Best seat in the house! Finally got the front deck finished.. I still have a lot to do but it's slowly coming together.

I was gonna chime in and suggest you raise the transom back to original specs but I see you already did that and it looks beeeeutiful. You will not ever regret doing that
Extra 4-5 inches at the transom makes for good peace of mind. Nice job.

Today I played hooky from work and stayed home so I could paint the boat. Gotta love having paid vacation haha. Anyways I got her sprayed, now for the paint to cure and apply the registration decals etc and then I'll get better pictures. So stoked and I can't wait to get on the water!

Well I didn't let the paint cure very long, August 28th a few friends headed to Houston with their boat and I followed in their footsteps the 29th. They were able to help with evacuations the 30th but when we joined them that evening they had just wrapped up evacuating the area they had been working in. We ended up staying in that area and helping the Harris County Sheriffs Office with water patrols to keep looters at bay and the second night we got to take The National Guard out which was interesting. Didn't really get many pictures the second night as we were actually responding not just patrolling. We had grabbed a small 15hp Yamaha on the way down and grabbed some light bars from autozone. The boat definitely received a few scars but it was the least we could do for Houston. Below are some pictures of the trip.

Boat turned out real nice. That's cool you went to Houston to help out. If I hadn't torn my boat back apart I would've went down.
