You did all that work in 2 weeks? AWESOME! I think it came out excellent. It looks like a brand new boat!

I see it is all loaded up with your fishing gear....Have you taken it out yet? How was the motor?

i worked on it day and night for two weeks straight about 120 hours all together the motor runs like a top i am taking it out tonight to do some bass fishing.thank you for your positive reply i didnt know how good the carpet looked i got a few spots of glue i need to clean up

no it is all original except the inside when i got it it had never been polished i found some polish on the internet called mad dog aluminum polish i polished it by hand with 0000 stellwool then polished it again by hand if i had a buffer it would shine better

Looks like it came off the showroom floor! Great work and Welcome Aboard! 8)

Looks great, like a brand new boat. You did an excellent job. =D>

I have to agree,that boat looks sharp...great job

Wow. You want help me with some of the cosmetic work on my projects? I can run all guns blazing down the construction parts, but when it comes to carpet and paint and all, I get lost.....

Heck, central Alabama, I would bring the boat to you to help me do some carpet work....

Just an amazing finish to that boat. Almost looks like you chromed your rig.

That is one great looking boat man. Good job!
