Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.“

Be careful John, you're approaching the "too pretty to use it" threshold here! LOL You know I'm a firm believer in maximum enjoyment through using your 'Glassic, I'm just running out of adjectives and explicatives to commend your fine craftsmanship. Hope you and the family have fun at the show this weekend, be careful on the road.

Beautiful John! You and Doug Young need to work together to get Doug's new Manta Ray Premier pimped out. Same kind of stuff was in that boat when I got it. See photo for orginal factory dash on this 1962 Manta Ray.

thanks brian,it means alot coming from a master restorer such as yourself,the interior would have been more 2 tone if i could sew and had a big sewing machine,there isnt one stitch in it.
as far as dougs boat goes,it looks as hes way ahead of the game,(except bird poop,lol)the interior already looks good.i would love to work on it,with doug hes a great guy,and that boat is cool.
our interior in the sunray was shot.we couldnt even save the seats.
thanks frank,i sure hope they like it,we have had this boat 3 years,i worked all winter on some of the interior in my basement(i didnt have my little garage yet,so the boat wasnt here.
then early spring we started to really pound away at it.
tim is going to look over the motor,and see if its still a good motor,ed said h had it running for a little while but it ran rough,that was 2 years ago.
