Chalupa is back in service

[Gilbert]

are you going to fix it back up? I remember when you first posted that thing with the box on the front.

yep, in the works!
i reduced the size of that HUGE box a couple of years ago, decking needs replaced now, but that will be a winter project.

cool. for the console, just find one you like on another boat and then build it to match. I wouldn't worry about changing it out though till you redo the deck. Fiberglass it all together.

That is cool! I gotta see that in person one day!

Falcon-that is what I was trying to recall-a buddy of mine had one similar to that--we hit 40 mph winds when gunning it and thought it was gonna flip on us-watch for that-it does grab the wind.

Going over the 2004 bridge yesterday afternoon and could have sworn I saw The Chalupa just north of the bridge.

You could build up the deck under the console like whats popular on skinny water boats now days and use the space under for Rod & gear storage sweet ride man.

Exactly my plan, I'm going to build the platform to my liking, then have it glassed down when I replace the deck.
