Beautiful boat! Between that country bumpkin music and the camera work I think I'm gonna be sick, for the first time in my life I was happy to hear the beach boys.

50 years later still the best looking boat on the water. Are the window frames powder coated?

They were not powder coated, awlgriped. We have just recently filled in the front windows. This video was from last year.

I'm in the minority here. I like my windows! She looks great either way though. How did the awl grip hold up?

It held up very well, the problem was it was already corroding from lack of care from the last owner. I do love the look with the windows, but they leaked around where the corner windows were fastened and where the front two windows open, and the last owner put an awful tint on the windows. Those were the main reasons for being sealed up.

First time I have ever been sea sick. LOL

She looks good. Unlike Pete, I liked the theme song.

I love the yellow hull with matching soft top on the flybridge. I would like to do something similar down the road. Do you have any photos of the boat at dock or moored/just a good side profile pic?

I do have some photos. We are in the process of redoing the interior, can I get you some once it is done?
