They are all great boats, thought they were all the same. Im now smarter this morning,
Heavy, but full cabins, makes them great boats.
Rough water, eats it up!
Would not change mine, kids would kill me
Best part will be starting up those v8 motors at the beach,
Huge blue clouds, looks like rain coming, too funny watch old ladies giving you funny looks
Dont stand down wind, love 2 stocks,,
But man your doing a great job!, need new pics.

Been a while so I figured I would update.
Work has picked up like crazy. Hardly have time for anything let alone trying to do glass work in 30 degree weather. I started to pull apart the motors and hope to have them resealed with new bearings by the spring. I also, took on another project..... Picked up a friends modded wrx (sleeper wagon) with a blown motor that I'm also rebuilding. The fun never ends.
