I like the navy bottom and slate sides.
Would love to see photos.

Me too. But they ain't even gonna build it till middle of April. :o There will be pics as soon as it shows up. There was one with the reverse (Blue sides, slate bottom) at the Nashville Boat show, We almost went that way, but the Admiral likes the slate (they call it shale!) color so much we decided to put it in the more visible position. I am horrible with colors, so I defer to her. Seems to be the correct decision. This winter is getting longer and longer. :(

Whoo hooo ! Good news for us! They started production and expect delivery early April! Things are looking up! So you'all cannot spend anymore of my money on this one. I suppose there are accessories....

We do have a trailer though. All we need is to get a boat on it!

Yeah, and I was just on the phone to get them to add the 430, (actually ask if they had anything any bigger.... :lol: ) and they said it was already in process. Well, shucks, I snooze, I loose ;)

We will be most happy with it when it gets here. It will probably be right at the brink of warm weather and we will catch our death of cold. We once bought a new 17 ft Sea Doo jet boat in March 2012 and were out kneeboarding in wetsuits. We aint real smart.

Nothin but the best 2 x 6 technology for my boat!

Its a convertible, I can change it to a 'toon when I want to. :lol:

What, don't they all look like that?

I passed on this one, it doesn't have the right bow support for a windlass boat. Other than that....

Hey Capt! Congrats!

I have a Phoenix Trailer and really like it. I had them send me their bracket (paint matched) for EOH last year in hopes of upgrading soon. Would you mind sending me closer pictures of your EOH and coupler setup? Thanks!

will this help? Nothing on the coupler, forgot to take a pic of it, Seems to be a standard height adjustable coupler.
