After 12 years in the shop without even turning it over, It's back in the land of the living.

No Title

Still working, slow and steady wins the race in my book and it also keeps Murphy off your back.

I finished up the steering but I just could not leave well enough alone I just had to do a little customizing.

I went through the splash well with brass fittings and went with stainless braded hoses to the hydraulic cylinder.

Wow that floor is really something. Don't worry, I'm representing the CT branch of old starcrafts until you get her on the water! Do you boat LIS? I get a lot of comments from people when I go out, I think it's nostalgic to a lot of people, someone's uncle or whatever always had one in the 70s

I also finished the gages and all the wiring under the CC.

Also Installed the T-top but still have to wire the lights on it.

Finished the bow deck and installed a hatch, lots & lots of room in there for ropes & anchors & a spare prop

Keg of beer and I think a dog or two might even fit. LOL
