Thanks Dave. Not near as sexy as Your Daytona!
I told You the scoop would look better on my boat than painted white!

Thank You, and yes it is called a bowl.



The pictures were taken at Willow Beach, Az, about 11 miles down river from the Hoover dam. Willow is part of Lake Mohave.

After the AVI i fixed all the stuff i seemed to have left undone.
I also wanted to put on the scoop that was intended for this boat. Before i could do that i had to figure a way to mount the scoop...

The rest of the pics are just pretty much finished product pics. All in all it was still a fun project.

The gauges that were in the boat were 2 1/8" and mine are 2 5/8", so I had to enlarge the holes.
