looking good John, what would a guy do with out his nice warm garage and boat to redo when it's 30 below outside right.

 

[budski]

Thanks Glen, usind a small 220 V construction heater, haven't got a hydro bill yet hate to see it.

 

[Tnstratofam]

Everything is looking good. What I like the most about all your rebuilds is how the interior has the look of a custom job with the ruggedness of a factory build. If that even makes any sense.:facepalm: Where did you find those grab bats? I really like the way they look.

 

[budski]

Thanks TN, thats our intention to make make them look factory, I look at a lot of the new boats on line starcraft, lund etc and get a lot of ideas from them, I bought the grab handles from a guy that bought out all surplus from a boat factory that went bankrupt, but you can get them from a marine supply store or online.

Got interior lights mounted, also rear grab handles.

[64osby]

You make it look so easy!

But then a garage to work in really helps.

 

[dozerII]

She's looking real good John, what's the plan with the hull does it just need a polish? At this rate your still going to have 3 months of winter lefts with out a project??

 

[budski]

Thanks 64 yes a garage does help, Glen I don't think I'll even have to polish the hull the paint is in really great condition, needs a wash but thats about it, yes thanks for reminding me 3 months of winter darn it.
