Holy cats man! I think it should float (but maybe a little low in the water!) Looks like a solar oven though! I think I would have chosen a much lighter color - but then again, I have a black car, so who am I to say anything? It looks pretty cool!

Boy, there is a lot to do when you Think your finish.

Work on a boat never ends. But it keeps you out of the house.

You know I have inspected that rig very closely and have determent it will need some serious field testing , :D I will be by next week to pick it up.

Re: Will it float?

I started this project 2 years ago. Time passes fast when your having fun. That not good for old people. The inside is 95% finish. The boat has ac/heat, kitchen, full bath, sleeping beds, leveling styrofoam toons system in the rear, and light gauge galvanized steel floors covered in with plastic sheets then carpet. The back area and bath room floors are covered in vynl. And a bunch of aluminum panels both inside and out. Lots of Aluminum Diamond plate. My daughter wants me to call it Shootgun Willie because that is what her boyfriends called me when she was in school. ha ha and it worked. I will post the inside soon. Why black? because white reminds me of Hospital Ships . Its a old thing, what I was going for as far as looks, a 1957 2dr ht Black Chey.

The walls are 2 1/2" thick with aluminum black panels outside and white inside, ceiling and half wall with 1 1/2" Rmax insulation. Yes, I would really like to have that motor. I wonder how my 135hp will push it. Weigh day next week. The toons are 24" x 29' plus 6' more

The detail on the windows made a big difference. I have Maroon and dark blue decals stripes to put on the sides but I like it plain. Nice ride Hawker
