Hey, what is Ken Clinton with a trumpet? Powerboats happened Tuesday. Got some exciting news for you today. So for all of you that have been following the get the evolution hard top saga all the way from design concept to building the plug to building the mold. Well, guess what? We have finally built the park and we're fitting it right now. And I wanted to show you what that looks like. So this is the 50 evolution prototype that we're working on. We've got the glass up there, full height glass, spyglass closed bridge. And up top is the hard top. I'm going to show that to you now. So what we've done is we've built the hardtop, we've trimmed it, we brought it over. It still has gel coat finish work that we have to do. But we wanted to fit it first. So, you know, with it being a prototype, you want to make sure that everything fits properly. I'm going to take you up inside. To show you. So check this out. This really turned out well. So for all of you that have been following this, this is where you get to the point where the final product comes into play and all of that hard work these weeks and weeks of you guys following this happening, this is where you end up at the end of the day. So I'm going to go up here into the bridge deck area. Check this out. This is the console here and then you've got. All the enclosed glass, there's the arch, top, legs. Beautiful. So an amazing job all the way from our engineering team from concept design to our tooling team to build plugs and molds, our lamination crew for building amazing parts to now being in the assembly building. And putting the vote together. Amazing team effort, best craftspeople in the industry, blessed to have them. So good stuff everybody. I'm happy that you guys can follow us along on this trip. Take care everybody.

Thru hulls. Not a glamorous topic but a necessity. They play a BIG role in keeping your boat safe and dry. They allow water to pass in and out of your boat for cooling systems, desalinization, bilge pumps and more. Curious about how yours are holding up? A professional inspection can save you future headaches. We work with Engineered Yacht Solutions, INC on all 27 of our thru hulls. They will look for cracks, leaks, and other issues you don’t want to ignore. A little maintenance now will save a big headache and a lot of $$$ later! #EYSWelding #ThruHulls #ThruHull #CaptainsClassroom #TheMoreYouKnow #YachtCrew #Yachting #Boating #Hulls #BoatingSafety #BoatSafety #PreventativeMaintenance #CaptainKellyGordon #CaptainKellyJGordon
