Default Pics of my '59 Funliner

I finally got my $400 Funliner last Saturday. The trip home was painless. Yesterday was beautiful so I gave her a quick clean up and snapped some pics. Seats are original and still in good shape. Next spring she will get the buffing wheel to bring the shine back. I plan on replacing the steering cable over the weekend and if the weather holds out, we may put her in the water.

Joe

Somehow I knew you'd like this one ziggy

Cool boat joe1267! Would you mind resizing your pics to 640x480? You can do it with one click right in photobucket and you won't have to edit your post here. Thanks,

Ziggy, I think you hit the nail right on the head. We are looking forward to many years of enjoyment with the old hardtop. Can't wait to put her in the water and fire up the old 'Rude hanging on the back. Who knows, maybe tomorrow..

yep, ya got me pegged for sure ez.... i might even like it more than a nineteen. i like the way aristocraft used a matrix
of fiberglass under the inner hull liner. that instead of foam in the nineteens.. http://www.aristocraftboats.com/fibe...linerpage5.pdf

Ezmobee, I would love to resize them, but I CANNOT for the life of me figure out how to. I have tried the right clicking, but can't see where that allows me to change the size. I am very new to photobucket....Joe

When you're in your photobucket album each picture has an "edit" link next to it. Click it.

Or, click on the specific picture to bring up the page with just that picture on it. Just hovering over it with your mouse should bring up a menu, one of which is resize. You have to be logged in to photobucket for these options to come up. That may have been your problem.

I must be photobucket challenged. I went back in resized them to 640x480, edited my original post with the new resized pics and they are still the same.....
