The Konrads showed up yesterday afternoon. I sprung for the whole deal- The gimbals, the streamlined lowers, the 1.5" tiebar and all. If they work half as well as they look, I'll be thrilled.

Last I saw, Dave had all the ugly purple vinyl graphics off the side. We stripped the interior out and pulled all the deck hardware off last week and the transom stuff came off a few days later. It's all getting refinished or replaced.

Cockpit vinyl is going to be a solid lipstick red Mellohide- the faux leather stuff. It's so red it makes a Ferrari look orange.

Current thinking is that it was some sort of bong.

Dave was fascinated by them- like a cat with a bag of catnip

Well, It's in glassdave's hands now. Once he's done getting cleaned out in Vegas, I'll make another trip out to Toledo. I need to make templates for the dash panels- I also need to figure out where twice as many gauges are going to go. I may make a riser for in front of the gauge/steering pod. The only problem is I then lose the compass. I hate to depend solely on GPS.

$500.00 now could pay off in spades later..

That boat would look great in that color!

I dont know Chris . . . . I still think this one would be great competition for that ice cream boat. It was inspired by the Bilge section of OSO and i call it "cant we all just get along"

OK . . . now does anyone in the Cig section have ANY idea what that square alluminum pipe thing is in post #3 and #4

. . . . I must find out . . .
