Always cools to see what iboaters look like in real life

I've seen a few that are exceptions to that sentiment.

Congrats on the splash!

Yes these boats will beat you in the chop. They can handle more than you can though so open her up!

Re: 1968 Holiday Restoration w/pics

I just got this a week ago. (Aug 24, 2009) So far i was able to get the engine running though it doesn't idle. Will have to rebuild the carb.

Will be restoring the whole thing,,or attempt to.

This is my first boat so will see how i do.

I like posting pics & videos so im pretty sure it will be documented.

What a fine job you have done Azlo.
Nice to see the before and after photos so I posed this from the beginning.
Yea I been following along all this time as others too.
My buddy has the same boat but his is a 1967 with a 90 tower of power on it.
When the conditions a right (chop and waves) we pin it, standup and go for a ride.
Way fun in a hull like that at 30+ mph.

Boat looks great! 3 years in the making? Yikes, you must have the patience of a saint. I didn't even like the 2 weeks it took to somewhat rehab my SS.

Where's the video......would love to see her makin' waves.

Thanks for the vid, Azlo. Inspiration for all of us, Really, really, really nice Holiday. I liked when you were talking on the ramp "I took out everything but the rivets". Aw, Man. I thought you did a full resto.

LOL, common give some credit!!

BTW, when I said It was the second time out I meant the second time on the road. The first time I went tofill her up with gas and then back into the garage. But this is the first splash.

Re: 1968 Holiday Restoration w/pics

Azlo, very happy to see the rig on the water...excellent work!

That boat has some serious unique style and there will never be another like it(until you get MBS).

I agree with EZ, these boats can take lots of waves so don't be shy about testing it.

If your prop leaves the water on a rare occasion you are doing it right.

Seriously though, way to go...this will be a great example of what a complete resto looks like. Enjoy!

Thanks for the compliment, with the help of Iboats man u will get it done. The only good tip I cvan give to any body is to think out the box with it. Unless u just want to get to the lake at any cost.

Re: 1968 Holiday Restoration w/pics

I like that toe kick/relief on the bottom front side Azlo. I think that will be a nice feature, well worth the time to put in
