Tim, you just about killed me with that adder. Great thinking.

I think most agree that the craftsmanship is there. While I'm really big on originality, I do like a plethora of color, and I do like some additional period-correct colors other than the 3-4 colors originally available on a two-tone Cla$$ic hull. The pastels from the late 50's-60's really look good on these hulls to me. If this boat had original style white seats maybe with some green piping, I feel most would have given it the OK. Except for maybe Pete, as he's tough, but I certainly respect him for it.

Unrelated but related, we finally had the 390 Interceptor engine pulled from our Cla$$ic this past week. And after a healthy but conservative rebuild, it will be repainted the original Interceptor light green.

Wow! Nice job for sure. I like it....But good luck getting $25,000.00 for it. Hope they do. I'd like to do something like that and still make a few $$.
By the way,I love the cla$$ics too.

Imagine how nice it would be if that level of detail and quality had been put into bringing it back to original.

Yeah, like all red deck and hull with white interior.

I've got a friend that has a small marina on a lake that sells gas, rents moorings and boats. He was dabling in selling some kind of v hull I/Os and had one coming in that he had ordered. He ordered it with nice colors, but it came in light purple with pink accents. It took him 3 years to sell that pig.
