Well an update I'm not happy with the way the interior came out I think the guy rushed it even tho he had them for 2 1/2 months. I had drawn on the old panels where to put the stripes well I don't think he paid attention to it. also had drawn a strip on the swim deck where my stripes went well the wood under the pad will only go one way cause of the hinges and well he has it on backwards and if I do switch it around then the stripes are backwards but in the right spot. so side panel stripes are hidden behind the front seats some and the read deck cussion is wrong, and also I can't put the boat in reverse because of the way he made the seats which btw was not how he was told to make them but all in all I did get the look I was going for and I can live with the issues minus the no reverse which I am sending them back out today to have fixed but not by him. here is what it looks like even tho .

Thats a bummer. It stinks when you wait so long for something, especially a big ticket item like a new interior not to be happy with it. Ive only had one interior re-done and the guy went way ABOVE for the $$$ I paid. Got lucky.

Boring video of the first time out breaking the motor in a little never got it over 4000 rpm. motor was real fat with the 930 Holley on it . we were running circles around a friends boat. on our way to tie up and spend the day swimming.
