Lip-Ship tour prior to Key West run...
 

Although Phil was extremely busy getting ready for the Orlando classic boat races (his brother raced the black/red 20') as well as getting customers boats ready for KW, he took time to walk us through some of his projects...

Up first was this stunning 01 38 Top Gun re-build. Owner put 800+ hours on it and it was in absolutley the worst condition you've ever seen! 100% strip down and build up project. It is absolutely beautiful in person. Looks like a 2010.

Todd's boat getting ready for re-paint/interior...

A recent Lip-Ship Gladiator re-do....(this was the pastel colored Glad previously). Charlie working hard getting the glad ready and the girls with Phil.

Around the shop...Phils 20, a couple 39's and the 42X that was just at the Lauderdale show.

Both 20's and a 20' project in between Todd's boat and Phils red/black 20 as well as a panoramic of the inside of the shop.

Great pictures- thank you for sharing!!!

was that 42 built for someone ?

Yes, last year. It is for sale with only like 30 hours on it. Perfect condition.

What's it got for power? How fast?

Yep its Frank Z 700 boat from RI. He never used the thing. He paid to have the boat put in the water every weekend then taken out and detailed and the boat never left the dock!!

Video of the 05 Lip-Ship re-built Gladiator with warmed 525's via Zul. Sounded f*ckin' mean. I think it broke the mic on my camera is was so loud!:eek: You get the picture though.

Before and after pics...

Good suff!..... Thanks for the pics.

Impressive.....that Lip Ship touch, does make the difference.
Thanks for sharing.

Steve, it was good seeing you and the family! It's been too long. Tell Bobby not to be such a stranger around these parts...I know college takes up some time but come on!:drink:

Oh that boat looks SOOOO much better than before. It's amazing what a little lipstick & a boobjob can do! GREAT job Phil! :drink:

Thanks a bunch for posting the pics for us Tank! I'm glad you guys had a GREAT time! :ernaehrung004:

Thanks for posting Tank! Great pics.

"a couple 39's" that's it? Is that all the respect they deserve? a couple 39's f'ing ho hum...geeez. :eek:

Tank, did you get a pics of the dash in the Glad? Phil totally redid the layout and it was really nice. I think I was there just before you picking up my 39 but I didn't have my camera.

Don't worry, I gave your boat some much respect. My buddies loved your 39!

Nice stuff ! :drink: Looking forward to Miami Boat :drink:Show!

Thx...its been like Rodney Dangerfield around here lately.

Great pics.. It doesn't matter how many times you walk into Phils shop, it is always an Awesome feeling to be in such a historic CIG Shop..
That place is off the Charts!!!!!!!!!:evilb:

HAHAHA!!! Sorry brother...I thought that was your boat but I didn't confirm it so I didn't want to mis-represent it. It is absolutely beautiful and looks to be brand new! The hatch was up and it looks like you could eat off the engine compartment.

We were in and out and, though it seemed like I was snapping "too many" pics, now it's apparent I didn't get enough.

No disrespect homey!:drink:

Not close up....Charlie was in there doing some stuff and though I was screwing with him, I didn't want to make him move to snap the dash. But yea, it's bad azz!:eek:

Here, I'll bail you out...

Is it just me, or does the logo on the bow in front of the wind screen seem crooked?

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe its an optical illusion.
