Very nice resto. I wonder if Wavy Boats youtube channel might have gotten some footage of you at haulover inlet.

it’s seadek, they have distributors around the country, They came out and measured. I picked out the colors and sent them the beetle graphic and scarab decal jpeg images, they sent me a sample image, I approved and they had it done in a week and 1/2. Getting them out to start with took a few weeks.

There were drones all around us when we went out and when we came back in, so we’ll see. 😀

thanks it’s taken about 4 times longer than I thought it would. If it wasn’t for being able to keep this thread going,and get input from you guys I might have lost motivation years ago.
