So how much are you going to sell it for once you're finished?

Not going to be sold, at least for awhile. Its actually my father in laws boat. He wants to enjoy his (our) work for awhile. He has owned the boat since '89 and it really is part of the family.

Couldn't find my camera this morning, but I found it when I got home tonight. I will try and post some more pics tommorow night.

Here are some more photos. We had two snags this weekend. We were going to route the trim hoses through the top plate of the bracket and through the transom inside the bracket, but we could not find fittings for the houses. The second issue we had was that the existing control cables are about two feet to short, so we need to order new ones.

We were able to route the steering hoses down through the bracket. We fabricated some old stainless pieces we had, and made decent looking through hulls for the trim hoses. This took up alot of time. We have mounted all the new trim pumps and oil resevoirs, as well as run the oil, fuel, and battery lines.



Really disorganized right now, but that will change

Here is an update. Painting's done, turned out pretty good. But now you can see a contrast between the old paint on the hull and the paint on the inside, so we will probably have to do the hull this winter. Engines are mounted and rigged, we still have to work out some kinks with the new vessel view, but that shouldn't take to long. We also have to remount all the hardware, cleats, hatch covers etc. We are going to try and put it in the water this weekend.
