Damn thats a nice looking gel job.

[socalmofo]

That boat is sick! My Favorite Ultra by far!
What is the $$$ on one of these 26' with an HO?
Are those gauges an upgrade?

The monster gauges are an extra. Not sure on the complete number with an HO these days, that all depends on the options you add (I added so many options, I not sure what the starting number was anymore). Drop Ultra a call, they will work something up for you.

Very nice looking gel, the gauges look great as well. I am surpised they didn't upgrade the trailer though....... :)

Be safe and enjoy.

First weekend with new ride and all I can say is WOW. :D :D :D
Nice to see the all the V's bounce while we were going smooth!

ok going to need to see some pics come out of your camera sooooon

[Havasu Sun]

What is the story with the trim tabs on the 26 shadow. Are they neccessary for a smooth ride? Is it common to have trim tabs on a 26' cat style hull? Just curious, they are bad a$$ boats for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is absolutely no need for tabs on the 26. My 26 has over 100 hours on it and there has never been any need at all. The boat rides flat, no porpoise and it planes quickly for a cat. I only know of one Ultra 26 Shadow that has been built with tabs. I love the my 26.

I got tabs for a couple of reasons. 1 it helps me jump on plane quicker and 2nd, i'm going to use the 26 for tubing, etc so i can push my back up at a slower speed. If i ever sell the boat,I thought it might be a bonus feature. andi if I ever wanted to add them after the fact, 3000 mile distance and a more expensive install made the decision just a little bit easier for me. John is correct though on the point there is no porpoise. Boat handles like a dream:)

Andre,
I think your 26 is the most equipped 26 Deck that Ultra has built. Other than more power, which the boat doesn't need, yours has more options on it than JW's blue 26. You have a beautiful boat for sure :D
Isn't the Dana Billet Thottle/Shifter an amazing piece. I am so happy with mine.
John M

[drejustice]

Thanks John, you answered a lot of questions for me and helped steer me in the right direction.
The new dana shifter is AMAZING! Functions great and looks even better.
On the option route I did go for quite a bit as being East Coast would make it difficult to drop the boat back off at Ultra for upgrades later:D which is a luxury I wish I had. Ultra did some real slick work to accomodate some of our needs specifically for our 2 large labs.

Molded Cockpit? Is this new?

http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/534/23.jpg
Not on the 26. Now if you want some crazy configuration that isn't molded then you don't get an innerliner.

[ULTRA26 # 1]

Molded Cockpit? Is this new?
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/534/23.jpg
Actually it is somewhat new. The 1st 26 Deck that Ultra built was inner-lined (molded cockpit) to the gauge side of the dash. The seating area floor was wood. Not sure about the 2nd. After that and until recently, the floor in the front section, as well as the seating area, was wood. I believe that this is still standard. I have been told by John West that there was to be 3 optional inner-liners for use with different interior arrangements. So far, I have only seen one complete inner-liner, which is the one pictured

What are the other optional inner-liners?

What are the other optional inner-liners?
One other one is for U-shape seating with walk-off back on one side of the motor.

Dre,
Very cool idea :)

[kamguy]

lucky dogs!

[drejustice]

The dog ramp was Ultra's design and build after some ideas and suggestions from me. They came up with some cool enhanced features. The ramp actually secures to the front of the boat with 2 pins from underneath. You just then flip the ramp back over between the seats and away you go.
