Re: My Resto

Really cool boat Boatingbob! She’s a work of art, I like the way you retained the cable steering with the big old steering wheel it gives it the “classic” look. Yep, that boat was built when men were men and sheep were afraid ;o) I put those same seats in a 11’ Sprite I restored once and had trouble with them, when they get hot from the sun they get soft and you can fall over backwards, be careful! I ended up with regular upholstered seats. Do you think you can let me borrow it for the rest of the summer? ;o)

Re: My Resto

SWEET, especially keeping the pulley system,, keep the seats covered when not in use. the UV rays tend to dry them out, and the surface begins to powder. the graphics on the tank are great. Congrates

The rub rail was already on the boat I just removed it and cleaned it and installed it on the resto with some new molding tape.

"very very nice job, check you bow light would'nt want you to get a fine"

I think what he means is that the lenses are reversed... right?? I did that once by mistake when I was fixing the light on my Dad's boat. "Right of way" become the "wrong of way" if you know what I mean. People to your right (when you're sitting at the wheel) should see a green bow light IIRC from my boating course.

Nice job on the boat.
