A Scout is Reborn
 

Since its cold and snowy here in the northeast, I thought I'd spend some time on OSO today. Here is the restoration of my 1995 Apache Scout. I tried to update it as much as possible without losing the "Old School" attitude of the boat. Here is the before

The During. The boat was completely stripped and gutted.

More of the during. Boat was shot with Imron. Its really amazing stuff. The "APACHE" on the fairing is also Imron laid out with a stencil.

And now the After. Interior storage pockets were updated along with throttle,gauges and radio. Interior seats by PPI Sarasota Florida (thanks Jim), the remaining interior pieces were done locally. The Imron shines like glass and is tough as nails. It has just a hint of metallic in it.

The traditional Apache logo is in vinyl. I may change it to an Indian head with head dress that I am designing myself.Last is this years money splurge. Cant beat the Mercury winter extended warranty program.

Nice job, clean and straightforward!!

Somebody PM'd me for pictures, so I will just bring this to the top.:food-smiley-007:

Nice resto. I like the paint scheme. I was thinking of doing something like that. Plain and simple yet classy. Here is a very similiar paint scheme I'm thinking of using

When I did it 2 years ago everybody told me to "jazz" it up. I thought it would be cool old school. Ten years from now, it will still be nice to look at, as opposed to looking like it was shot with a paintball gun !!
