WOW Chuck, Looks great!!!

where do you get the caps to fill the foam holes. jenks

Chuck,

The progress so far is outstanding. Very nice work. Can't wait to see the completed project. You must hae the Admiral working overtime as well as yourself. :cool-smiley-011:

They were there from the factory, although I am missing one on the starboard side. I'm just going to use some of the "Good Stuff" expanding foam that comes in a aerosol can to fill that one in, and seal it over with a layer of West System epoxy. I don't see any need for them to be removable.

Thanks for the support, folks. There are times when this seems like more than we can handle, but if you tackle things on a one-by-one basis, you suddenly notice progress. For example, now I'm clean when I come home from working on it and the money outflow has slowed to a trickle. It's way more fun bolting shiny, clean, freshly-refurbished parts back on that it was to pull rusty, grimy bits off and spend hours in the parts washer and glass-bead booth. I'm sooo grateful for Dianne's help - What a trooper. I shudder to imagine what this project would cost at $80 or $100 per hour for some shop's labor!

Hopefully, I'll have more pictures of visible progress to post next week.

Whatever you say Humpty Dumpty!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D

thanks
 

C Spray, thanks keeping the thread alive. I'm sort of doing the same thing with my 382 and my wife is very supportive. I'm at that point where you are, but my power objective is completely different then yours. If I could learn how to post pics I would share.

Jenks, There will be plenty of more pics and posts. This boat is going thru a multi faceted upgrade.

Posting pics is easy... just make sure you have them downsized. Microsoft image resizer works well and is free on the microsoft site.

Just hit advanced below quick post, then manage attachments. As stated, you will have to resize to 1024x768 prior to attaching pix! Hope this helps, we'd all like to see some pictures of a similar project!

the site software will resize for you. I never have to resize 13xx by 15xx pixel jpegs

Never works for me at 25xx by 19xx. When I resize, the upload is very quick!
