    Yeah I decided to keep it classy, to better match the boat. So 2 5/8’s black face livorsi’s with chrome mega bezel will look close to period correct and still update the boat at the same time - also saved $15k from not going motec lol maybe one day if I put an efi deal in it

    We have interior! Chose "French Vanilla" to blend better with the off white color of the boat. Done by Rene @ Riverside Boat Upholstery

    Back to the trailer porn! Later that night Nick had it positioned on the trailer and new bunk height measured and mocked The Next Day - We had a bow rest! I was so indecisive and I finally told nick to do his thing and surprise me, he build a v rest to the angle of the bow (to obviously be...

    While Nick was doing his thing, Lalo made extensive headway on the exterior and it came out killer! He went above and beyond, respraying all of the almond and clearing the wood grain. We decided to go a couple shades darker on the brown to a chocolate color vs the lighter brown it was. Loving...

    With everything making headway it was time to make more progress elsewhere... Trailer time! So of course I called my buddy Nick Valore (@cj222) of MadSkillz Custom Fabrication in Pomona, CA, who in my opinion is ground zero for custom trailers and refurb! This old "Flexie Flyer" Competitive...

    While Lalo was doing his thing it was time to start making headway on the hardware; chroming/polishing what was still useable and machining new brackets, plates, etc for what isn't going to be used or changing. I was careful as possible pulling the transom hardware apart as I wanted to reuse as...

    Once arrived in Hesperia @ Lalo's we went over what began a basic list of to-do's and "blue taping" of holes to be filled and bouncing ideas of gel work and interior/exterior plans! Those plans consisted of: - Full Capping - Filling all dash holes except for the gauges and steering for a clean...

    After hours of possession the disassembly started! Initial plans were too just get the boat stripped and off to RSS Gel Work (Steve Vossemeyer, MurderVector) for full interior and exterior fiberglass and gel resto! The worst part - trying to remove frozen hardware that hadn't been touched...

    Around December @Outdrive1 twisted my arm (which didn't take a lot of twisting) into buying this cream puff 22! It was indoor stored for most of it's life and almost all original with a history of ski racing in Lake Arrowhead (The Cumming's boat per @025). The boat showed as it probably did...
