Few more pics of Mistress tear down
 

Have tackled a few car resto's but this boat is a whole different adventure!Any suggestions on windshield,took the old one off,it just looked like crap!I have finished my out drives ,gimbles and trannys.Fixing to start motors,Gen iv chevys 78 models,any suggestions on horsepower to speed ratio's?

Did you rewire her and if so where did you get your harness?I also have alot of teak that needs replacing.Any help would be appreciated!

I've got a buddy interested in that compass if you want to sell it?

:)

Think I will keep the compass so I don't have to fix the hole,there is a old Mistress project boat for sale about 2 hrs from me,thought about riding over to see about parts,I will see if it has a compass.

Sweet...thanks!
