Looks Great!! Had the chance to get out this weekend myself. Absolutely impressed with this boat. From stem to stern, completely amazing, from the connext to the e-throttles to the bimini etc.

Awesome @Coheeba ! I'm just to your west. Haven't launched the boat just yet. Planning next weekend. But I have been out on the paddleboard and the water is perfectly fine.

The Tyndall Airshow is this weekend. Going over and hanging out just past the Tyndall bridge. Looks like the weather is going to cooperate.

Have fun out there. Looks like a couple boats got a head start and are already anchored there for the weekend.

Air show sounds fun. May have to head that direction tomorrow as well. How crowded does it normally get passed the bridge?

@blackhawkpilot it is Shell Island. @brockhals This will be my first time watching the air show from the water. I have heard it gets crowded. I am heading over around 1100. I will post some pics.

I wish I would have taken my boat out there during the last air show.
It wasn't too crowded 2 years ago out there, not like I thought it would be anyway.

@Shannon - we were just down there last weekend and stayed next door at the Sheraton Bay Point. Didn't take the boat with us, though. Awesome place. We fell in love and thinking about getting a condo down there for weekend getaways. You'll love it - it feels like you're on an island.

@blackhawkpilot Thank man for the info! Did yo see any places to launch close? Just curious and by the way you boat looks bad ass! We have never been to that part of FL and it looks as if the water is so calm.

There are numerous places to launch, the Navy base is a good place its just a bit of a ride to the island. St Andrews State park is about the closest to launch for the island but it can be a zoo. I keep my boat at Lighthouse marine and they launch and recover, and its close to the island.

There's a boat launch at the Bay Point Marina. My signature pic was taken at Crab Island in Destin (about 50 miles to the west of Bay Point). Worth checking out if you have the time.

@ToddW850 - we finally hit Shell Island over the weekend. It's definitely worth seeing if you're looking for something new. We ended up launching at St. Andrews Bay State Park. It's comparable to Crab Island. Not as many "amenities", but the water is nice. Plus, it's very convenient to the gulf.
