So far but if your interested with the right size wallet and a few string pulls she might get a twin sister or two.

I just got out of a meeting and we are talking about building another "unique" CCF boat. Will it be as "unique" as 90013 - never. But we are thumbing around with building something that blends a couple older generations and a little less horsepower. I'll keep you posted as to when we move forward and you can bet I'll be asking for some ideas.
Thanks again for everything - we loved having you and look forward to next year if you'll come.

Subtle cues from the past that enhance a thoroughly modern boat. And it is a dream to drive on the water. Smooth, refined and handles like a sports car. Simply an outstanding boat.

Thanks for rubbing it in Steve....

I love it when Im right

The boat was beautiful- every bit as good looking as Id hoped it would be. It drove nicely too- 54mph out of a 2600+ lb modern ski boat is no joke!

A big congratulations goes out to Keith, Adirondack and Reids group. The building of this boat was a tremendous success, and it ended up with some of the best fans out there!

NOW THE CLOCK BEGINS AT 365 DAYS TO GO.!!!!!!!!!   HEHE   

Man that guy just won't stop....

It went home with Reid alright, I think the 409 is safe for the time being though. Reid really hoped Keith ended up in that particular boat, if that could have worked out Reid would have been all over ordering up 002 (I know the original was 00013 not 001 but you get the point) with the smallest available motor. That motor would have been up for sale immediately and a GT-80 built up and installed to make sure that the fastest CCFAN special was ford powered.

I am not going to hold my breath on that one..

I will be posting a bunch of previously unreleased photos from the build, including a shot of Ralp Meloon signing the stern.

In the mean time, here's another glamour shot of the CCF196:

Keith, How about a 1st generation orange hull/white deck CCF SN for next year's GL Reunion? I bet Holman Moody would want to get in on that one.

Godfather.....    You can send me my invoice anytime!

What happened to all the stuff that was on the table Friday night?

Moj, I dont think Randall is selling his boat- I just thought it was appropriate with the colors. Its certainly a beaut!

I just wanted to be first in line haha... Colors are great, well except for black seats.. Yikes.. Orange-orange Orange-white Orange-tan (yeah, that's it !!!) Moj'

Black sure would be tough after sitting in the sun, but it sure looks good!

How about orange/yellow?
