My floor is plywood.....I'm pretty sure it's original. There are 2 lockers and pull up hatches......carpet over top.

Yeah......Don Racine did a great job on the windshield. I just sent him my old one. At the time he didn't have the darker green plexi-glass so I went with the lighter version........it looks good but to be more correct I'd like to have another one made in the darker green.

Funny-

I was thinking the same thing about the lighter plexi-glass but didn't want to say anything. Also, it really didn't matter for me because I figure it would still look better then what I have (lots of cracks etc.). But if he has the darker shade now I think I am going to do it for sure.

I did take the windsheild to a guy and he did not want to do it as he was not sure about the bends matching..

Ill ask around the yard were the boat is next time im down that way, they have a fiberglass shop there, they should be able to point me in the right way..

other wise ill get that number off ya and pay the shipping cost, were you happy with yours

Interior is still not settled. For now we are getting the boat runnign and running good, then will worry about the interior.

I think the original is the candy stripe but I might just go with white, which is what I think you have?

I would like to eventually change out the bolsters for the original bucket seats. Not sure yet though.

I'm eventually going to switch to candy stripes and add a very thin pad to my hatch. The hatch is custom made to clear the engines but if I make a thin pad it will mimic a flat hatch with a pad........

This spring I'm going to put a mahogany inlay on the deck and a taller lifeline. Then install the horns, compass, teak step pads and the rest of the deck hardware that was stripped.
