Thanks that's about what I thought. Is kinda a shame because I had a 19' Hammond with a 383 that would go faster.

O sorry I should have been more specific mine aren't cleaners they are 20 x 15 stainless round ears

[ATTACH=CONFIG]550515[/ATTACH] yes the name is going to change.

Its an Iphone/Ipad glich

You're going to have to do the ceremony to change the name or it's bad juju!

Also....19' might have been faster, but not in 3' swells!!!

Haha I know but my woman hates the name haha. More than double the horse power means double the top speed right? Just kidding but it would be nice.

Good looking boat. That's crazy from Orange to almost white.

It is crazy I'm a painter and I have never seen anything fade so bad in 5 year or even longer. I'm working on cleaning up the drives and painting them with a single stage enamel with hardener I have decreased them, sanded them, spot primed as kinda a guide coat. I also ordered new decal kits for them. I'm going to just change the oil in them and cross my fingers. The oil in them looked ok and no water so I'm hopeful.[ATTACH=CONFIG]550543[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]550543[/ATTACH]

I would leave it faded until you can seal prime and paint. The roll and tip on top side decks works good but a real trick on hillsides. Especially on unprimed smooth vertical surfaces. I lost count how many great old school boats I've seen with that name. I think it comes from high geographic areas where massive amounts of home made alcohol cause very deep sleep and the out house is located deep in the woods.

Yeah the idea is to get this thing in the water on my tight budget but I have had 8 boats and never finished in the budget or the timeline. Anyone know where I can find some front pins for the trs dives. The ones that hold the trim rams. The one's on it had washers welded to one side and a hole drilled on the other side with a bent nail holding them in.
