True. But I usually pick up on things like that.
I do want to bring her up north for a few days. Chase some of your tuna and salmon.

Took a mental wellness day yesterday and visited the factory. The cabin interior got painted Wednesday, so I took a peek inside as it finishes curing.
This Burnewiin will share duty between my pot puller and a high-speed Scotty downrigger. They’ll wire in an 80 amp plug for the puller and the typical 40 amp plug for the Scotty. Matching Burnewiin on the other side, but just for the Scotty.
Underneath the Burnewiin are the plates supporting the DR ball holder. These plates were a total afterthought, but the fit is pretty dang good. I get an even better toe kick and the DR weight is 98% out of the way.
We have large Freeman hatches in each motor well. Along with offering super easy access to the bilge, washdown, and bait tank pumps, they built “trays” to hold my smaller black totes. Another after thought on my part. I keep my electric pressure washer in one and 5 Plano tool boxes plus miscellaneous repair items in the other. Getting silly little things like these added makes me smile
. The aft bilge pumps are 2,000 gph. I have a pair of smaller ones in the bow.
Here’s a shot looking at the washdown install. I’ll hit the pump with a good coating of Fluid Film, just to help protect it from any saltwater that gets into the bilge.
Lastly are these goodies. Raymarine Quantum 2 radar, GPS puck, FLIR MD625, the Autopilot heading sensor, all around light, and heading sensor will go onto the forward-folding radar arch.

Very nice! The "little details" like a shelf in the bilge that fits a standard tote are what really make the custom build special. Looking forward to seeing this beast on the water soon!

No butt derby for me. We typically get our halibut in the ocean. I haven’t a clue about the derby rules.
