Thats awesome, we used to have one similar but it was green and an out board. How big is the engine.

no, not in salt water. Motor is a ford 302 that next year will be swapped out for a 351 stroked to a 408.

Looks good - but you may want to make the motor more acccessible incase you have to do any work on it.

brian_216,

i am looking to possibly do the same and i have some questions for you, or anybody that knows..

1. what are those pads on the benches made from and where do you get them?
2. where did you get the carpet?
3. how much was the carpet/bench foam and upholstry? how much did you end up spending?
