Default 98 353 sporting some new colors

Well, our new (to us) 98 353 just came back from paint. Started out as a repaint of the original color scheme, ended up with something a bit more current

The work was done by a local shop, in the Detroit Area - Lafata Custom Paint. They've been working some magic on Skaters, Outerlimits, Cig as well as Formula.

The stripes were laid out by hand, using a few different Formula schemes to create sometime that is very Formula, but with a twist.

Awaiting some additional Innotec Carbon pieces and a new set of covers before, need a new scheme for the sun-pad as well. Gotta drop the rebuilt motor (failed intake manifold) and a new transom assembly in before I get her float worthy.

Thx. The boat has not been to friendly since coming home.

Found a bad transom assembly on one side and bad gimbal ring bushing on the on the other. Not to mention the mechanical indicator cables being rotted out.

Very nice. Keep up the upgrades til you're broke. Then you'll truly be happy. Haha.

Wow! That looks SICK!!!! Nice work. They did a 37AT owned by an OSO member (just sold) that turned out fantastic.

I've learned that if you keep feeding the boat money, it is happy
