Hey Gott....How about an update?
 

What's up with that new wave-crusher? Pics? What's the plan? Jealous. Best, D911

Sorry bro....no update yet...just cleaning, labeling and refinishing some bits and pieces...government shutdown kicked me a tad...f'd up some real estate stuff....just have to be patient...still plan to launch on April 1, 2014....the fool that I am...once real progress starts you guys will be the first to know....

That boats gonna feel like the 26 but on massive steroids when you're done. Pysched for you dude. D

Anyone with resto advice feel free to offer it. .. As in what would you do different....what works...etc (Wade)...
I have plans for interior/ upholstery...keeping TRS.. Looking to build a "sligjtly quick family cruiser"...454's at 450-550hp....

Don't take my advise!!! I always end up doing way too much and spending way too much. It all depends on if you want to use it while you restore it. If so, just do a little here and there. Or, you can rip everything out of it and start fresh. That's usually what I do but I don't recommend it for any marriage/pocketbook. Call me though if you have any questions. I'm happy to help. Looks like you have a great foundation to start with.

Going the strip'er route....all new stuff...or at least rebuilt. Marriage was shot before new boat.... Finally have time and money...kids and I are poised for adventure!
Besides, I'm modeling my carport ( boatport?) after your paint booth!
