Here's the pics... a couple of the rehab result (got rid of the original 74 bright tangerine, old gauges and switches and the black/tangerine striped Astroturf..the water pics are at Gonzaga Bay...Baja Sea of Cortez and a maiden voyage (15miles) out to Isla San Luis...made 39 MPH (GPS) ...probably could have had a little more, had I remembered to stow the newly installed bimini????DOH!
