I have a set myself but they have the side pockets and not back pocket like the ones in your picture and they are white. Other than that, the look identical. I am going to end up using them I think but I am going to stiffen up the bottom a bit I think cause the fiberglass shell seems kind of thin to me. They are nice and comfy though.

nice looking boat. great project to have for winter in a big garage.
would like to get one of those over here and see what its like on a drop of salt water and a quick blast under tower bridge ha ha .

I like the deep metallic bronze colour, it was and will always be a cool colour.

what length is the boat ? and what width ?

nice size boat.
look forward to seeing this project, hope you take loads of pics along the way

My boat may have been the last the Capt. ever does. (except his own) Kind of feel responsible for his feelings about re-cores, it was a real PITA.

Jeff's Viper was waaaay worse. My HST which I made 10X the project that it needs to be and my Champ boat are the only things I'm working on this winter. I will do lay ups if the boat is brought to me ground out, power washed and clean.

Brown against Gun Metal Gray next summer?

I've never been a fan of this color but I've said for years now if I ended up with another one that didn't have the pristine gel my Viper does, I'd take a swing at doing a complete build myself.

You are assuming I'm going to make record time in getting this thing done. Basement project needs done first. I'll dink around with this until early spring and see what happens.

What, imo that brown looks great! Maybe some accents and interior to set it off.
