't perform, you can still swap in the 460 / Berkeley

[waylon]

nice to her finished up.

[BigCSS]

Is it getting side sliders or canvas/clear snap in sides?

[smitty]

Likely Lexan sliders... just guessing

[viking]

Indeed, lexan sliders (with custom anti-flex bracing)

[lovetheedge]

Very nice can't wait to do a run with you and the new boat.

[smitty]

What did you say about hoity toity pantograph wipers? They are like a drug that we crave.....

[viking]

Boat received. Runs well on flat water. Stirred up some waves and ran over them smoother than expected. This may result from the relatively gradual rise to the bow. Because I'm accustomed to an iron big block and saddle tanks, I was concerned that the boat might ride "bow too low." But it's riding about right with 1/4 tank of fuel in cross tank. About 48 mph top speed. It has more extras than specifically detailed in the contract, which is nice. So far things are looking good. White water testing has yet to happen. No dents yet.

[Smoke]

Well I'll go ahead and ask. When and where will you be testing in the frothy stuff?

[viking]

Probably Hagerman in a few weeks or something. (Gotta get all of my ducks in a row.)
