I had the luxury of doing some long-desired work on my boat this spring while it was in my driveway. I changed the beat-up aluminum rubrail, refinished some of the wood, stripped and painted the engine (I love Evinrudes, but never liked the blue), and did a lot of unseen updates/repairs. I think it's now in better shape than ever.
I still can't post photos to my gallery page, so I'll upload some here for the time being. I'm planning to splash her next weekend. I'm looking forward to a fun summer, and I wish everyone here the same. |

Beautiful Fitz, just beautiful. I really like the new color on the Evinrude. I like the older V's better than my 1991 at times because of all the beautiful teak. I just have 2 teak rails for the sliding hatch.

Best looking V on this site, in my humble opinion. I'm responsible for a few hundred views in your gallery! Well done.

Questions
Where are the " curb feelers" on the trailer wheels ? How come the console isn't lined with plush pink fur ? Is it strung up with little lights - like christmas bulbs at night ? Is it equiped with one of those old fashioned car horns ? When's the parade ? I want to see it come down my street !! Oh man, I crack myself up........ Fabulous looking boat man. To be proud of. |
