Thanks so much for taking the time Mr. Wilson. This only proves why this is the biggest little site on the Whirled Wild Web. You just cain't get this stuff no where else!

Awsome shots and if you would send me Hi-Res that would be appreciated. You can send them to anything in front of @ monkeybutler.com and I will get them but between you and me and everyone else here use [email protected]

I guess my first question is why would you chuck your old hood? You could get something off of ebay I bet?

Secondly, as far as removing the graphics the only way I think is by sanding the old ones off and doing a repint but replacement decals are over $200! I think Master Skools has expertise in this area and I hope he will chime in. Until then with a few more posts I should be able to get a lock on your locale and then....

yea....I wondered if there was a market for it....I'm starting to know myself....I could picture it in my garage for the next 3 years pissing me off as I moved it from place to place so out it went.....well I did get back so now I have a chance to prove my point.

hey .. that boat is looking good !!!!

where did you get those ss thru hulls? were they expensive? they look real nice.

got them from marinepartdepot.com that Winnidave posted about a while ago. I think they went up a buck a piece from when I bought them.

Wilson, I noticed the NJ registration. Where about are you doing most of your boating? By the way the boat looks great:clap:

thanks for the compliments on the boat.....although it is my belief that as well as a camera adding 10 lbs it also takes off 10 years at least on boats....it does have its issues....

For quick trips I go freshwater to Lake Hopatcong, NJ....although the lake is screwed this year as they lower the water level 4'+ every 5 years so people can maintain their bulkheads and docks....with the cold December we had the lake froze early and they couldnt raise it without risking damage to docks....as a result they only just closed the dam last week....unless we get ALOT of rain this spring there will be no boating there for a while..

For saltwater I go to Raritan Bay, usually out of Leonardo (because Atlantic Highlands is usually full by the time I can get my act together) Sometimes out of Liberty State Park by the Statue for cruising NY. Havent made it down to your neck of the woods yet but hopefully soon.

How'd you come across that enclosure? Looks Great.

Found a guy on Craigslist less than 10 miles from my house that had same year and model boat as mine...he got hit while towing and sent the boat flying off the trailer and had to scrap the hull. Got the enlcosure and an almost new fuel tank off of him. Definitely a once in a blue moon occurance.

Good find on that enclosure...it'll STRETCH the season for ya...nice lookin' V...you and yer little companion have lots of stories to to come...:clap:

Very nice Wilson, let me know when you want to hook up on the valley since we can't do it on Hopatcong like we talked about. They are slamming Lakers there now with some nice Rainbows and Browns coming in
