I finally got the boat home last weekend, and took her out and just now getting around to posting my pics. There's still a few things the dealer has to fix/replace, but they are minor and I'm making them work for their money. :lol3

Cool pic of the under skin and trailer guides. Love the guides on my trailer!

Tried to get a pic at night of my interior LEDs but my camera is not so great at catching dim lighting...

Looks to be a very plush interier... But is it me or the camera angle that makes the driver's cockpit look very cramped to the point that the seat can't swivel?

Thanks guys! The seats on this boat are more comfortable than my LA-Z-Boys inside the house. I almost want to start hanging out on the boat after work instead of inside. But I'm sure my neighbors would probably judge me if I did.

Teecro, good observation! The actual cockpit space is quite comfortable. However, I do have the seat all the way back for maximum leg room (I'm 6'1-ish) and it just barely fits in there enough to swivel.

Well I'm 6'2"-ish and more or less built like a polar bear so I notice the creature comforts that affect me most.... As to hanging out on the boat I don't blame ya as I have...

Ahh, well the good news is, the arms on the chair go up and down. So even if it didn't swivel, it's super easy to get in and out, and then the cockpit also has a indent for feet space which is quite nice!

Thanks! It's a 115. I tell myself "I bought a pontoon to float, not fly" :rofl

Thanks guys! I definitely love the 'toon! Can't wait to take it out to the river and adventure to Havasu this summer.

I've been able to hit 29MPH with 3 adults and 3/4 tank of a fuel. I'm thinking with a little bit of adjustments, trim, and motor height I could make that 30MPH

Yeah, I don't get why they don't. It's a nice feature!
