Thank you all for your compliments. I am actually in the middle of redoing the entire boat from the ground up again. The few pictures of the completed interior were from the original redo (that took over 3 years and a lot of cash)and the pictures of the woodwork and upholstery are all fairly recent and will be installed hopefully before spring.
I originally installed a like new 1996 5.7LX EFI / Bravo 3 that I am also rebuilding with better performance in mind (the original configuration gave me a top speed of 70 with incredible handling and holeshot thanks to the twin prop Bravo 3).
If anybody is interested in more details please ask as I have taken hundreds of photos along the way and also have the original interior templates (in cardboard) that I used for the construction.
Thanks again for all the compliments and look forward to future posts.

That is a true labor of love there! You've really made that boat into something well beyond the factory. Your boat looks like a custom builder boat, like Cougar or Eliminator. Did you submit it to Hot Boat yet? Make a great Reader Ride.

Hey Steve!
You sent me pics last year when I was rebuilding my 82 Entertainer. It's since been stolen and I need help establishing a retail value on it. Any resources or other out there that I can use as a resource?
