Great Job!, I love the red and white. Did you make new bow rails? Are those all standard fittings? If so, can I get a couple pics of them?

Thanks.

Those are the factory rails. I will shoot a few photos next time I'm out in the garage.

Here is a pick of the new pt&t unit and the new to me 115 Johnson. Still haven't made it out on the water yet this season as I've been short a manager at the store. But none the less, she's ready to go as soon as I find some free time.

The only "major" item left is to repaint the hood on the ob. As you can see it looks like a pile of France in its present condition...
