That paint looks incredible.

What is it? Sprayed?

I absolutely love the lines of the boat and you know that it will be necessary to tow that with a 1964 Impala or a 64 Cadillac Cyclone painted the same color.

What are the interior plans? It looks like it begs for a good old tuck and roll treatment to the seats

Beautiful work. Are you rebuilding the older motor?

That has to be one of the sweetest classics I have ever seen. Thanks for posting the photos. Now I am wondering where I can find one like it.

thank you bob,its sprayed,the teal is metallic,its basecoat clearcoat,since we dont plan on leaving it in the water it will be trailered home everytime out.,funny you should mention caddilac,i was thinking of useing 59 caddy cone taillights on the rockets in the back,and make them work,even with the trailer lights.,as for the interior we bought seats 1st and 12 yards of matching vinyl,i then made or retro fitted it all,except the seats,i did however had to cut the bases down to fit the boat.the console was bought ,then i made a base for it then upholstered it to match.the splaswell cover i made from using the old one as a pattern,heres a few pics.
i also made the sides.and the dash to look just like the original only with the teal vinyl.
