Good Luck on the project.

I already have the fuel tank in and fabricated a new floor panel over it.I repainted the bilge in Imron and gave it a red/purple splatter effect,I installed a transom assembly and hooked up all the steering components.I made custum paterns for all the missing interior parts and sent the templates to a upulstry shop.I had a great canvas guy make a real nice gray tweed sunbrella mooring cover,I got seat bases from Mcleod(white powder coated).I already had motors for the boat,I took two 500Hp's out of a Fountain I use to own, that I repowerd,and they have been on my garadge floor begging for a new home.You might see it again on e-bay but this time it will be finished.I enjoy doing the work and completeing it more then I enjoy using them, I think it is a outlet so my wife doesnt drive me nuts.....
