I am going to put in the procharge 502s. I took a bunch of pics during the painting. I'm going to post a thread after we get back next Monday. Enjoying the FL sunshine.

Haven't updated in a while, here are some pics. After and before on the Scoops. Interior out and awaiting new skins. Engines mocked up.

Extended tabs, Canopy's have been redone, bilge modified a bit to accept the staggered engines.

Water inlet hose picks up water from the rear step - not from a pickup tube hanging off the back of the transom. Jerry does that to provide undisturbed water flow to the props. He says the undisturbed water flow makes for a better handling boat and increases speed. :eekdrop: All the mounting brackets are out being painted. When the bilge is finished it will be painted gray/silver.

Still trying to come up with a paint design for the hull and running short on time, but Mitcher T is on the job. He hopes to have a design by the end of next week.

BTW, does anyone know where in the heck the stern light socket is on this boat?

Looks great!
Holy crap those are some long tabs.

Your boat may be different then mine but check on these things.

I noticed there is no drain holes on the side of the hull for the deck hatches. Water will pour into the front compartment if you do not put one in the lip of the hatches. There is also a drain hole in the center of the deck, under the bow rail, just before it flares up to the dash that prevents water from pooling and overflowing into the cockpit. You may also want to put a bilge pump in the front compartment if it doesn't have one already. If water gets in there when sitting on the trailer, it doesn't drain to the back.
Here is a stern pic of my boat. The stern light is centered just under the name.
Look at the side shot of my boat from front to back. There are two thru hull fittings for the deck hatch drain and sump pump and one for the deck center drain by the canopies.
You can't really see the deck drain but it is right behind the last bow rail support.

Keep up the great work!

P.S.- If you need parts talk to Josh Stickles. If he doesn't have it, he knows where to get it.

Thanks a bunch Tom, I'll pass that along to Jerry.

Updates.......:whistle:

The project was put in hold for a bit due to a medical emergency but it is now coming together. Also, Mitch came up with an awesome design for the boat. Hope to have some progress pics up in a day or two.

Sorry for your emergency, hope all is well.
