Sick Stinger 04-21-2014 09:30 PM

Took the door out now need to figure out a plan for that. Mach'd up all the interior panels all resin up and test for. Material ordered and vinyl caps ordered. Just ordered more lights robreplacevtgevfactory cabin also. Put 2 of the 10 cockpit lighted in. Removed old cabin speakers and more dead wires from the boat.
Hope to mount VHF tomorrow run 3 antennas get all the rest of the lights amps and speakers pre wired and pull the flooring up. Flooring will be on order tomorrow. Foot rest will be flooring material instead of carpet easier to clean and blends better. Looking for a motor drop in by end of week

Panther 04-25-2014 06:22 AM

I built some really simple foot rests for mine a few years ago. It helped a lot.

Sick Stinger 04-26-2014 09:18 AM

These are pretty simple I'll get a pic of before and after of them. Just finished the rear seat lights and subs. Amp all mounted and wired in. Pulled the door out going to full powder coat a sheet of 16 stainless see how that goes. Rest of the fuel line hardware came in so I will be doing that. Ordered the indicator cables today along with the GPS antenna. Going to plumb the east of the boost gauges wire the lites to them and finish up the wiring mess to clean it all up. VHF will be mounted to day. I alrwady mounted the antenna and the am/fm antenna. Need water feed hoses in the gimbals before motors go in so waiting on that. Do shooting for next week on the motor drop in. Mounted the sea pumps lube bottles and brackets also fuel gauge senders and finished the oil hoses on the port motor. Used lokar dip sticks I put the other on in last night seems to do the trick.

Panther 04-28-2014 04:16 PM

I wish you well on the trim indicator adventure! I installed 2 new cables this weekend and one like 5 years ago using chase strings when pulling the old one's out and it's still a f&cking b!tch!

Sick Stinger 04-28-2014 08:02 PM

A bit easier with no motors in the boat. I will find out tomorrow when the cable shows up. Also going to do the water inlet hoses on gimbals I have one and just ordered the other. Once that is don't a motor goes in.

Unlimited jd 04-28-2014 08:08 PM

Most tedious job I've ever done was adding lights to the f2 boat, but using existing switches and making it look like it was there on day 1. Whoever wired those boats is an artist, and I wanted to kill him and his 7,000 zip ties lol

Sick Stinger 04-28-2014 09:44 PM

Yup I've already redone 150 I know this due to 3 packs if 50 wire ties down the tube so far and counting. But looks nice clean tight and done with pride

Sick Stinger 04-29-2014 08:02 PM

Very little done tonight, water intake hoses are done, drilled and tapped a broken trailer jack bolt, boost gauge port side hooked up. Removed the last remaing harness of extra wires. Trim cables will be in tomorrow, also I had a new stainless door cut out of 18 gauge instead of the 22 paper thin crap used befor. New door handle will be in on thrus day. Need to clean the bilge once again and drop port motor in.

Panther 04-29-2014 08:30 PM

Not sure why but the cables faught me this time around. It became a push pull job with two people. I think they were getting hung up on the battery cable in the tube. Thought I was going to break my 1/2" shrink wrap banding used as a chase.

Sick Stinger 04-29-2014 09:34 PM

Quick question how does your door lock to the cabin?

Panther 04-30-2014 03:47 PM

Mine doesn't have a lock.

Sick Stinger 04-30-2014 06:02 PM

Answered that question.

Panther 05-01-2014 01:53 PM

no locks, no keys! lol

Sick Stinger 05-01-2014 03:13 PM

That's was my thought

[ATTACH=CONFIG]522892[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]522891[/ATTACH]Couple pics. I had the bilge nice and clean all wiped down and hand washed. That went to hell in a hand bag

Sick Stinger 05-04-2014 09:05 AM

Fuel pump relay kits are in. Did indicator cables. Water inlet tube in stb side in. Did the cannon plug and checked all wires to motor fuel pump block off on inlet hose of gimble to motor overflow drive lube all set

Sick Stinger 05-04-2014 05:55 PM

Finished the fuel pump relay set ups, VHF mounted and wired, used 1 if the 3 acc switches on the dash to run the radio. Traced ignition wired and fixed thoses as it was running round and round. Antenna all neat and tucked also fixed a few other loose ends on the wiring side and ran another new row of wire ties. Had to put 1 oil hose fitting on and tighten all the hoses. Ordered the scoops so I will be cutting the hatch sometime in the near future. Repaired fuel pressure wires a bit chewed up. Water pressure gauge hooked up also. That's about it for now.

Sick Stinger 05-05-2014 08:37 PM

Oil plug done on port motor that wraps that up. Did the cap rotor and water pressure set up on stb motor checked and squared up the wiring on the stb also. Hooked up the radio bracket. Short night waiting on parts.

smokin' gun 05-05-2014 08:56 PM

Sick Stinger 05-06-2014 09:05 AM

Sick Stinger 05-09-2014 05:49 AM

One engine complete. Kicked it over yesterday to check wiring ect. Cut other hole in the hatch for air cleaners. Put a drive on wing plate steering ram. Will fire sat to mare sure it's 100% then drop in the other motor. Still need to put flooring in, interior, other sub, more lights. Finish the amp wiring and odds and end. So not really close but getting there

[ATTACH=CONFIG]523154[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]523155[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]523156[/ATTACH]Sorry couple pics from yesterday.

Panther 05-09-2014 08:10 AM

I'm curious, can you do me a huge favor?

Can you please measure the distance from the bottom and center of the transom assembly to the bottom of the boat for me? If there's a mercathode, you'd have to measure just behind it, from the bottom of the transom assembly to the bottom of the boat.

I'm curious what your X dimension is with the step compared to mine without a step.

Sick Stinger 05-09-2014 11:10 AM

Yup not a problem. I'll get them after work for you

OLD MAN 05-22-2014 01:22 PM

When will you be able to launch her Mike?

Sick Stinger 05-30-2014 07:30 AM

Both motor in and run. Waiting on interior flooring scoops and hatch.

Sick Stinger 06-03-2014 11:24 AM

Flooring and amp capacitor just came in. Still waiting on air scoops and side panels for interior

Sick Stinger 06-03-2014 08:57 PM

Drilled the new door for the handle and stop. Dropping off for powder coat tomorrow and grab handles. Drive gaurd on trailer at pivot was froze solid so I split it cleaned stud and pivot hold. Stitch welded the slots back up and the cracked welds are all repairs. Also where the pin went I the end of the trailer was tweaked in. Nothing a ratchet strap and a 2" think beam can't fix. Capacitor is all in and wired. Floor stripped ready to be pulled and used as template. Had 60 gal. Of bad fuel pumped it out and fresh 93 in. I know where empty is on my gauge now. Still have odds and ends but dwindling down.

Sick Stinger 06-04-2014 09:16 PM

Tore up the floor going to clean it up and prep for the new lonseal and foot rests. Going to box the subs for better sound and hopefully cut the reverberation that seems to happen. Should be 99% there by saterday. Still waiting in scoops from unlimited product air scoops, pro stock are the one I ordered. Not to happy with them said 2 1/2 weeks turn around been about 4 1/2 weeks as of today.
I'll keep this updated.

J-Bonz 06-04-2014 11:32 PM

Man, moving right along! Very impressive the ground your covering!

Sick Stinger 06-05-2014 08:52 AM

Thanks J doing the best I can and moving as quickly as parts and time allows while trying to do it correct. It's my father and I and he can only do as much as his body will allow of course so I do the rest. Hopefully more parts show up today.

302Sport 06-05-2014 09:03 AM

Your camera broke?

Sick Stinger 06-05-2014 11:07 AM

Yup I took a pic of you

Sick Stinger 06-05-2014 08:53 PM

Floor is all prepped and ready for adhesive and flooring. I'll will template the new floor on Sunday morning and clean the boat floor 1 more time before laying it down. Interior came back today. So that's should be going in ASAP after the floor is down. Just ordered some much room cleats and lines as there seems to be no where to put the fenders on the boat. We shall rectify that issue ASAP. Door and handles go to powder coat she least come in so all are the same color. Splash is very soon...
