If you boat at Parker, make sure you and Lew Larson don't park side by side on the sandbar. You'll have identical V drives!!!
Nice work. Boat looks great!

Sal over at Orange County Fibre glass & Gelcoat. I'm very happy with them, they did exactly what they said they would and in the time they said and gave me a great price.
Now hopefully my motor builder will get the motor done when I need it!
thanks for the complements!

Parker is my stomping grounds, so I'm sure I will run into him.
thanks again!

That looks nice. I had a 74 that looked like your before picture.

Looks like a old friends boat (Bob Johnson).

I know it's completely uncouth to ask, but can you give me a ball park figure as to how much it cost?? I'd like to get my Eliminator redone next winter, just curious on how much I'll need to save.
Boat looks awesome, nice to see you kept the old school scheme (minus the wood grain).

I love thoes boat's that will defintly be my next boat look's great

[howardcruzr]

Thanks for the compliments guys.
I'm trying to keep the boat looking like what it is, a 1977 just no orange and wood grain. I'm sticking with the original SW gauges and going to do the interior with rounder looking seats, not square like new boats.
Next step is new cav plates, my old plates were fixed. I've never set up cav plates before so I will probably be asking you all a lot of questions soon. :rollside:

how are the howard river crusiers when compared to others such as spectre or sangers think i know where a bare hull in good shape is sitting gelcoat has same lines and the back is identical to yours but cant see the front of it. thanks for any info.

[VD CRUISER]

The Howards are identical to the Spectras. Don't know how to compare it to a Sanger, for one thing the deck is quite different looking. I like the Howard as I have had 2 of them, still have a 83 with a blown 547ci Chevy. They can be made to run over a 100 mph pretty safely.
