Look what I found on good old eBay last year, Just had them restored to add to the boat. I couldn't decide which way to go, either vintage or new laser-cut logos, but the vintage ones blow them away. Gotta figure out something to do with the laser cut ones now.

i think those chromed logos will compliment the other custom touches you've added nicely. They should really stand out against the black hull. Please keep us posted as things progress.

Your boat looks so nice. It deserves a glass case. A true beauty!

Does pulling a painted hull up on a sand beach scratch the hull bottom? I do not even do that with a gelcoat bottom.

Its GEL, the only paint on the boat is the motor. I didn't beach it, just walked it up for the photo. Eric would have been mad at me if I would have nosed it up on the beach....I know better! The sand here is sugar soft, as long as you are below the shell line.

Gonna have to start a new thread, "got a new motor, stolen by friend, getting anew motor for Max" will be the title. I am on the hunt of a vintage I-6, Merc BP1000, 1250 BP, 1250 Super BP, or a 1500 XS, they just need to have a shift-able speedmaster lower unit (F-N-R). If anyone has or knows of one, I WILL buy it.

James - If you still have my regular email address from the Laser II prop purchase, drop me a line. I may be able to help you out, or at least point you in the right direction. Private Messaging here seems to have been eliminated.

Engine was stolen - Really?
