obviously anyone who can't rock to this song isn't a hard core fisherman, good music choice

HOW DO I BUY A 1/2 DOZEN OPTIMUS T-SHIRTS AND HATS?! The most amazing rig I've ever seen. The attention to detail is mind boggling! A TRUE LABOR OF LOVE. I love mega boats, wish I could have 1/2 the features, craftsmanship, artistry, and forethought on my boat. May your efforts be bountiful and rewarded handsomely for generations. Thanks Rick for showing me this video, you better get up there to see this 8th wonder!

The Engineering Space is laid out real nice. I like the HDPP plumbing with fusion fittings. Built to last, and a very clean installation. Lot's of stainless, to. Best of luck!
