[65Bowrider]

Don, you have kept Sheila B looking VERY nice ... and great that you're enjoying her. IMO, the Bowriders are the most versatile boats and have not gotten their credit due.
I have 2 bowriders and it's amazing how little "boat repair" has been needed, mostly just cosmetic.
To share pictures, here's a 1965 called "DD" for Dad's Design.
Ugly ... yes, but solid.

This one is a 1966 "CJ", restored in 2007, mostly cosmetic.

They also make great fishing boats ...

And my getting a few backing up lessons from the "Pro". He's not worried ...

Don, Keep enjoying your Bowrider, they are great boats!
I'm in Tallahassee right now & headed tomorrow morning up to the NC mountains to see my wonderful folks.
Cheers,
Carla
