I mean by changing the colors on the hull, completely redoing all the colors in the interior, custom race style padded hatches for the superchargers, moved the throttles to the right side, totally redid the whole cabin to match the new colors in the cockpit. The fuel tanks were the cheap part of the project. And, no, it did'nt ride any different than before new tanks were installed, just did'nt leak fuel into the bilge. LOL

I would guess if you had a shop to do the R&R, it'd be in the area of about $2500 or so. Very time consuming, and alot of work. There are other guys here on the board that have done this also with these boats. Maybe they can chime in.
