lol. My brother and uncle bought a 23ft Sea Ox last summer to turn into a hunting boat to use in the Chesapeak Bay. They stripped it down, put a blind on it and painted it a medium charcoal grey. Its new name is U.S.S. Aquaksalypse Now; which beat out "Duck and Cover" (with a pic of a nuke bomb inbetween the words) and the "Feather Duster" (which my Grandma said was too feminin) and the "Bill Collector" (duck bill). But next year, it will be recieving its final paint job which will include a Naval digital paint scheme applied over the entire exterior and interior.
On the Bow, they are going to try to put a Sharks mouth on it only if it looks good in tape first. My brother is also thinking about putting "torpedo Tubes" on the front as well. He is in the Navy.
Needless to say, it will be a sweet PT-Looking hunting boat. Its got a 250HP Motor to boot which will make it a nice rec boat as well.

This was like back in June when she was still in "dry dock" being worked on so some things might have changed since then. It previously was just a fishing boat
The Bow. Im not sure if the eyebrows are staying or not... It might have just been my little cousins fooling around and just put them up there for fun

Custom built consol. I think there might be a few gauges that werent put in, im not sure if they will be or if they havent already been. Throttle and wheel from old consol

Forward Deck. All the floors are Rhinolined for durability and extra "grip"

Aft Deck

And the Blind. Inside the inner lip is Red Rope Lighting. At night in the dark, it looks really cool and provides enough light to see inside.

A few years ago you could have picked a real PT boat with real torpedo tubes from Russia for 2000 bucks. :)
If you could stand the smell that is. Those things would require a total sandblasting inside and out + replacing the superstructure.

That would be a labor of love. Would make a great party/water ski/zombie apocalypse boat.

Im about 95% sure there is a real PT boat in the hangar next to ours. I havent seen it though. Im not a boater, but if i were, I would deffinately do it in style with a PT boat.
