Brian Snyder's ride..

Black transom and the way it carries forward , I got wood.

I met Brian at Put it in your butt bay this year. LOVE that boat.
His cruiser is pretty sick too!

Thanks guys can’t wait to put it together I got all the spooks of wire and all me spools of battery cable bunch of parts ect. That will be the fun part ! Making a road trip to pick it up shorty!

Dug the old girl out of winter hibernation to get it ready for a road trip again !!!

Eric - bravo man, great work. This is about the point in the project you really start to feel like you're gaining ground and all the **** was worth it. It's a tough go and the percentage of people that finish or even get to this point is slim.

Keep it up, you're almost there. Get ready for people to ask you what year it is, some will think its brand new (and it is!!!)

We're pulling for ya brother! shoot a text/call if you need something or if you have questions. I've done it a couple times over, made my fair share of decisions where I wish I could go back and change something, if I can save you any of that I'd be happy to.

Absolutely!!! I’m excited to start putting it together it will be nice starting from absolutely scratch with all wiring and plumbing sometimes it’s harder trying to save what’s there. I’ll reach out soon !!!! Time to make progress!!

Ok few things on my mind. With getting very close to rigging time I have been taking the time to set up shop with all the inventory needed to build a boat lol. In fact a have my buddies boat he’s rebuilding to rig with him as well so I’m really stocking up lol. Nothing worse then being in the middle of so thing and need a screw or bolt or clamp you don’t have. Any way I’m maping put my wiring making diagrams printing them off and lamenting them so I can put them in a binder in the boat since it will be from scratch. Know with working on a lot of different boats I have got a good idea of what to do and what not to do lol amazing how many shorts and things I found when taking my cig apart and others as well over time things rub threw and all kinds of things. So looking at switches to order in the past I have done the black toggle switches there robust and last. But each one has to have a breaker wired in. I was looking at the round push button that has the breaker built in the switch. Really cleans up wiring and seems like they have a decent review. Any thought ? Who has experience with them ? I like them because it’s less connection to go bad over time and less moving parts with not having to wire in breakers externally

Thinking of these

My only complaint with those is $$$. I’ve used many of them, great pieces and the manufacturer has stood behind the 2 I had issues with.

dig those!!! Very clean.

Just simplifies wiring I think I’ll give them a try !

You went this far, might as well... your boat is going to look amazing when finished!!

$85/light, ouch.

I`d rather do a bit more wiring, buy a fuse panel and pay $25/ switch.

I have these if you need reliable swicthes without a breaker.

Engine hatch alignment pins there’s a set on the hatch that lock in them has 4 across the front

^^^^^ If that don't make your sticker peck up nothing will!!

Really happy with how it turned out so many years of work lol

Damn that looks good.

Its funny that we must like the same type of look. Mine will be completely different than yours but a very similar simple style.

It looks amazing - looking forward to seeing how things begin to gel in terms of planning and implementing the rigging.

Thanks !!! Full shop here at the moment !! Springs coming fast

Your TG looks great! I'm sure you know all the specialty vendors already, but Eddie Marine has some cool rigging hardware!
