Default Bus gets a face lift

Bus now at the fiberglass shop to get the deck re-done . Having them pull out the interior for me to have updated . That just leaves the gauges in the spring . Come on spring !!!

keeping the 6 man , don't think there is room for a back seat . Plus it's probably safer for the crew to keep it. Also this winter hoping to get the props dialed in , got them boxed up and ready to ship out . Shooting to have a faster better looking boat by spring . I think now I'm glad she didn't sell .

I thought there was only one color on a boat. Lots of GREEN $$$.

Beats they hell out of spending 200K, besides she's a classic, I really like the Bus. I finally got the fever out of me too on a new purchase. Ya got to work on all of them might as well be paid for right?

Deck will have fresh new fiberglass and I might just leave the sides the way they are . Excited to have her looking refreshed . Hoping tweeking the props will make a big difference in top end to . It's going to seem like a long winter .

Ray, Are you putting a whole new deck on or just repairing the old(That deck was all wood, right?) Might lose a pound or 2. Keep us posted when the BUS is up and running and the light house Tours start up again and the wife and I will have to buy a ticket(Lunch) LOL
