Rocket Ship "Fun Ticket"

[Garry]

I had the pleasure of joining Gail Culp last weekend for the 1st blue water fishing trip on "Fun Ticket". Many of you saw Gail's work in progress restoring a 1966 Bahia Mar at the 2005 UVI, but she is complete now and all I can say is WOW!! The boat is beautiful and a rocket ship with the 330 Cummins. Loaded to the hilt she cruises at 28-29 knots. Feels like I was riding in an outboard boat but in comfort. We had a nice day catching 3 wahoo and a couple of nice dolphin.

Garry,

Im in the process of building a custom 1966 Bahia Mar, Id love to see any photos or if you know any links to see the work done on the Fun Ticket would be greatly appreciated.

How'd you do with Katrina?

Garry,

Email is Bhigg10796@aol.com thanks for the help, my boat is a long way from done but I got a big chunk done for less than one year into it. Can't wait to see a finished product. Thanks Bob H.

Gary, If you don't mind, I would also like the pictures of the Bahia Mar.
I'm pretty sure that I've lost my mind but, I just purchased a Bahia Mar project myself and am still knocking around ideas.

Thanks,

Andy

When I saw Gail's boat at the UVI5 I said to myself that I would never have picked that color in a million years....and it was spectacularly beautiful! That coming from a guy who made the best part of his career as an award winning art director says a lot! His little touches of the same color on his chair, tower platforms etc was like icing on the cake. Bravo Gail! Walter

Walter, I thought the same thing when Gale's Bahia came in the harbor at Port Eads last year, but that color scheme sorta grows on you. Good eye, my Fren'.......
