From everything I'm seeing in those pictures, Doug, it looks like you've got room to put up a hammock and a Mini-Margaritaville in the corner ... is that Jimmy Buffet I hear?

Thought y'all might like this: 27' Wellcraft Nova II converted to bow rider. 'Lil Miss Dangerous' She's really kinda cool actually. Still has a lil cuddy cabin of sorts. Rumored to do 70 or so with a pair of small blocks. Just finished the fore'n aft cockpit covers for it. Note the access "hatches" in the cover(s). Never done that before, it was a lil tricky but ended up coming out great. WooHoo!

Said goodbye to an old friend today as well. Yes I sold the topper off'n the Ranger. Got a buck'n a half for it. Good thing cuz that's exactly what my new tool box cost. Double WooHoo!!

I like the Tiki bar idea. Looks handy to the door to your shop.

Any pictures of how they did the conversion on the Wellcraft?

And...isn't that an S-10?  Not a Ranger?

I'll get some interior pics of the Nova soon, still gotta build a bimini for it.

No silly, that ain't a S10, it's a Sonoma. Duh. Heh heh heh. The new owner of the topper ...?

Thats the way to do it. They probably won't peel it off.

Hauled the Baja down today for gits'n shiggles. And also to get an estimate from my buddy Mike @ Pro Marine to re-clear the deck.

Had two people stop'n ask if'n it were fer sale. I told em not at the moment. But soon, perhaps ...
