Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

It does look good. My fear is that it will be like the 73 superglide I had, You will never be able to keep that aluminum shined like that..........but you will try.

I think it'll hold up fine once I get sharkhide on it. I'd even be fine with going over it twice a year if need be, the guy I used is very reasonable in the price!

Got my boat back today from the detail guy, it looks awesome.. The cool thing was, we stopped by a fast food place on the way home. I stayed in the truck while my wife ran in and got us some food, she said this guy about knocked her down trying to get outside to look at my toon as I pulled away.. I parked around the side by the drive through and I could see people in there cars looking and pointing at the boat, about 10 of them went out of the way to come drive by the boat and take pictures. It was pretty cool! Here is a couple pics I took, I'll get some better ones after I get it cleaned up and sealed with sharkhide.







I also finally received my console today, after being sent the wrong one, sending it back, getting this one shipped only for it to be lost by the freight company... It's been frustrating but I finally have it. There won't be any gauges in this console, since I'm going with a verado I'm going to use the smartcraft 7" vessel view display... I'll get the fiberglass I use to fill in the holes that are there now, it should look awesome!



Here's how the side console will be positioned by the console. These will be fiberglassed together and will also have a riser box built under them

Wow ryan I need my shades! Great console!

Thanks Craig!

Excellent shine Ryan. I wish there was a detail guy around this neck of the Northwoods that did that kind of work as I sure ain't gonna do it myself.
Nice call on the Vessel View. You'll love it, not to mention how neat the install will look!

Those toons are incredible Ryan.... incredible.

Thanks guys.

Todd, I've wanted shiny toons for along time and never could get any good results I wanted. Finding this guy has been awesome for a guy like me! I'm really excited about the vessel view also, every gauge I need and then some, then there's the cool factor.

Finally got my vinyl installed, I've been so worried about the sticky residue I couldn't get off the wood so I've just been putting it off! My dad gave me a hand the other day and we knocked it out. Turned out pretty good, I'm defiantly happy! Suppose to get another quote for the rails this week.

I'm liking the flooring. Its all looking great!

Thanks

We need more updates!

Ya I hear ya but sadly that's all I've done! I'm probably going to get my father in law to do some painting for me pretty soon, I'm gonna paint the rub rails and tube risers bright red like I did on my last boat. Just have to go buy the supplies and get him over here. I'm also getting another quote for the custom rails this week, I had another guy lined up and gave him the thumbs up but it just dident work out.

You could always mod the doors to fit the 8.5' beam. Of course I know how partial you are to RED though!!!

That looks AWESOME Ryan!
