Let's see a picture of your boat!
I'll start...
This is the second boat I've owned, it's a 1967 Starline Deville, I purchased it from a classic car dealer who purchased it at an Estate Sale in Southern, California. It's incredibly original and runs really well. I believe I'm technically the 3rd owner.
When I first brought it home, the hull was literally white in places due to oxidation, so just for fun I buffed it out using a variety of different products and pads which you can see in this thread,

And here's how it looks currently...

As I type this, my boat is actually outside in the parking lot as I've been getting it ready to go fishing!
My first boat I owned for 20 years. I bought the hull when I was 21, had a 402 Big Block Chevy engine built by Tim Briggs and installed by the time I was 23 and raced it for the first time that year.

I'd like to purchase another V-Drive drag boat in the future, my favorite is the Sanger Runner Bottom, Bubble Deck models.
There's a Bubble Deck in the lower right hand corner of this old ad...
