Orignally I wanted black carbon fiber dash with the new silver carbon faced guages by Livorsi,they were not available so I went with black carbon guages and silver dash instead.Im happy with it.Mikes number is 305-323-3697 If you need the dash done ,I can put you in touch with the co .
Thanks bro.

Yeah,the ugliest skater to ever leave the factory.had less than 100 original hrs on the boat before total gut and overhaul.It was owned by Carnuba wax the bubbles were painted on it,but they looked like clouds.

The guages antique,seats paint,trim ect all gone.Anyone got pictures of the carnuba boat?

thanks for the pics, looked for them on NJPBC but couldnt find them. Cut out the floors and re did the fuel tanks and coated the insides with Darakane. All good, should be sea trialed next week.
