28 Howard Sportdeck-TPI Build

[kap]

Well I thought it was time to share some photos with the Hot Boat community and members.
This is our "signature" boat the intent was to have a very unique boat that could run with high horsepower cats and V-Bottoms yet have all the family requirements of a deck boat.
It is the culmination of many hours and lots of hard work from quite a few people and companies--- including but not limited to Howard Custom Boats, Taylor Performance Inc. Max Machine Worx and most of all my family who provided a great deal of input on all aspects of the boat build.

The boat will be completed here within the next 10 days.
Enjoy!

Comments:
I will post additional photos when the boat nears completion. We cannot wait for the upholstery and interior to be installed it will really make an impact on the entire package.
We have seen the interior it is very classy with the right amount of sophistication without being to over the top; custom made for Howard--- by Jesse Solano at Land & Water Upholstery in Santa Ana.
Once the boat is completed we look to fine tune that TPI motor and obtain some seat time and top end numbers---we also need to select props x 2.
Thanks! for the wonderful compliments and kind words .
Very truly yours,
KAP
P.S. Roln20's thanks for the products we are recent converts to the sauce .

If you want, you can email them to me and I can try and post them for you. Send them to my email account, 5-10 per email though otherwise it will take forever for me to download them.....
