Finally getting around to some pics. Found this poor excel just about yard sunk over a year ago, and rescued/restored it over the last year. Tons of new stuff, including interior, Carb, 100Amp alternator, dual batteries with pergo and new dedicated accessory circuit to dash for Stereo, U/W lights, etc.. DVD marine clarion with TV output and Iphone control, new chrome bezel gauges (needle in a haystack) Swivel seat base, LED interior button lights, tower, bimini, Shadow caster Underwater lights in custom bar, and more. Exterior was dry sanded, then wet sanded and polished. I replaced the excel decals with BF because 1, I had a hard time finding them. 2, That was the most hideous font ever used imo. And 3, it has the BIG block.... Interior done locally in Orlando. I did the carpet myself (even though I kinda wanted to do a custom Sea Deck) Once I got the old carpet up, it would have taken too much time to smooth out the glass. Pay no attention to the trailer - a friend let me borrow as I have no trailer. (see pics of what it was sitting on-litteraly rusted in two).                    I want to upload a video but not sure if a can here. |

Wow, came out great. If you post the video to Youtube, you can post it here. Copy the Youtube address (remove the "s" if it is "https"). Click the tree icon to insert image. Replace "IMG" with "Tube" and it should appear right in post. ------------- '92 Correctcraft Ski Nautique |

Nice job! How about taking a picture at night with those LEDs on? You gonna have them pulse with the bass? ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |
