Looks fantastic! Clean, classic and timeless.
|
Love it
|
wow ! lookin' good !
|
Awesome!!
always excited to see people putting money in the classics….. |
I was getting ready to Hate on another Gaudie paint job when I saw the thread title but thank God there is a few people out there still with Class and a Luv of the Classics.
Gorgeous . |
Love the old mistresses!
|
Very nice. I like to see slight updates to the classic look. I like your placement of the Sea Deck on the hatches, nice touch to clean up the look. Looks great.
|
Love the side logo :ernaehrung004:
You may end up hating that light gray Seadik. I was always cleaning mine, hard to get clean, hard to keep clean, I hated every minute of it. Next boat I went with dark charcoal and its 10000% better to keep clean and you cant see every foot print. |
What year is your mistress,,,,,? mines is a '82 I converted to a single engine hatch

My old Mistress. What a great boat, looking good with the updates my friend. Enjoy it!
|
I saw the exterior of this boat in Conroe. Pictures don't do it justice.
Really looking forward to seeing the end result. |
|
Nice one here!!!
|
Looking Good
|
Beautiful job Python!...looks Great!.....what engine hatch lock downs are installed on your 35?....I have an hyd. lift for my hatch, want to install some twist locks in addition, what do you recommend....or anybody else's recommend.
|
Beautiful!
She’s beautiful! Nice work and keeping it classic at the same time!
|
Hatches don't lock, have some kind of twist lock that doesn't do anything.

Yes, like Sydwayz asked, can you post up pics of the engine hatch.

Notice the aluminum frame, don’t think that was original. So there is nothing that the latches on the hatch interacts with on the frame. |
Do have pics of the hatch closed to show the top half of the latch itself?.....just curious to the many different types I'm plotting to install
|
I put the aluminum around the hatch for clearance of the 540's with the intake. So latches never worked after that.. I had rams on electric, so they weren't going to open anyway. Glad the boat is still kicking and looking great! Loved the lines of the boat. A lot of sweat and tears in that boat....lol
|
|
Damn that’s good lookin!
|
Very nice
|
I like it!
|
you would never know She's a 40 yr. old skool beauty!!....everything looks great!
|
|
Beautiful !! Did that boat come from LOTO many years ago

LOL, that was probably the Lewis brothers' boat and before that at one time belonged to Bob Morgan. It is definitely a wave crusher! Motors were rebuilt at one point and they missed like crazy. Builder pulled them and looked over everything and could not find an issue on an engine stand. Put them back in and under load they started missing again. I pulled the plugs, and they had installed R43 plugs, we put in the R43TS plugs, motors never missed a lick after that.
|
Curious if you still have the original fuel tank?....full steam ahead...love it!
