@Elder1945 if you need Beneteau have one factory here in SC and some of them are my friend .
Interesting I am in the market :).

I had a conversation with them a few years back in Maritus, One of there team was at are year end party for Apollo Blake.

I have looked for years and keep flip flopping on the decision tbh. I have a soft spot for sails though.

What we start with...

Overall the theme is going to be Italian yacht as this seems to be a great fit.

Not much room to work with but it will work.

I think brushed aluminum, White, Gloss black with a hint of led's....

No rgb I am going full white for the clean look

Update.

We are going full Yatch theme here and considering this is the case we need to name are yatch (Tank).

We are going with Dolce Vita.

La Dolce Vita not only sounds super fancy but its transition is "the good life". I think this system when looking at it should remind you of the good life so the name fits quite well.

I will have has to step up my game and just ordered Mahogay...

The overall idea is the outside of the system would be the outside of the yatch and once the doors are removed you are on the inside... seems simple....

I forgot I have to make a matching sump.. LOL.

build/design file as of now.

The overall look is done and most of the build/design is ready to be cut..

I am missing quite a bit of things but these will be added as I build.

Just for a sense of scale the oval is around a 4 foot by 8 foot sheet, It is amazing what can fit in a stand that is only 40"x 35" tall.

If i had more then 5 days I would do 3D renderings and all of that jazz but I am just going to wing this one and if something does not workout design wise, we will fix as we go.

We should be setting up everything to cut today and the actual building will start tomorrow.


In my head it looks awesome!!! LOL..... so we will see how it goes.
