@atipc Thanks, We really enjoy jetboating. Its nice to be able to take a few friends, without anyone getting burnt by the over transom style headers. It still performs well. for me 2 things are key! Comfort and reliability!
@cturboaddict I made the seats and bases (copied the originals) but the guy I had cover the seats didnt make the foam like original, I wanted them a little overstuffed like stock. I did the engine covers, side panels and seat bases myself. I dont have a commercial sewing machine. So doing the seat upholstry I think is better left to the pros.
Nice interior. Great Job! Tahiti's rule, I own a 78 18' Tiger that I just put new interior in too. Getting readty to put a BBF 460 bored out, ported,cammed up with a tunnel ram 2 4bbl 600 holleys, barking out of basset headers in her. Keep the old muscle boats alive! I'll post some video when I get her running.
Wow your ride looks really nice and practical. I like this clean look much better than muscle boats with headers. Thanks for sharing

That was a good idea to make two cover, one to show the chrome, and one to cover the whole engine up.
