nice project....I may just show up at your lake this summer!

Really? Now that would be some kind of road trip!:eek: If you do ever come this way, you should seriously consider Powell..that place is just flat out in a league of its own.

Well that is one reason I wanted a smaller boat....figured it might be fun to hit the road and see some new lakes! I shouldn't even tell that Miss Morgan is behind me! On the other hand, my Sea Ray is like pulling the Queen Marry! :eek: Not good on the mileage!

Re: 1995 Monterey 210 Deck/Stringer Restore

Hey guys...now that the inside is refurbished and ready to go, I wanted to do some "updating" to the outside. Bring the Monterey logo's up today and freshin it up a bit.

I have a good friend that is a bit of an entrepreneur. Owns a vinyl graphics business a funny car team and another large company dealing with efficient energy. He is going to dial me in with the graphics, his work is really good and he has won many awards for it. If anybody is interested in having him do some lettering, boat names or graphics for the hull, let me know.

Anyway, here is what we are thinking..might be a few tweaks here and there..but I like it, should bring it up to date. I had to get rid of those old Gold "Monterey" letters and pin striping.:p

Before:

After:

This is his car, the lettering in "GreenFuel" is going to be the coloring of my graphics for the most part.

Those graphics are awesome! That'll make the girl look 10 years younger. I might be interested in something like that myself.

MTribe08,
Those graphics will really be cool.
I'm looking at a wrap for mine. Not sure just yet.
Keep up the great work.

Finally made it out on the Water for the first time this season!! It was a fantastic day, and God willing we'll have many of more of them this summer.

Can't tell you how happy I am with the way the interior came out..the layout is so much better now..so much more room and the captains chair is the "Cats Meeow!" Here are a few shots..Hope everybody is doing well and gearing up for the summer!

Thanks Guys! Yes, being out on the water again made it all worth it, the kids had a blast! Shouldn't be more than a few weeks and the water temp will really start to get nice.:)

The fun is just beginning:D:eek:

Indeed..get it in gear! Its a nice like, very good size and some nice coves to do some wakeboarding and such. There were alot of "GO FAST" boats out on Sunday..I'm talking big 38ft Fountains with twin screws and blown big blocks, smokin across the lake at 70mph plus. Insane:eek: Some very fine "scenery" too I might add:D:D
