Hey Chris ,

The boat looks really good ! Glad to see that you went with fairing over the windshield & those bolsters also look much better cut down.

Thanks, The original gelcoat still looks good, there are a few spots that will need a little more polishing before next summer. Until I can make a final decision on sit down vs stand up I am using that interior. I only reduced the height by 2" and dropped the bottoms by 2". Chris

My vote is for the bolsters & not sit downs especially in a 28. As I have said before no offense to the sitdown fans because they seem to be the majority on here , I have just always been a fan of the classic bolsters... Although I have no doubt that the newer style sitdowns a very comfy & serve there purpose really well..

I take it you got your drive taken care of ?

Completely rebuilt drive, I am adding remote oil reservoir and drive cooling too. I ran 15 hours of easy break in then 10 more after that with no problems. Maybe I should just recover the interior in white.

Glad to hear the drive is working out. I wouldn't think you will have any more problems with it as long as everything is right ( which I am sure it is ) , Although I was surprised that you had any to start with. From what I have heard those drives are Super Tough !

I never was the biggest fan of the red interior on the blue But to be honest it looks really good in the pictures... White would look good but man is it hard to keep clean ! Just put you some small flags up front & it will all blend in.... Its kinda funny because my very next boat ended up with the same color interior....

Dude! Sweet!

Man, I forget how beutiful the Adarondack region, and specifically Lake George are...

seriously, thats unbelievably beautiful...
but in all honesty, if my backyard looked like that... i'd be pissed having ot hear bbc V8s running w/ no muffler system.

Those cliffs look like some areas on Smith Lake in AL.
Very nice.

I don't know Storm-Audio and video seem to go well together

At least there's water in your lake. I've forgot what it looks like not to see a dirt bank
