Liberator 21 Interior & Update Finally Finished !

**wasvette** · 07-29-2016, 08:27 AM

So I picked this 96 Liberator 21 up from Mercaholic in April (sans motor). It started out as a well preserved, mostly original 96 model (see thread). Gel coat needed a lot of work. Seats were probably original.

But, after several months of small details, buying an engine, wet sanding & buff, new Shaw carpet, high end stereo, pop up cleats, and custom one off interior this Liberator really POPs!

My detail and upholstery guys did an awesome job! If anyone in the Georgia area wants their contact info please let me know. I'm not affiliated with either business, just very pleased with their work.

By the way, this is my first tunnel and it is everything you all said.

Thanks Guys for all the comments. I have a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in this rig. It's gets a lot of attention here on lake Lanier because no one runs tunnels with outboards.

I own a 99 and it's a great and very stable boat, it is fast.
you should be able to run 100+ mph with the 300 Merc
You will enjoy it!!

Looks West Coast style with that interior. These projects end up taking so much time and money but the chase is part of the fun I guess. Come down to one of the Florida runs with it, there are several guys from GA. that drive down. Your boat looks great-

Thanks JP - We are, however we learned quickly that middle of the day Saturdays and Sundays are way too rough on lake lanier here in GA. Too many huge cabin cruisers. The Lib loves chop but not large roller waves. Early mornings and week days are a blast for sure!
