RICK! GET OUTTA MY HEAD MAN! Ever since I read your post yesterday I've had a mental of your 190+ pounds on that bow...dressed like her.....oh man the agony..........LOL!​


dwhite ain't right there fellas...LOL

Wait till you see my 250lbs on the bow of my Holiday..I am thinking I will add a little bracing since I dont see me going back to my fighting weight of 185 anytime soon! ok ever.

That reminded me of my wife's family and her sister's wedding......I get all choked up just reading it......except at that wedding the bride wore a maternity wedding dress and had a bottle of Jack Daniels and a cigarette in her hands...and instead of removing and tossing the garter, they pried off her house arrest ankle bracelet......honeymoon was spent noodling for catfish in the river​

Now thats funny right there!!!

Andy I got to thinkin about your emblems and getting the paint off and then it hit me Der der der . I play with Plastic car models as one of my other much older hobbies and we use brake fluid and or oven cleaner to remove chrome plating and old paint off of them without hurting the plastic :D.


Rick

well, i hit it with some plain old fashioned sand paper last night, and they cleaned up pretty good. im gonna hit em with some paint tonight and see how they look.

dwhite ain't right there fellas...LOL

im going to add some bracing too, like ive mentioned we beach alot and need to get ashore... im thinking plain old 2x4's...


so while im in the house fixin some dinner i'll give you all an update...


got the dash in (and it came out HORRIBLE... but it will do for now), trim pieces and windshield mount. the "tray" isnt getting vinyl, havent decided what yet, but its going to get something...

What about a 1/4 inch "L" trim or somthing running along that edge of the tray and dash???

Andy your headed in the right direction Go for it :D:D. I agree with Kev on the Dash look at Homie Desperate or Lowered expectations for some vinyl 1/4 round or something like that to cover the bottom edge of the dash and for the tray Napa sells a spatter paint in a spray bomb that would look good . I am using it in the cubby's on the sides of mine. I like the horn I am planning an AOOOOOOOOOOGA horn for mine :D.

I wish mine were still that young and gullible.

LOL my 3 year-old son asks me EVERY day "Dad can we wash the boat?" and he also always says yes when I ask him if he wants to go fishing on the boat:D

ROFLMAO enjoy it while you can . My 14YO wanted me to finish mudding and tapeing her new room so she could paint it and move in so I said ok you go out and sand the boat and I will finish the drywall in your new room ( She went into a giggling fit ) needless to say she didnt get mud or tape for 2 days :D:D:D. She already had a room upstairs but wanted her new room downstairs with the older kids :D.

i cant even tell you when the last time we saw 90 was. back in april we had a day where it was 88 or 89... i think i remember a few 90's from last summer. ALL TIME record high here is 94, back in the 50's.
