It's tough to age when your pickled Just went on the DONZI site and still wont let me post.There is a guy on there that goes by the name Freeplay that just bought a Baron a while back and had a new interior made,could you try to talk to him and see if he will tell you where he had his done and how much he paid,thats the only thing thats holding my boat up and after the last two experiences i had getting interiors done around here i don't want to deal with any more in this area.

If anyone's interested, i know where 2 used BH drives can be had with props for around 3500 canadian each.

What's a BH drive?

BlackHawk.

1 for monza
1 for traviss
