this looks like a hell of a project, i never dreamed that it was that rough when you bought it from shogren.i thought about a year or two prior to that it was up and running in louisiana on a regular basis

I feel your pain. It will be worth it in the end. I spent 18 months redoing a 38 Flatdeck. As for the windshield, I had a weld shop fabricate one out of aluminum then thru-bolted it to the boat for a more modern race-fairing appearence.

Here's the link to my make-over thread for any ideas or motivation: http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...d.php?t=149566

I Was Right The Guy Who Did My Windshield Designed And Fabricated It In His Machine Tool Factory. He Said That You Are Free To Call Him On His Cell At 248 721 0243 And He Will Give You What Ever Info He Can. His Name Is Hazz Spengler. Good Luck.

Yeah she had major work done to her by Stalkin in 2000 and 2001 heard she was in pristine condition.He sold her to someone and they let her go straight downhill!She fired off when I got her from Shogren,but had plenty of problems as you can see.I knew it was going to be a project,just decided to strip her down and start from scratch.The previous owner was running 800 holley automotive carbs with no J tubes so of course when fuel sloshed out and she backfired the fire supression system went off,that was realy fun to clean up and pretty damaging on the motor paint!
