When does that boat hit LOTO?

JUST NOTICED: What jackazz put the shoes on the rear bench and no bumpers on the dockside pic? Seems a little casual for a new boat!
You will have to catch a ride some how. The boat almost drives itself. We had a little snot to run through on the way to Jakes for lunch. If you were not looking at what we were crossing, you would have thought we were pretty much on glass. Hot a few big SeaRay waves and back wash rollers and you didn't feel a thing.

Trim it up a little and as you can see, it throws a huge rooster tail. As far as bympers, you really can't use them where we parked since there are just a few large posts and the bumpers would just slide off to the side. It was dead quiet in there anyway. I had bumpers on board.

I think the shoes were Wayne's - he went down into the engine compartment just before lunch to do a couple things. It was not a big deal, the boat was actually getting a bir dirty anyway from being at the dock for the photo shoot, including shaking up a bottle of champaign for a picture of Joe, Wayne, Colette and me christening the boat. They actually suggested breaking it over the bow - I just laughed at the magazine guys. So we shook it up and exploded it over the 4 of us - hose very close by to wash it off. Then I fell on my ass walking through the champaign trying to get the hose.

Damn Mitch - he waxed the thing after buffing it out!

Colette and I were both amazed at the final product. It far exceeded either of our expectations.

Ok since they were Wayne's shoes he gets a pass!

What is Wayne/ Joe's verdict on the completed project?
Any things getting changed for later F4's (except price increases!)?

The boat is awesome, what is the size of those underseat coolers? They look huge.

The completed project is something that you have to experience. I have actually been found (a couple times) standing at the back of the boat and thinking "this is one of the most technologically advanced, state of the art, user friendly, solid riding boats on the market. When the boat was in production we spared no expense in purchasing the best materials that money could buy from the Gel-coat to the fiberglass to space age stringer systems and we did not stop until we were finished and closed the frosted clear acrylic laser etched Sunsation oval logo cabin door. Pete Watson from the start of the design and Dave Moriarty the lead engineer are credited for helping design the future of Sunsation.



The only changes to future F-4 Boats to date would be Mitcher-T Graphics.

Jupiter, the coolers are a lot bigger than the ones int he SS. The well is much deeper too. Not sure the size, probably would hold about 18-20 cans with plenty of ice. Or, they will hold ropes!

John this guy is showing signs of an F4 stalker! Wants your address, you might find him sleeping on your boat!

Seriously, I just had the thought Where did they get the F4 name? Anything to do with tornado classification?

Here are a few pics of the F4 with Joe and Wayne in St Clair on Sunday where the races were getting ready to kick off. Thanks to Wayne we had a chance to get inside the F4 on Saturday at the Sunsation shop. What a gorgeous boat and the details, to include the stereo are fantastic. I know John and Colette are really going to enjoy this ride.
