Very nice build. Fyi I have the same carpet in my benni, it cleans up really nice. I use a pressure washer in fan mode to get all the sand out. I have had my benni for 5 years and the carpet still looking new. I have 2 boys that don't care what they track in the boat.

Thanks guys,

Hey Ty,
I'm hoping to make it up to Wawasee later this summer once I get the motor to run properly. Still fighting the idle issue

Thanks. Still in process, but it's coming along

Got my inlet control valve installed. Should eliminate the fuel spitback issue :prayer

Also replaced the guide block for my shift cable. The correct one is supposed to have a jutout that hit's the neutral trigger switch so the computer can adjust some settings. The one on there did not have the right guide block. (top one is correct, bottom is what was on there.

So...... It's been a while.

I was blessed to become a father last year, so the boating summer never happened. The good news is..... we're all still alive!.

Just picked the boat up from getting the cover made, now it's sitting at the marina waiting to get the motor looked at. Right now it's about 3 weeks out, so it's 50/50 on whether it'll be ready for Memorial day weekend.

Also, got my aluminum underskinning made up that I'll put on once the motors fixed.

Here's a few pics of the boat with cover. And my wife and son.
