I wonder if he used foam in the hull? Hmmmmm?

I wonder if those brake lights are functional?

Re: Restoration gone wrong??

I LIKE it...but might make man overboard drills kinda tricky. Wonder if it has a sun/moon roof? Bait dispenser in the dash?

A stiff wind might make things interesting. Wonder if the turn signals work?

Re: Restoration gone wrong??

2 other things come to mind...
1) VIN# vs. HIN#
2) hook up the emergency brake pedal to an anchor release??

Re: Restoration gone wrong??

Needs Plexiglas aft around the out board. Wonder how it would look on my hunkydory?

Re: Restoration gone wrong??

It's cool, but wouldn't that much weight that high above the center of gravity make it a scary ride? Man, a few waves and that could get wild.

Re: Restoration gone wrong??

I wondered if the headlights work, or if they wre replaced with the proper Red/Green for navigation...

I agree, plexiglass in the rear would be more fitting. Can't see the helm through the windows, I wonder where they put it. Up on teh front dash would have been great...
