As some of you know, Pat and I are doing a 3 year update on Stealin' Thunder.

The following is being done right now:

bilge has been cleaned, sanded and painted twice with Awlgrip. Installing new bilge pumps, new blowers and all new hoses. Headers cleaned and tested. Engines are being cleaned, tested, serviced. New starters, impellors. Adding LED in Bilge and Transom
CMI sent out, checked, resealed, polished, new hoses, New diamond board in bilge, strainers, led lights in bilge, and transome, paint refirb, new spark plugs, new shift cables

I know I missing some stuff. The boat will be a close to brand new when done next week.

Here are some pictures

Exactly...but that boat has 5 seasons on it. I know because I sea trialed it the year before taking delivery on mine.

Clark, did you send your diverters back to Corsa for the silent recall? They did all four of mine for free; although, was told that offer was ending.

I had one stop working couple summers ago. Turned out to be the anti reversion plate weld broke loose and the plate hung up on the actuator. Corsa said it was a result of tack welding the plate in lieu of a continuous weld they use now. They said to send them back and they would reweld them at no charge. I only sent the one with the understanding I would send the other three when I pulled the headers last winter. When I sent the three back they informed me they were no longer making the repairs free of charge, but they did continue to honor their word to do all four of mine at no charge. I was happy with that! Downright amazed actually.

You need to verify what type of welds you have. If I remember right, they only did the tack welds for a short period of time.
