Welcome to the forum. Great find and nice work Kind of a modern look for a classic boat. What part of the country are you in?

Interesting. Captain chair on both sides. Just curious why you would face the observer seat forward? Looks like a raisable bolster? Ive seen those on newer boats and am jealous! Looks like nice work!

Well when I got this boat it didn't have an enterior so this is what I came up with a loose captain.s chair you can face.it forwards backwords or take it out and putting a larger base on it keeps it upright in any situation

JDM, I took the liberty of merging your two threads together and I moved it to the Pride and Joy section where I think it this thread is better suited. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or issues with this move.

You should definatly put some rgb LEDs in that bad boy with a music controller
!!! I put some in mine all for around $50. Huge difference.

I like the color combo, would have never imagined green ext / tan interior but it really looks great together. Well done.
