Did you paint or gelcoat the exterior? If paint, what brand/type. I've got a 22' center console that needs to look like that.

Re: another steal update with pictures. 3/26/08

i came with a brand new custom made windshield, found receipt, $290.00. it came with a 1966 50 hp Merc.

the paint is actually gloss Rustoleum oil base, roll and tip. i had really good results with it. cheap, easy to apply.

took some better pics this morning, with the sun in the right place.

Looks great TD. Does the Merc run? Been meaning to ask, what type roller and brush do you use when painting roll-n-tip with that Rustoleum?

typical HD 3 inch roller, 3 inch polyester brush. i use the brush more in hard to get areas, the rustoleum is pretty much self leveling.

motor has great compression, no spark, could be dirty points, waiting on manual.

Tashadaddy you did a great job with it. Do you plan to keep it or sell it?

Thats cool! I wish i had the extra money to do stuff like that. That sounds neat. You are sort of a service to those that are lower middle class. Thats neat. I wonder if that is tax deductable? Hmmmm
