80 sportfire rebuild

[Chucker]

My seats look like the kind you would find in a school-bus compaired to those

That's what I'm sayin'! Did you pull them out of your Caddy?

Actually I bought them from a company called Veada. They make a lot of pontoon furniture. I got both helm seats and for the rear I just got the cushion and made my own base. Also I got vinyl for the side pads aand rear deck- Same lot # all for a little over 600.00. The best part when I recieved the one seat it had a mark in it. They picked it up and repaired right away- no questions asked.

hell yeah dude aqua buff is some good stuff. Diplomat told me how to do it. Aqua buff 1000 followed by 2000 then buff with Flitz, then follow that up with Maguiars Machine Glaze. I have all the product right now. It takes a long time to do it right. So far ive done 2 buffs with aqua 1000 tomarrow im gonna start with 2000. Probally take some pictures shes gonna look mint. Nice boat too cant wait to see her floating! Do you think your windshield will fit on other boats like my v-mate ll, maybe?

It looks way cool on the water TAZ

She looks like a new one Taz, you did one heck of a nice job. I bet you get plenty of looks and thumbs up from the other boaters. Now you can take it easy and enjoy her for the rest of the summer. Have you had any offers to race yet? I bet you will get plenty of chances the way it looks. Glad you are feeling better with the new meds! Keep us posted on every thing.
