Title: I bought a new hull!
Post by: chaosmotox on February 23, 2012, 08:00:42 PM: Well after a lot of think and talking with some friends about my boat and how much everything was going to cost to get everything done I decided to buy a new boat. Its a 18ft 1979 Challenger. The paint, seat and floor was all done last year. Along with a rebuild on the jet. Now its time to pull the 460 out of my boat and put it in the Challenger.

Post by: chaosmotox on March 01, 2012, 12:14:19 AM: Looking at ordering some angled gauge bezels and livorsi gauges for the new hull. Anyone have any ideas for colors for the bezels and the rim of the gauges?
