Beautiful build! I keep threatining myself with getting a Gato, but so far have resisted. This really makes me want to get one. Thank you for sharing her with us!

Thanks alot guys - you are much too kind.
Sorry for getting back so late, We spent last day travelling and is right now at my familys place i PA for the hollidays - so getting online will be limited and building is not a option
Anyway, had to redo the photosession 3 times to get a satisfying result, getting a decent lighting and colourbalance on something that big sure is hard.
That boat is propably the most demanding paintjob I have ever done, due to the size I had to work in sections, which meant that I had a lot of difficulties keeping the consistant, but in the end, with a filterjob, it came out ok,
Merry christmas to all and everyone.
Cheers/Jan

Your Gato is great and for a first time sub build is excellent, but we already know that from your works!
Thank you so much for sharing it with us
Enjoy the Xmas with your family - and have a safe return!
