[Gin Time]

Thanks Larry. She's a bit mis-matched color wise and needs some more love but she's getting there. Before summers end I am going to give it a try to recover the trim in gray vinyl to match the new seats. Then possibly over the winter have the seats recovered to bring everything together. But now it's time to enjoy her!!!

Hey Gin Time!

I recognize that boat.

Yeah, I think I' am now jealous of that carpet job you did. Well done, good to see some progress. After you emailed me saying that your drive blew up, I wasn't sure if you were going to keep the Diablo or just give up right there.

Glad to see you found a replacement drive!

You sure did gain a lot of extra room where the bench seats used to sit.

Thanks Ryan. I wasn't sure if I would be able to continue putting money into her once the drive blew. Fortunately the bank robbery went well (great now I will have the feds on me ass, lol) and I found a great deal on a drive so was able to press on. I will post more pics tomorrow. Spending a couple days on the water putting her to the test. Fingers crossed. Lol

Playing around with the seats and trim....







.... in the works as I am typing... the rear sun deck cover (NASTY!!!)

[Gin Time]

The attempt at the sund deck cover was an epic fail. lol - it's actually better than what was there but pretty ghetto. We will have a bunch of the upholstery recovered over the winter.

The good news is she is now running great! Had her at WOT at 4800 around 35MPH in 2-3 foot seas and 16 knot winds (not the most ideal conditions). The most impressive thing is she never went over the 120 degrees!! The new riser is proving it's weight in gold!! More pic coming soon...
