I Want To Give You A Quick Download On The Project. The Boat Came From New Yorf I Bought It From Only Pics But Didnt Think It Was A Bad Deal. It Was Stripped Down So I Didnt Have To Pay For A Bunch Of Stuff I Was Gonna Throw Away. I Got It In Jan 08 And Guardado Started The Bottom Repair In Feb. It Was A Race Boat Set Up So They Also Had To Cut Out The Fuel Tanks And All The Extra Stringers On The Floor.after The Repair They Also Painted The Bottom. After I Got It Back To My Shop We Did The Transom Modification By Making The Two Splash Wells Instead Of The One Large One. We Made A Mold Of Each Side, Made Two Parts Out Of The Mold, Cut The Existing Well Out, Bonded The Pieces In And Then Joined Them In The Middle. A Lot Of Work But Real Cool.next We Made The Two Hatches In The Deck And Started The Dash Modification. The Dash Was To Small And Square Looking So I Made It Taller And Put The Crown In It. Next Major Task Was Fuel Tanks Floor And Bilge Area. Since The Boat Was A Race Boat Set Up It Didnt Have A Liner In It So We Had To Fabricate The Floor. The Bilge Was Sanded, And Smoothed Out And Painted In Awl Grip. The Floor Was Also Done In Awl Grip Non Skid. After That It Was Back To Eddies For Paint. Chris From Grafix Efx Designed The Paint Sceme And Paint Began. Got The Boat Back To The Shop Now And Have Begun All The Detail Work And The Rigging. Powering With Twin 15" 300x Mercs. Will Post Pics As It Comes Together. Thanks For All The Compliments, Mike Mears.
