Restore 1990 Bullet
 
Hull is in great shape - just needs graphic update
All cockpit and cabin upholster has been removed. Going in local shop to start on removing all fittings for power coating and painting . Just recieved complete gauge package from Dustin and it looks great for complete white out on cockpit dash consoles. (Hey dustin thanks for the help and guidance) Engines sound great after re-fresh by prevouis owner. Leaving them alone for now. Looking for swim platform? Trning to complete boat by March 1, ready fro spring.

Great Boat Good luck with your update. Most newer digital cameras come with software for resizing. As for suggestions if your trailering very far, get some more truck. IMO Rich

Bullet Restore in the shop
 
Jeff picked up Bullet yesterday. Going to the shop and having all fittings removed and polished or powder coated. Having front on cockpit painted white and updating dash. All new cockpit and cabin interior is being made.

Does anyone have pics of Bullet with the bow grab rail powder coated a color instead of white. Thinking of doing blue to match dash. Ideas?????

Looking for pics to decide on cig emblem for engine hatch and for sides of hull..

Any help and ideas would be great

Thanks
