Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.“ ---Mark Twain |

Thank you everyone. Here are some photos of her outside on the restored Hilltop trailer. Also you can see how the stern light is out of its socket.

Is that a Buehler Flag I see? Was that an original logo on the flag or something you guys put on? Either way its cool.
I have a tee nee trailer which is what they used later on or each individual seller decided on which model and brand I am not sure. That trailer; did it have any decals? The guy I used could make you some if you have a picture of the decal as they may have used back then? The back of the boat is outstanding but I am a little partial.. I guess it will sit until Mt Dora? Well the surprise is over and what a cool Buehler......are u going to name it? |

Hello John,
Yes, that flag was an original I got awhile back. You can see the flag on some of the brochures in the library. Regarding the trailer I think it depended on the dealer. Here is a link to the history on mine. www.fiberglassics.com/glassic-forums/home/trailer-talk/restoration-of-1963-hilltop-trailer-model-1218 It did have decals, and thank you for sending me the info for your decal guy. Once I have the fenders measured I'll be contacting him. It won't exactly sit. We are taking it by the trailer in the background to an upholsterer to get a custom cover made. Then it will sit until Mt Dora. I don't think I'm going to name it. The plate on the platform is good enough for me. And putting a name on it will just make the stern look a little to busy IMO. |

That's what we've been waiting for Rick, a picture finally on the water. She's gorgeous, a classic boat worthy of being on the cover of any magazaine. Well deserved and a proud owner as well.
