Here is a picture of Walt Walters, the designer of the fabulous Fino (among other classics)

Pretty boat - would ride well - compliments to the level of restore.

The sink could be removed and replaced with A/C in that area. Stereo all new and working.
Cabin all done. Starters bump now. Next fuel lines and water lines. Rub rail this week. Boot stripe next week. Getting close.
Look at that floor!

OK, my red Fino is sold and delivered to a real nice young man in Texas. I am glad to see it go to a 28 year old that will take it to the next level. I wish him good luck and many happy times like I had.

On another note, the silver Fino is coming right along and is still for sale. I will post . This is us fitting the top cover, hatches (corecell and fiberglass) and the upholstered pads. The teak top covers were fabricated and the bare plywood was laminated up and will be upholstered like the rest of the interior. LOOKING GOOD!

I saw the silver boat in person, the pics do not do it justice, someone is going to get a nice boat!
