Dan called me today and said it was in! So stoked! I got to watch him cut open the box, and helped slip the cheesecloth sock of of it.
A choir of angels sang sweet, as the veil was slid down the sleek silver and white.
I'm gonna ride this bitch! Watch out fishes!

Also, this thread has a severe shortage of pictures. Seriously, there should be like 10-20 pictures minimum.

Thanks everyone! I'm super stoked! Paddled around Rancho Seco this morning until the wind got bad. So smooth and quiet. This thing will sneak up on you. Rudder is great, turns well with out it too. Really came in handy crossing the lake in 20mph wind.
The standing deck is huge! You don't even need to flip the seat up, but if you do it is crazy big. Like, I could sleep in it big!
Super stable. Standing is easy. I was able to lift a foot to move it forwards or back after a few minutes practice.
Working the seat means kneeling on the deck facing back, or doing a duck squat thing. Watch your fingers if you are lowering the front of the seat! They put that "hold upper bar" sticker there for a reason! Youch!!  Lower is nice and stable. Good for paddling. The raised position gives you another 4". Still  very stable and a nice sitting position
I kept it there all day, even in the wind.
Recline is just nuts! You can let the seat back lower too! (I see naps happening)
What didn't I cover...
I ordered it with the rudder and anchor trolly installed,  as well as the rear well matted with the same material as the deck.
Oh yah...
NO CUP HOLDERS!!! WTF? My Moken has like 4! My coffee cup was rolling all around. Got under the seat and couldn't lower it. I already have an idea for mesh pockets on both sides of the seat, and maybe a track.mount cup holder.

I didn't want to drill it, so I'm using ram ball rod holders in the rear tracks. Three rod holders on the box, and one up front.
FF is ram mounted as well as the over the side transducer arm. Moved it over to the.left side because my trolly is on the right, Duh Chris!

So... pictures!
I can only send one per post so be patient.
Last night after getting it squared away.
