GF 14

Post by Bobs »

Hi All

Here are some pics of my finished GF 14 after I got it out of the garage. I hope to get it in the water this weekend. I will post more pics when that happens.

Very nice. I like the storage areas.

Can't wait to see her on the water.

Very nice work. I especially like the different interior colors.

I guess it is a "thing" for everyone on your block to have their boat up on blocks on the driveway. Kinda like having a car up on blocks down in the South. LOL

Looks great!

Hi All

Thanks for the nice comments. Tim, those of us here who live on the water usually store our boats in our yards for the winter.Since we leave them in all summer we dont usually buy trailers,especially with larger boats.You can see my blocks in those pics as my other boat went in that morning and I had not put them away yet.
Larry, thats a 9.9 I wanted a 15 but could find a 2 stroke around here.I still remember your suggestion about the bow cleat and will probably change it around when it comes time to repaint. Until then I'll stick a rubber ball or something on it so no one gets hurt.

Thanks again
Bob

I stared at that top picture for a few mins when you first posted it trying to figure out what was sitting on the mid seat.
I'm not sure if anyone asked you, but is that a stock color of blue on top or did you get a custom color?
