Under Construction

[Converse48]

At the suggestion of several folks on the board here, I asked the factory to take some pictures of my boat under construction. It took me a while of staring at them to figure out what I was actually looking at, but here goes:

This is looking at the galley from the starboard side. The curved section is the companionway to the sleeping cabins.

This one is fairly obvious!

And this one is from the front of the salon/galley area looking back toward the stern. The cabin sole is in place, so the engines must be in place.

I'm not sure what this really shows me, but I think it's pretty cool!

Pretty cool.... really creates a nice history of the boat in an album. Thanks for sharing.

I'm impressed. :thumbsup:

Are they going to document the whole assembly process for you with photographs? That would be cool if they did that.

Yes, nice pics!

What is really nice about it, that if you get a lot of photos in different stages, you really know how and where stuff is located and hided!

Priceless!!

Thanks for the comments! This site is Palm Coast, FL. I was not there personally (I was invited, I just couldn't make it). These pics were taken by the SeaRay rep for my dealer (at my request).

I noticed hull #554 too. That is impressive! That seems like a lot of this model...

And don't worry Dancin' Dave, we will get plenty of use out of her. We're already planning for a March 15th delivery and then we'll take her over to Baltimore Inner Harbor for a couple of months before going over to Rock Hall (Rock Hall is great in the Summer, but it's a tad slow in the early Spring).

Thanks again for the comments. I will post more pics if I get them.

Hey Tim....if you ever have to ship this boat, you can just take off the top half...... :grin: ....She looks great...maybe we'll get to hook up at BIH this summer.... :thumbsup:

That is the second most beautiful boat I’ve ever seen! :grin: The lines and proportions are exquisite and it’s fascinating to see the actual assembly. We are just across the Chester River from you and will keep a sharp watch out at all times for that beauty this summer.

Dominic- I have been following with interest the thread involving a possible trip to the Bay by the NJ contingent. As this event approaches I'll see if we can join in on the Bay part of the trip! Also, depending on when this is, I may want to follow some of you back to New Jersey.

jrirvine- thanks for the comments on the aesthetics. I love bridge boats but they are usually a tradeoff from a "looks" point of view. The look of this boat was one of the driving forces behind the choice. Somewhere in my early experience on this board I had asked some questions about my choice, the response I remember most was "buy what makes you smile". This boat makes me smile :grin: ! Hope to see you on the Bay this year!
