Thanks for posting all the great pics...love the pics of the stacks of stereo equipment!! :drink:

Was your boat the one from out of the country with SSM5's??

Very nicely done!!!!!

I have a few sets of headers if you are still looking...

OMG!!! What a sh!t load of work you put into that thing...but looks AMAZING. Great job and I'm sure you appreciate it even more now.

Thanks for sharing all the pics!

Some big bucks spent on that puppy!

Very nice work!

Wow, Very impressive. Look forward to seeing it in person some time.

Amazing !!!

Tank: this boat came from florida I think it might have been on here years ago... The stereo frikin ROCKS! kind of nice to jam out wile 2 blown motors are roaring behind ya!!

P offshore: we are still looking for headers call me at your convenance. Mike, 660-329-2055

Thanks everyone for the comments! There was allot of coin spent here no doubt, we had the attitude that money wasnt an option (even though it most definitely was) and wanted to be innovative/different. Like the windshield, it is powered and slides up and down, The race packs for engine displays, all trim pumps and engine batteries are under rear seat and behind sub boxes, the floor was replaced and we sprayed a custom metallic colored bedliner on it with a sprayed on cig oval, smoothed all cleat/vent holes in sides, powered stern light. I cant even begin to tell you how much fun this project was! Tones of work but doing it all your self makes a HUGE difference! We have a few more things to do this winter, looking forward to next summer!!! if you see us on the dock at LOTO come say HI would love to have a beer and talk boats!!:drink:

I spent quite a while checking out all the mods. They're literally countless! Nice job on cleaning up the transom and hiding all the ugly stuff.

Wish we got a chance to talk.

Kurt:drink:

Speaking of those race packs, Do you remember what a setup for twins cost you? I looked at there website but way to many prices!!

I love the digital setup!!

502SS: the race packs were about 3,200 with out the loggers, im going to end up adding the loggers most likely. The best thing about the dashes is the bright LED warning lights!! The first time the boat was put in the water one of the oil lines was not tight :eek: running down the lake and un knowingly loosing oil the pressure got under 27psi and the screen went crazy and the LED warning light blinded me in broad daylight:lolhit: I shut the motor off and saved any damage! that instant they payed for them selves!!! The only reason we got them was the "cool" factor. Guess they actually serve a purpose:grinser010: Mike

Kurt, I see your looking for anothe cig... maybe we should talk:ernaehrung004:

The best part of the entire build, First time the boat hit the water we were about the 6 or 7mm and saw your boat go by! It was the coolest thing! I wanted so badly to follow you and get some pics of them side by side but we were in a big hurry to get back to the house. Ive seen your boat a few times running around and once at the docks, trust me yours is in way better shape than mine was! Thanks! Mike

Mike, I would say you are a candidate for Cigs ( cigarette owner of the month). Great work, the boat is awesome.

Thanks for the kind words Mike....! Side by side pictures would have been awesome! Hope to meet up with you for a beer next summer!

Impressive work ! I remember the boat a few years ago from the Destin area.

Very Nice Ride!!!

Very nice!! Look forward to seeing it in person.

That's actually not bad considering I have 2500 in my dash and other than my datatach prop slip gauge the rest is all analog! When I am ready for my next dash upgrade I think you just helped me make up my mind! :drink:

Also love the fact that you can configure high/low points and alarms without any additional wires or sensors! Very nice!!

When your ready for the upgrade let me know, we are a race pack dealer and can do all the molding/glass work needed! Thanks! Mike

Wow, incredible job. :drink:

How many hours do you have in it....or have you not totaled it up for fear of actually knowing!

I remember when that boat was for sale. Man that was a steal, Glad you got it and what an incredible job on the restoration. I had the hots for that boat and was mad because I couldn;t afford it.

I am glad someone who really apreciates it ownes it now.

Great job.

What are the monitoring units in the dash called? What brand name?

Thats one hell of a job you did.Thats something to be proud of!! now kick back and enjoy it:drink::drink:

Boat looks amazing!

THAT's how you redo a boat right there. NICE job!

Labor of love but its a one off Cig now. Well done.

Race Packs
 

Is the $3200 for both of them or per engine? Are they well suited to the vibration and moisture of the enviroment -- not famaliar with them.
I think they are a great idea and interested in using them on an upcoming build..

BTW --- Awesome job on the restore! The boat looks fantastic.


Dave

I dont even wanna think how many hours were spent:lolhit: The project was a blast! Im going to get a 39 gun some day and go nuts on it... Just gotta wait for the pocket book to expand, TREMINDOUSLY!:coolcowboy: Thanks! Mike

To tell you the truth I was VERY disappointed when I arrived after my 23HR trip to pick the boat up. The pics were taken when he had done the work to it, problem was that was about 3 years before I bought it. Boat was not at all what I expected, got the boat a little less than asking price plus some extra parts and 4 55 gal. drums of race fuel:evilb: All in all, considering the hardware under the hatch and hanging off the back I figured it was worth it... Now that its done and the dust has settled... literally, it is everything I expected and more! Couldnt be happier with the build. Thanks for the compliments! Mike

Thats for both, They are water resistant not water proof, 2nd time in the water we got trapped at the boat ramp in a down poor:eek: they got soaked and didnt miss a beat. As far as the abuse of rough water, LOTO is famous for rough water, and were running between the 22mm & 7mm all the time where it is the roughest. They have held up very well so far, there build for baja trucks and all sorts of desert vehicles so there pretty tough. Was a bit concerned about the size and being hard to see, after they were in-place that was not an issue at all! Deff. will ditch all gages and build a dash for race packs if I ever have another boat! Thanks! Mike

Saw the boat up close at Skaterfest...it
looks better in person! I wonder what Phil thinks?

:) :) :)

WOW ! Excellent build. I THOUGHT I just did a lot of work to my '87 TG. Now I realize I just scratched the surface. Beautiful boat.

Sick azz boat!!!:drink:

Hey Mike,

How did you do the rub rail? It's probably newbie question, but I'm curious how it's done. What's it made of? Did you just replace the standard Taco-type rail with fiberglass and paint it?

Sweet boat by the way...

Stan

Hey mike,

Where did you get your drive and tab trim gauge? I have seen them before but can't remember who makes them!!

Some sick videos too! That boat is really amazing!!

Thanks
Jim

We had to cut skinny strips of wood and tack in place, then glass it together and some putty to make it smooth... sounds easy huh? :lolhit: (probably well over 150hrs in the rail and vent/cleat elimination)

Got them and most all the parts through CP performance, Great people and usually great prices. My shop is set up with CP so we get some great pricing through them! Let me know when your ready to order and ill see if I can save ya come coin.:drink: Thanks! Mike
