Hey Kevin, good luck on the new ride, I know you'll do us all proud! Gonna try and get down to CR after the season to check on you. Just like your Mom said, all of us here are proud of you too. Remember ALL that Jeff taught you, you'll need it

At 80' I don't think too much is going to be pounding. It isn't an old 37'. Don't be jealous.

Merritts are some badass boats, i had the chance to walk through Merritts yard in mid march, with a friend who works for them. They had a 72 in progress as well as a 58 express which he said is the last one they are building. We also had the opportunity to board one that was getting ready for delivery called Seraphim, an 84 footer. Sick Boat! The owner of Hendrick Motorsports had his own Merritt there called Reel Wheels which i believe was a 72 or 76 as well as Alan Jacksons boat call the Hullbilly. Sorry to rant but they are some sweet boats
