Hi Chris,

Re: Now and Then
Turbo Fire came from a tin shed in Dubbo - baked in an "oven" for years and dry as a chip. Rotten too. She was called Spirit II when purchased but I later found out that the boat was originally built for Phil Reeson and was called Turbo Fire.

Re: Now and Then
I noticed that the windshield brackets didn't go back on.. are they available for sale?
If not anyone else have a good looking set of brackets for my build or can anyone recommend somewhere to purchase some?

Re: Now and Then
Thanks Bob - when you compare the before and after it shows how far we've come with better paint and finishes. Maybe in the 60's and 70's boats were made for go rather than show.
