Just picked her up, pretty darn excited.
99 42 with 500hps. She's in good shape but lots of little things and lots of possibilities, thinking of:
- remove the arch
- cutting down the windshield
- paint?
- dye the vinyl
On a side note - any tips on cleaning the bilge? Been scrubbing away and it's not coming out like I'd hoped, used to a smooth finish in daddy's formula bilge

I've seen the old style windshields cut down. Didn't know these could be done... Would like some info...
Nice boat!

If you really want it clean (I do this more often than not) is again fill the bilge with hot water add Simple Green and a couple of tennis balls. At this point the boat is on the trailer and I drive to wherever I'm going, pull the drain plug- remove the tennis balls and hose out till clear. The agitation with the tennis balls really does a good job. If I could attach a pic of the bilge I could -- but it really does keep it clean.
