Love it or hate it? For my $0.02 I'm not a big fan of it. If you want all that, fine. But why do that to a cla$$ic? |

I admire the craftmanship. Looks like it was all done first rate. Just not my personal style. BKH ------------- Livin' the Dream |

| I love it. Best custom job I've ever seen. I like original, but would much rather see an old CC that needed total restoration be done up like that, rather than turn it into a bar or some sort of ornament. |

Nope no law, and to each their own. The work is first rate. Really, it's impressive.
I'm just asking why do that to a rare boat when there are so many other boats that are not as rare, and would, if done up, would display their work just as well. And I agree with Riley, it is better than the boat sitting in a boneyard somewhere with the stringers rotting, the hull hogging out of shape with rain water pooling in the bilge and that 327 freezing up. Just not my cup of tea. |

You beat me to the punch. I would much rather see some "pimp my boat" special, rather it being used for a bar or something of the sort. Although, I would rather see it as a bar, than sent to the scrap yard. I don't really like the boat, but what a nice job someone did on it. Who would take the time to turn that boat into what looks like an advertising scheme for someone? Nice job on the boat, but I'm not buying. IMO, keep it as close to original as possible. -JMurph ------------- |

Murph,
I think it is an advertizing "banner" if you will for JL Audio... I'd like to see the bank of batteries this rig has to even light all those speakers up?? Bet it doesn't even have an engine, just amps under the doghouse...Unfortunately, no one's going to buy it for that price... Too Bad.. I'm sure the hour meter on the work done is out the roof..

Nicely done, I see it as advertising and not a cla$$ic CC. Those seats don't look comfortable at all. ------------- |

Definately an add for his audio business. Nicely done but excessive as most of that over the top audio is.
Practical, not really but I'm sure that was not the intent either. The boat itself and the workmanship without all the audio gaga is actually pretty darn cool. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Wait just a second, you bunch of overly opinionated jacka$$es! I think that boat looks FANTASIC! I like it so much that I've had some new styling performed on my '63 Cla$$ic which my real friends tell me is the bomb, so I obviously need to find a new website of boat friends to hang with. Riley, you're welcome to go for a ride, but nobody else.

Eric, I wear TRIFOCALS and even had a hard time looking at it. I think dark sun gla$$es would be better to shield the eyes from the bright colors. Someone will buy it as we all do have different tastes. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Frk, were you talking about my new real deal boat or the ebay imposter?
Doc, forget about the brown dogs. For some reason, my chocolates won't ride in it now. I'm getting me several poodles who know what cla$$ is all about.......and with lime dog vests. Steve, I'm still a novice at being cool. I'll try and remember the hat. The neon lights short out every time I launch her. I did the graphics myself. ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

reidp, gotta have those little yappy poodles,not the real onesthat stand 3 ft. tall.The lime vests go wellw/white dog.
And ya gotta ditch the hat,too redneck,replace with one of those Skipper hats. It only costs a little more to go first cla$$,and by the way what do the graphics say on the side of this new custom pimp ride ? boat dr ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

OK Kevin, I guess you can ride too. At least you picked up on the graphics. Maybe I'll bring her to "Green" Lake.

If he hasn't sold that boat before July we should talk him into bringing it to Green lake.
I bet if we cranked that sucker up to 11 for about a half hour all the fish in the lake would float to the top dead, we could have a heck of a fish fry.  ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Reid , Your custom job is far better.
Did you make the V drive mod too !! 
All you need now is......... A TOWER loaded with speakers and kc daylighters !! Just kidding, you do that to your cla$$ic and you loose you're membership to Boat Club !!

Tim, you just about killed me with that adder. Great thinking.
I think most agree that the craftsmanship is there. While I'm really big on originality, I do like a plethora of color, and I do like some additional period-correct colors other than the 3-4 colors originally available on a two-tone Cla$$ic hull. The pastels from the late 50's-60's really look good on these hulls to me. If this boat had original style white seats maybe with some green piping, I feel most would have given it the OK. Except for maybe Pete, as he's tough, but I certainly respect him for it. Unrelated but related, we finally had the 390 Interceptor engine pulled from our Cla$$ic this past week. And after a healthy but conservative rebuild, it will be repainted the original Interceptor light green. ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

Wow! Nice job for sure. I like it....But good luck getting $25,000.00 for it. Hope they do. I'd like to do something like that and still make a few $$.
By the way,I love the cla$$ics too. ------------- Scott |

Yeah, like all red deck and hull with white interior. I've got a friend that has a small marina on a lake that sells gas, rents moorings and boats. He was dabling in selling some kind of v hull I/Os and had one coming in that he had ordered. He ordered it with nice colors, but it came in light purple with pink accents. It took him 3 years to sell that pig. |
