Hey guys alittle weekend update. We finished wiring the boat this weekend. I wired up the gauges, gauge lights, and all the sending units to the gauges while my brother wired up a new wiring harness for the engine. We also installed all the wiring for the trim pumps, drive trim, actuators, etc.
all trim tabs and drives are in perfect working condition and powered up. Its off to the upholstery shop next !!!

How many HP does the engine have and what speed are you hoping for?

Hey Pasta, thanks !! Don't really know any of the above, maybe around 500HP and don't know what the speed will be because we don't know what the boat weighs. 70-75 is fast enough for me. When i finish it, I am going to take it to the scales because I know what the trailer weighs.

lol, don't say that !! Let me just make alittle understatement about how little amount of room there is to work in there especially with 4 hydraulic hoses and a hydraulic helm. Here is a pic.....and yes this is before I bundled everything nice and neat

I have fuel, voltmeter, water temp, oil temp, oil pressure, drive trim and the newest addition will be a boost gauge, no room for a speedo, but I am going to build in a gps/chartplotter/depth finder combo when I am finished.
