Looks real good Murph. I have a set of those side/hand rails in the rafters at the cottage..those early boats had lots of extra touches.

Mold has been sitting around for the last 25 years or so.
Made it from my 12 Charger seats before selling it.
Made some seats for a small Murph in 1988.

Nice job Murph. The molded in windshield turned out real nice. You must be pretty stoked! Bucket seats all around to boot!

Nice Job Chris. I like all the added features you added and the seats look good. Didn't know the earlier DL's had bow tanks. Does that hull have the stepped pad?

I think it may be the first one with a notched transom.
Some of the tooling gel is still stuck to the boat.
No added hooks and has the original SK type transom.
I added some wedges as the trans are is about 7-8 degrees, later changed to 12 or so.
It had the tank in the bow and rear over it's life, I have it in the back.
