I have finished my floor/stringer,and interior work that I began last summer!Well I did have a local boat shop here in Indy make the seats and do all of the upholestry.I sold my house and bought another and have been spending all of my free time the new house.Anyway as soon as they are finished making my new bimini top I will pick up,bolt on a brand new carb, and finally put in the water!!! It looks beautiful!! Well worth all of the headaches!Thanks to the "pumkin patch" forum and all of the advice!If someone can tell me how, Iwould love to post pics!

Kevin,
If your wanting to post pics in the forums? You need to do that thru a photo host site. There is a sticky in the "Off Topic" area of the forums showing how to use Photobucket. We would like to see how its going. |

Hey Sam did you like the design of the observer seat that we came up with? Notice how we turned the "fake glovebox" cover into a padded headrest? I decided it was better for me this way with the wife and baby,We wont have to walk around a bench seat.I can always put that in when our boy is a little older. I also went with different colors.Just couldnt stomach the aqua blue! Youll have to give me your number again and I will call in a couple of weeks and if you are not busy we can go to raccoon lake one day for its maiden voyage.

Kevin, boat looks good! In case you wanted to grab an original fuel gauge, Great Lakes Skipper still has some.

Hey thanks trbenji for the heads up on the fuel guage! I was pretty disappointed when I saw the black one! And thanks again buffalo for the "patch"! I was pretty lost because of all the rot until I saw your post! I also foamed in my floor as well. One of these I will post all of my pics.The installation of the new 27 gal fuel cell and the way that they built the back seat around it is just amazing!This guy has his own boat shop in his backyard and restores a lot of classics from all over the states.He has a site with many before/after photos of some cool boats! It is indy covers if anyone is interested.I hate paying someone to finish it up but when I look at the pic I cant believe that it is mine.He called today and he is bending the aluminum for the bimini top now.

Kevin,
The seats, Speekers, and carpet look awsome!! You should be very proud. When are you planning a shakedown? I think I will put mine in the water Sunday if the weather hold out. Looks good, Sam |
