that looks awesome and will probably outlast most boats built today. very nice work! now when do you want to do mine

my turn around time is 4 years!!! :faint2:

 

[Goldie627]

Dang you've done a lot of work since your last post the interior looks totally different. I like it. Where did you get your upholstery done? I believe your local to where I live.

I did "everything" myself except for the sewing. I found a really good upholster and nice guy, Ben from DL Upholstery - Sacramento CA

 

[Goldie627]

WOW!! the boat looks fantastic!!!!

thanks man youve been one of my big inspirations

 

[Goldie627]

Love the interior Goldie - have u splashed her yet ?

not yet but this summer!!

 

[Goldie627]

Wow, one of the most pro-looking ski boat to fishing boat conversions I've seen!

thanks ez, its been three years in the making and its exactly how i dreamed it would be, im so happy!!!

i wanted a comfort mode for when youre out with your wife, or your girlfriend, or your boo..... or your side boo! LMAO

then i wanted a fish mode when your out with the fellas

im super close to dropping the motor in, ive been thinking about getting a go pro and recording the process of motor installation from start to finish

 

[Goldie627]

Wow Goldie looks nice. BTW, thank for all your video, I was hoping to see more post from you again.

thanks chuck im thinking about recording again

 

[Goldie627]

Amazing!! Love the Grey interior color scheme! Has a nice updated look to it! Carbon fiber switch panel on the dash to boot Happy surprise seeing your update, boat's looking great!

thanks woe i finnaly see light at the end of the tunnel!

 

[Goldie627]

Very good job. I hope mine turns out that nice. I also love the custom interior. I liked the sped up parts in the videos with the mickey mouse sounding voice.

thanks chevy im glad you like the videos i hope you found something in them usefull

 

[Goldie627]

Nice work, Goldie! That is beautiful!

thanks jas, here in cali the rain has been on and off but ive been working on the boat every chance i get as work and weather allows

 

[Goldie627]

I like your storage setup up in the bow Goldie. I went similar, but you took it to the next level with gas openers and fancy cam locks. Kewl stuff. Need to get the wirin done so you can drink champagne and drift around the delta catchin stripers.

hey rick! nice to hear form ya, yea im so ready to splash this summer for sure!

i like the cam lock and gas openers but i went cheap and ma be replacing them in the long run with something a bit more robust, they are working for the time being tho

 

[Goldie627]

Awesome thread. So glad to see so many chipping in with advice and being helpful. Loved watching the videos, especially on the older searay. Thank you for taking the time post all that you have.

hey mountain, stay tuned more videos may be coming...

thanks chevy im glad you like the videos i hope you found something in them usefull

It is just helpful to see someone doing what I am doing. Moral support. I just can't believe how nice that interior turned out with the custom touches you added. It looks like a whole different boat.
