Looking good there PM and BWV.

Can't wait to see it for myself in real life!

Good thing I did not pass you on the freeway as the other cars around me would not have been safe :blue-biggrin:

[Gareth1]

Hi Plasticman. Its really looking good. I will have to come around and take a look.Hope you enjoy every moment spent on it.

[Southpaw]

Awesome stuff Plasticman and BWV. You must be proud of your work.

I vote PM gets the number 1 tag for the first MT so everybody can get a good look at her.

[Navrik]

I second Southpaw's vote.

The effort Plasticman put in to create this beauty deserves a serious applause :eusa_clap:

[Bergie]

I reckon he sould get it as well....mainly because he normally rides around in circles trying to get rid of his hangover in the morning....this lasts for about an hour....SO no problem.... :blue-badgrin: :blue-biggrin: :blue-lol:

[Shannon]

Guy's I just can't describe the feeling.

I think Shannon will know what I'm trying to say.

Congrats on a job well done, boat looks lovely.

Have you stopped grinning yet????

Don't let that boat become camera shy now, ya hear.

Thanks guys for the lekker comments.

OK,so the pressure is on to launch at the money trail.it will be her maiden launch,so no mistakes,today I checked wheel bearings,livewell pumps,piping,filled the live wells,still no leaks,great,my motor mack buddy came around at 21:30 this evening to set up the motor.this motor was last started 8 months ago,when the project started,

ok so fuel pi^#ed out the pump,replaced gasket.fuel came out the choke-replaced "o"ring.started motor,she purred like a kitten,except worn shaft on one butterfly.

OK,so how much.this dude said-Mal for you a new set of 115 carbs would be free. :blue-biggrin: I was as happy as pig in shit.I must just make a bracket that holds the two control cables in place.

So guys I am doing everything that I can to prevent any form of embarrasment at the moneytrail.The ideal scenario would be a launch a day or two before,but I'm just too busy.

Cheers for now
PM :blue-biggrin:

[Navrik]

Eish I am almost as excited as you :blue-biggrin:

[BoatWrapperVincent]

why dont you test it on saturday before the money trail...?

[plasticman]

Vincent,only if I sleep over,not in the budget to go backwards and forwards.This project has averaged out about 2k a month.Totaling 16k,and not finished paying for certain things :blue-biggrin:

But I am thinking on it.

Ok Guys, This is the final report.

A huge thank you goes out to my sponsors, one of which STAF-PRO is now a money trail sponsor as well. A special Thanks to VEGA Graphic’s, Vincent you guys are awesome.

This project was not easy, but very enlightening, life changing you might say. The low of this project was about a month after I had started, I went for a check up concerning headaches, and ended up with the news (you have a tumour on the front left side of your brain). I am dealing with it in my way, and I would like to remain that way.

Guys it is life changing believe me. But on the sunny side, all the friends I have made with this project, the calls saying keep up the good work. It all helped, thank you.

Special thanks goes out to BFSA-you guys roll and roll well.

No need for anymore pics,you have seen them all, thanks for the you-tube clip Shane, it added a nice touch to the end of the project.
