Looking good! Nice strainers. Nothing like Latham components. first class. -Would like a pair of Latham trim tabs for my Mystique.

Yeah the Latham stuff is top notch, expensive...but worth it. Luckily I picked these up from another member here for a lot less than what Latham sells them for

Looks great fixing to paint mine next week how much paint did it take. I've done some in the past but it's been awhile.

carter I did one coat of primer which was a quart and then two coats of topcoat which took 1 1/2 quarts. And that was everything, all the way up under the gunnels too...so buy two quarts and you will be fine.

Thanks Artie...and I was just about to post some more pictures

I figure this will be a good history of the boat when I can't afford to just dump money into the water anymore and have to sell it

Here's some pix of the new full flow stainless raw water intake valves, new water hoses, bilge pumps, float switches, scupper pump, terminal block and candy purple powder coated hatch lift arm

Yes and it's not pretty

I would have loved to replace it with the Hardin dual rams horn unit but unfortunately it's not in the cards ($$$) at this point in time.
