new to the site be nice to me
 

Wanted to say hello to everyone on the site and introduce myself.I have taken the leap from 21' daytonas to the bigger 33' daytona boght the bought in florida as a repo with no motors ,drives,steering and other misc. items .I will be putting this back together and keeping it for the lake of the ozarks and as my retirement boat if the goverment ever gets their sh!t right.So I will be be searching for engine and drive combos for sale to repower this thing. Thanks for inviting me in to this site.

welcome aboard ! have you really seen so much bashing to bescared of being new here????:coolcowboy:

don't worry ! it should not be that bad!

welcome again!

Welcome. Congrats on the purchase. Is this the blue mid cabin 33 from National? If so, I was thinking of doing the same thing but decided against it as I want a 38 Cig. We boat at LOTO and have a place at the 5 MM. I'd love to see the boat when you get it up and running. Good luck. This is a great site to learn and find parts to complete your boat.

Welcome

Not alot on here but seen it on another sight gets pretty bad hope not here though so far....lol. yes it is the one from there .Will probably take a couple of years but it will get back on the lake ,at least that's what the wife says. thanks for the welcomes

Eddie Young and Ron Potter would be two engine builders I would call. I'm sure others will chime in with their favorites. The 33 is a heavy boat so you'll need more than a 525's power to make it run good.

For drives the Arneson #6 Bravo replacement will work well for you. For steering Latham is right up there. I would recommend Livorsi if the boat has no gauges. Mike's prop-slip gauge is a must-have.

You don't say how much experience you have with big cats but you might also consider taking a driver's course. It will knock 10% off your BIG insurance bill too.

welcome :)

Plenty of info on this site. Keep us updated on your build.
