Any ideas
 

looking for suggestions for the 20, keep it old school or go totaly new - or old school with new touches

Please give me some ideas - going to the 20' poker run to get some info and meet with phil so i wanted to have some thoughts to kick around

Just look at Phils ..... thats all you will need to see very sweeeeeet !

entire boat old school and original as possible...but with a merc 525.....just my .02

i'd like to see it mostly original w/ updated gauges and some nice power... nothing too scary of course. ;)

I think i am going to leave the 454 just build it up a little, not to radical, and the TRS until it blows or parts are two hard to find, then replace it with a Konrad.

smart play... keep the initial overhead low.

this toy will be more fun if its real low cost.

Wait until you get the new ride you want...then mini-me it.

Old school for sure!.......that thing is sweet!!!

Ditto.

It looks clean and original. Keep it old school with modern upgrades as needed. It is kind of like a vintage Ferrari or Vette. If it was bought as a basket case than custom for sure, but a nice clean original w/ modern conveniences will get twice as many looks.
Just my $.02

Well said......

ditto

Or even a used 500EFI. Kinda like a Boyd Coddington street rod with Z06 running gear underneath. :D I'm sure Phil will help out with some ideas too!

I saw Phil's last week. All I can say is wow!!!
I think it would look good in black and silver.

think restomod.. its and old skool hull with updated mini glad redo

That's what I said, Dreamer..................wasn't it?:D :D I just couldn't think of that word - restomod! :D

few more, got it to fit in my garage

last ones for now, putting it on the water on sat

Here's what's going to happen, and I speak from experience. You'll get it torn down, and when you start to rebuild you'll end up replacing everything. It's impossible to resist, especially when Phil shows you all the cool new stuff you can put in it. :drink:

I don't know about that... it looks just the way it did the last time Dons hands touched it. This is a pc of history. Just get a new Lipship boat. Unless phil can retromod it somehow.

Old school for sure IMO.

Although when you see Phil's you might change your mind. I saw it last yr at the 20 ft run on the Ohio River...........and WOW what a real nice job they did :cool:

Hope to make it out there this year as well.
