I paid $3800 for the boat, and have probably put another $2000 or so into it between renovation, hull repair, and correcting damage from lapsed yearly maintenance.

Its a lot of money to see *******, but at least its still relaxing when there aren't ******* around. And I DO see *******, not just from fat guys in other boats telling me I have a sweet boat.

I still haven't picked up my camera from my friend, so its still gonna be a bit before I get a bunch of pics up, but I still have the original ones from when I bought it on photobucket, so I'll try to get those up later tonight.

i'd love to do the interior decorating on your boat.
i am the queen of "trash to treasure"!
(not saying your boat is trash, but rather that i am good at low budget transformations.)

looks like fun. you have some nice pics there, especially the sunset one.

Ahh, just wait for the AFTER pics Sweetee. It's coming along nicely...

As for the pics in the link, that credit goes entirely to Joel. He's our designated photographer, and also one of the official AudiWord photographers.

A few years back, he was tooling around Stowe VT in an R8 for a photoshoot. Tough job....

In those "before" pics, it looked like it smelled like feet&***... AND fish, and rot!
