Fellow V fans, here is a picture of my new stern hatches. They are teak with varnish. They are actually the same color but one is in the sun. I try to make at least upgrade a season. Boat should be in for the weekend. Hope the stripes are still biting!

Going to be hard to keep up with all the fancy V's ...... I may have to bump it up and install a set of curb feelers on mine.

Anyone remember curb feelers ?

I remember my uncle coming home in his brand new car and he had curb feelers on it and I'm like WTF are those? So he parked close to the curb to so off how they worked.
 
Just tough to keep up with all these upgraded V's.......so how about these:

1. cover the steering wheel and dash with carpet
2. install rotating disco ball light in the cuddy
3. replace all stainless - rod holders etc with gold plating
4. install 10 speaker stereo system including 15" base sub woofers.
5. replace stock horn with " antique car horn sound"
6. giant white wall trailer tires
7. curb feelers as noted
8. paint prop gold
9. paint pic of hottie with extreme body on hull sides
10. hang velvet " dice " from bimini top

Anyone think I've gone a bit " overboard "........get it ? Overboard, boy I'm funny.
 
Good stuff. And instead of those adjustable shocks they put on hot rods, you cold set up your trim tabs so they can rock the boat while in its slip.

I actually like the idea of a gold prop.

My garden tractor has one on it right now. (You can buy them from John Deere dealers). Around here we called them Suicide knobs. The State of NJ outlawed them for cars years ago, but usually they will look the other way if the car has "classic" plates on it and is for shows.
 
No pole.

Actually, these boats are such style classics, it would be " sinful " to put all that crap on em' .........

I like the teak fittings.
 
I don't know,.... I kinda like the idea of a gold plated prop.... especially on a Mercury Black Max engine. That gold prop would pop against the black paint of the engine.
 
Yeah - "AIR TABS" man!!! Anyone remember ground straps dragging under the car? I guess the zinc on the lower unit is kind of like that on the V and a ground strap might foul the prop:head:
