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.
