Rock the boat baby...

The boat has been getting a little work done on it. Here is the boat right after we got it back from Auto Trim Design. The boat used to have a maroon strip running along the side and they covered it up with a huge vinyl sticker. Now the strip is cherry red (like the truck and the Tahoe.) Merril decided it also needed the windows tinted. (That might be a little over the top but whatever.) Please don't look at the trailer!! It looks soooo awful and next weekend's project is new cherry-red paint for the trailer and the trailer boards being replaced.

















So here's Merril working on the stereo wires. I'm sure he knows what he's doing in there. He has 8 speakers and 2 sub-woofers. Um yeah, that might be a little excessive seeing as it's only a 20-foot boat. That's a speaker per 2 feet of boat. But again, whatever. He said I don't even have to listen to the stereo when I'm in it. I'm sure it will sound terrific!

















Here's me putting the upholstery back in. Seriously, there's no other way to reach those nuts. My other arm is in the hole reaching back up towards the top of that grey side panel. They're a beast! The boat manufacturer must employ a group of skinny, 10-year old boys to reach spaces like that because my arm barely fit and there was no way Merril was able to get his arm up there. Merril's was making me laugh so my face is all red. :)


















And VOILA!!! Merril stayed up late on Saturday and finished the stereo and put most of the upholstery back in. A guy named Therol Judd (I think) did the upholstery and did a really nice job!


















Here's just another picture of the seats. There's some wires still hanging out but we're close to being finished with the interior!















Here's Juliet just doing what she does best, looking sweet. She loves to stand in the bow and look around.

That looks so HOT. I love the concept of "branding" the family vehicles with the same color throughout. You will all be getting cherry red swim suits (and floaties) right...!?

The boat looks great. I'm sure Merril and Jon could talk "wires" and "speakers" for a long time. Of course, the best picture of the boat is the one with Juliet in it.

That looks great! I love the red trim on the upholstrey (sp?).

Yes, the flip flops are from target. We also have them in blue thanks to Grandma. :)
