very cool…I almost bought a HB Marquessa…but, I had a bit of a tax bill that I owed to Uncle Sam so I had to Pay DA Man…and my HB never came to fruition 
The fit and finish is best in class !!!
Very happy for you…thanks for sharing…lots of fun to others successes.

I have had the Bob’s, T&H on the HPS, now a SEA Star Dominace (sp) the previous owner had it installed on my MA17 with the Mercury 115 XP pro, the one thing about the Bobs, it’s so easy to work on…easy to get to the pump since it’s external and easy to diagnosis if there is a problem…my $0.02

Been awhile since I had much to updater. Boats back in motion. Mounted the gas tank and rod tubes. The cockpick is in. Next step is bonding the cap on.
What are you doing with your 16 waterman?
Looks great. Are they building the transoms higher now to accommodate the jack plate better. @Smackdaddy53 any news or intel
Getting there! Keep em coming!!
Nope, the transoms are still too short unless you only run channels or like grinding the prop and lower unit down hitting bottom all the time. I even tried to get a customer to have his transom built taller during the build and HB would not do it. Basically the whole prop below the hull and the platform built too low to lift the outboard. The strange thing I’ve pointed out is they rig tunnel and non tunnel Professionals the exact same height. Builders are slowly getting up with the times but some never will from the looks of it. They’re missing out on the true skinny water buyers.
This is a beautiful, well built skiff, not throwing shade on HB, just opinions and observations.
I know you have no bad intentions. Wishful thinking on my part when I saw the pics of the transom.
My 16 will be for sale through the skiff shop.

She’s moving over to rigging now! Starting to look like a real boat! They weighed her and she was 670 lbs. Advertised bare bones is 625. We have some extra rod tubes and under gunnel lighting and compartment lighting so I think we’re right in there with the extra equipment.
Looking good.
