New interior

John, I'd take rain over snow any day, I drove through a blizzard last night 600 miles and it snowed the whole way, some of the worst roads I drove on all year.

and then this was this morning, does that count as boating?

Keith, I can't decide on the wheel, the blue might be too much, if I stay out here long enough I'm sure one will make it's way on there, I might still look at ordering a symetrical one, I just borrowed these from my dealer to see if I could make one work.
 
Alright clean up and finishing touches done, vacuumed, fresh fuel, battery charged and ready for the water, I might have some kind of boat addiction because even though I've been up for about 30 hrs I still felt the absolute need to get this finished when I got home today.

before I got too carried away with the Coors light I syphoned the 3/4 of a tank of 7 month old gas out and went and filled her up with a fresh load of premium at $5.32 a gallon:irked: I hope the wife's mini van likes the old gas I put in it:rof:

when building a garage always make sure that power sources are easily available without getting out of the boat, LOL

A 2 am cruise in the garage enjoying the fruits of my labor, at this point the CL's have kicked in,:lol:

I can appreciate that John. I had a Grant carbon fiber wheel in the shed that I put on last week. Its a nice little change from the stocker and it bolted right on to the stock hub. Might be something to think about. I was hoping to get my bow interior back together today but the 5 inches of water in the basement is gonna hamper my efforts. :(

Nice Job, John.. My boat will be in your driveway soon so you can finish it up for me.. He He ... Just joking.... Well, Now you know what you can do when you are tired of driving truck.... Nice !! :banana: Don
 
Warm it and stretch it tight. This will prevent sagging when it's exposed to the sun and use. Mine was done complete. The wood was replaced with new composite so it will last longer than me!:lol: 2 years on mine and it's still perfect.

Interior looks good. Mike at Checkmate is building mine now. Can't wait. Should be done any day.

I like the grey carpet. I had thought pretty hard about going that way on mine, but ultimately was talked into keeping the red.
