Hey Seb, Mate it's smack in the middle of winter over here. I'm up in sunny Queensland though, so it's managable. Southern states are much more cold. I ride without a wetsuit, and it was pretty cold. Took a bit for the boys to come back down.

Cheers Dave. The glass must have been custom made by Taylor then. The windscreen (shield haha) has been off the boat by the looks at some stage, so anything is possible. I think the centre section is film. It has a small mark on it that if I scatched at it, I'm sure it would peel up. |

We did not tint glass at the factory, the owner must have done it. I would say, its tinted film and you should be able to remove it. You made me laugh when you guys over there call it the screen... 
And we call it the windshield over here. I hope this helps. Dave P.S. if you need more email me at: gf72mustang@hotmail.com |

There's a few more cool shots, but I can't take credit. Friend of mine takes them. BIGGER.! But seriously it's awsome for boarding. Not so crash hot for swerving though.! Smashed the wake on edge & I think I did a full horizontal 360.

Cheers Dave,
Maybe you can provide some insight into the screen.? It is actual tinted glass. I don't know if it was factory optioned like that as the creen appears to have been off before, but it's definately black glass not tint film. Well the curved glass is anyway. The centre might be film as it's a slightly different color. I was actually hoping it was film so it could be removed. |

Very nice looking boat !! Man you don't fool around either. Call you Sir Speedy... 
I know the bow was a bear, because I built that boat. I was the one that built all the soild 210 back then. Enjoy the sweeeeeeet ride.. Yep, the 2010 decals would look nice. Dave |

I got pulled up by the water police too.! Guess they spotted the CA rego numbers.
Was tempted to say that I just drove it here & it was still rego's in CA.
Lucky I went & registered it that morning. Got away with a warning for the numbers. |

Yeah lots of elbow grease.! It's about 1/2 the standard I want it to be. I would describe it as good enough to get out there for our ski weekend. Note I even had my name still on the screen from the import on the first day till I found a blade to get it off. |

Thinking of fitting 2010 Chromax decals, but they are a bit pricey. Migt go for the gel versions.
Yeah they are the rear fill pumps - Aerator style pumps. I found it interesting that Tsunami pumps were used for fill, and Rule pumps for empty.
Haha - I thought it was running / sounding a bit funny. Turns out it's just a Chev.!

Andrew are you going to refit the decals or leave it stealth. Are those 2 white pumps in the bilge the ballast pumps? They look a bit like bait pumps.
Get used to removing and replacing those GM engines.

Here are some shots of the interior. I'm pretty sure the object was to cover every square inch of white vinyl in black sooty foot prints - Including the dash pad!
The fenders were cut off (axles & wheels removed also) in order to fit the trailer in the container. 
Welded the fender support / side step back on. 
I'll try to upload some engine removal shots tonight. |

Andrew looks like that boat was previously owned by a CCfan member. He left the sticker on the trailer.
Love the look of the all black. Keeping the water spots off it will be a fulltime job but it does look stealth.
Broken the bubbly over the bow yet?
As Trip mentioned I would like to see how they got the boat in the container. I assume they made a cradle to get the boat in the container. I see you have the US trailer did they fit the trailer in the same container? Do you have any pictures of the boat in the container. |

No dizzy.! I didn't realize that it was actually missing until the boat arrived. For some reason, a lot of things had been taken apart.? Also the screen seems to be factory tinted glass, not film. I love your 02.! I actually prefer the white stripe on the 02. |
