I know the switch panel looks like a kid lettered it but that's how it was done.

Attention to detail! that's why this is a restoration, not a rebuild! Beautiful work and what an iconic save!

Wow! Superb!

Incredible build and attention to detail!

Question/observation - With all those fuel fills and vents on the deck, it seems like the crew would be constantly smelling and misted with gas with full tanks.

Alot easier to fill from front when gasing from military transport plane while both are underway. LOL.

Serious note, on my crappy computer it looks like a panel that hasn't been put down yet, but is resting on frt of boat during pic. I dunno.

sorry to say this, but you are gonna have to dig in the trailer a little bit!!! Picture 2 Does not match the look of the boat at all!!!

Nicely done!!!

The trailer goes in for its makeover after we lift the boat on to the dipster trailer that we had built for the boat that's under Smokin Joe right now. As for the fuel fills they are Dry Breaks they don't leak they are spring loaded and a pain to use stiff springs.
