Almost ready to start cutting holes! All stringers, transom and bulkheads replaced from fuel tank back. Raised bulkhead at tank in order to mount pumps etc out of sight.

Getting parts prepared. I'm going to sell the healthy 468ci it had in it. Power looks like it will be 509ci somewhere in the 600HP range. I have a new HP Transom going as high as it will go. Likely a 19-19.5" X Dimension.

What did you use in the bilge?

It's gel. How are yours coming?

Got a lot cut out, we got busy at the shop so its been on hold, I see you cut out your back seat only way to go, what did you decide your doing with your old motor?

The back seat was like that. The tub/seat base bolts in.

I'd like to sell the 468ci i got with the boat.

Good progress. I got the transom cut, sealed and fitted. I didn't get a picture after I finished the cutout. I was happy to have read about using mat in the cutout and just happened to have some leftovers from another boat project. I went with a 19" X-Dimension and wish I had gone another 1/2" up since I had the room. Stock drive should put prop shaft just over 2" below the keel. Sold the 468ci I had for the boat and freshened up a 525HP 502ci for the initial install. Next is to paint cutout, final install of transom and set front motor mounts. Then it will be one with rigging.

Looking good man, that things going to be sweet ! if you get yours done I may need to get you to finish my boat it's still in a million pieces.........

Thanks. I'm still waiting to hear about this 509 super build before I decide to order a crank! If I can find a couple solid days, I'll burn through the stack or parts I have and will have a good update.
