Heard it on the news the other day, they are going from carolina blue to red.

I remember back when I was younger living down there they were red and switched to blue, now back to red.

I hate the new plates >:( They look like crap.

Re: Almost done
 

You did a great job on a sweet V. Well done bud ;)

Re: Almost done
 

I hope mine looks half that good when I'm done. PRETTY WORK!!!

Thanks fellas, hard work does pay off! I used Captains marine varnish on the teak, and sanded between coats (5 coats each piece) with 600 grit sandpaper.I hope they last awhile. Ill be running her in theChowan river,Albemarle sound (crabbing),and around Oregon Inlet on the Outer Banks. I really like the I/O 170. My buddys got a 86 V with a 470 I/O, which is basically the same thing. Mine is a 170 engine with a alpha one outdrive. I rebuilt it all. I bought it not running, and not knowing it had a rotten transom! I worked on it for 51 weeks before finally putting it in the water. That first ride was really sweet!
