Default Boat restored... red hot!

Here is the red hot Fountain I have been restoring for the last 3 months. Gel coat was faded, there were some engine issues with the setup, new graphics from Sticker Dude, trailer needed some work, new carpet, new dash panel and many parts. 547CI big power with Speedmaster #3's. Bullet proof and fast. It is a 1987 that looks new.
Before pictures.

Now the after pictures. I won't bore you with the amount of time and money that went into this project. But for me it is fun.

I guess I know what you are going to do for retirement.

Very nice. Always fun to see the look on peoples faces when you tell them it's a 1987. Super job.

Brad, looks great. Are those the same engines without the chargers? or are they new ones?

The only thing I don't remember seeing was the cabin before.

So, sre you planning on keeping it now?
