Are you going to paint or gel the flake on your boat?  Would love to see and hear your process with that.  Looks very good with all you have done.  Jim.

Rigged and running by Halloween?  Really looks great.  Was that flake shot with a blue basecoat or intercoat clear?

Is that a v6 Mercury in the background by the color matched Corvette tow vehicle? Is that the power for this one?  Boat looks great

Super nice build. I have been thinking bout extending my strakes like that on my cvx. I'm curious to see how it effects the handling. I think it will be far more stable at higher speeds and not be so prone to fall off the narrow pad.
