Nice boat!

Oh, and that tower is pretty slick too. (cough cough/wink wink)

Welcome. Always good to see another Rider in more or less stock configuration. Big Block...jealous. Tower...not so much.
New interior looks great and you even have the original pouch at the cooler. Original config on the dash is nice.
The stripe pattern and wave look to have a Southwestern influence. Very unique or very appropriate in AZ I guess.
Good to see another restored beauty on here.

Thanks Guys . Always loved the style of the boat, which is why I chose to restore it . Wasn't always a fan of the towers, but now that its on I love it, since it keeps my much needed in AZ, bimini out of the way. I decided to add the tower once the top was off the boat for complete stringer replacement. Easier to add support for the tower with the top off, and figured "if" I ever sold it, the tower would be desired. BTW welchel86 - How do you like your tower ? I have not pulled anyone mine it yet .
