proof that decals work
Mar 14^th, 2010 at 10:53pm

I found this web site by seeing it on a boat I passed on 1431 on the way home. I am on serveral local forums and glad to see one for boats too. enough about how I found this site i have been an avid boater my whole life. I am a sucker for older boats. Right now I have two I am trying to get together. I have a 1973 16' invader bass boat (almost ready) , and a 1983 23' chaparral 235 xlc (great boat needs motor and outdrive). the best part is that didn't pay anything for them. the small one I traded for and the chaparral was a gift from a friend. hope to get both on the water but the chaparral will take time. so I am excited to find this site and hope to enjoy it as much as the rest. I also will try hard to not be a pain Grin

. thanks nathan

I felt a little dirty putting big vinyl stickers on my boat, but it's for a good cause. Welcome to the site. Sounds like you're busy wrenching! What lakes do you intend on hitting when you have them up and running?

But of course, that time doesn't exist! How far off is the Chaparral from done? Congrats on finishing up with the Invader. Anyway, welcome to the board! Glad to have you, post away.

the chaparral need the interior and motor and out drive. due to that I have been working on invader. just looking for the right deal on the outdrive. I have a race engine that i could put in the boat that came out of my race car from my last hobby. here is the invader.

here is a link if you want to see all my pictures

when I got out of racing I need something to keep me busy. At least with this hobby I can include my kids and wife.

Looks like you'll be ready for catching a sun burn in no time. The Chaparral doesn't look like it's far off from sea worthy either! What kind of race engine do you have?
