Kaneboats

Yea, I need to take lessons on the whole mounting and wire hiding part.  The Exile black looks super cool in your boat and I know first hand that it sounds great.

Board Koozie.  I like it!  Need a matching one for your beverage.

Gorgeous and comfy.  Really like it.

Thanks!  He's the youngest of 6 and loves riding as much as all the rest put together.  Last week we forgot to throw the sukg8 in the boat and had to run listed.  I truly forgot how much difference it makes in the surf wave.  I won't forget it again.

Outstanding write up.  Are there any symptoms or indications of failure other than increased water in the bilge?

Congrats on the NEW boat!  Looks incredible.  By the way, that could be my garage.  

Well, you certainly answered the question about thickness! 

Were you worried about the pump sucking the lines closed or were you pretty confident the 2.5 CFM pump would work well with those lines?  I wonder if I would need heavier hose in the FL heat that would probably soften them.

"Well thought out" seems to be an understatement.  Love the details like drilling the pan to get a decent oil drain line.  So many things can just get overlooked and then you have those forehead slapping moments.  I hope the hull is worthy of this baby.

Thanks.  This is about my favorite mod on the boat.  Used left overs to make step pads on gunwales and at the nose in the bow.

So, I decided to make a reversible sukgate.  Ordered up another cutting board and a shelf bracket and a suction handle from amazon.

It works just as well as the surf gate but the boat is much easier to steer when it is deployed and it is super easy to switch from regular to the goofy side.  I attached a line and a buoy to it in case it ever falls off but so far it hasn't.
