Nice work so far

Just throwing some ideas around, I won't know exactly what i can do until i have the engines back in the boat. Maybe not something that extreme but the tips slightly closer together on the transom would look cool. Just figured I'd make it unique since i have a blank canvas.

For the cost of 2 verados i could build a couple bullet-proof small blocks and upgrade to XR drives. And i would still have money leftover lol. If i ever have a boat with outboards itll be a CC.

Looking good. Is that plywood or composite?

I would stick with stock exhaust...what happens if it needs to be replaced down the road. Cost an arm and a leg...next buyer might not be so thrilled with your decision.

Already have IMCO powerflow manifolds with 14 inch stainless tails that i ran last 2 seasons.. stock exhaust went to the scrap yard. The stock exhaust and silent thunder is the reason I had to replace the transom in the first place since it leaked at the tips.

Clocks ticking! 99 days until I launch mine again. Where I have I seen that paint job before? lol.

Looks great, it will be better than new. What’s the $$$ of something like that?

I did all the De-rigging myself, it was around $6k for the transom replacement. Still putting another $10k into the boat in New parts and maintenance.
