With the 3 feet of snow on the ground and sub-zero Temps here in Chi-town, I'm in absolutely no hurry lol. This white stuff ain't gonna melt till the the beginning of May if we're lucky lol.

Franks292, If you haven't already done it, Change out the cheap looking plastic bilge thru-hulls and put some nice Stainless or chrome in its place. Plenty of room to do it now that the engines are out.
Also, what was the cost of the job? I know variables/demographics effect the cost. just getting an idea.........
What material did Dave use,Coosa board?

Looks fantastic............

Hows the Formula coming along? Just wanted to get an update. I hope all is well. Ive enjoyed following your build.

Hi everyone, I know I've been dark for a while here... Unfortunately i have hit an unforseen and devastating roadblock that has set me back a few months with getting HEAD RUSH back on the water. It isnt due to personal or health reasons but I don't wish to go into detail. As soon as everything is straightened out I will be posting weekly updates on the progress and rebuild of the boat.

Franks292 06-20-2021 10:33 PM

But I the meantime I have purchased brand new HP transom assemblies from CK marine. Big thanks to Mike for helping me out. As I said before, this boat will come back better than it left the Formula factory!

is there a specific place or brand that you recommend?

AmiableDave 06-21-2021 06:38 AM

No specific place or brand. Just a replacement. West Marine is everywhere...
On your new Transom Assem., they come with no trim senders. Can you install them or are you going to do with out? Have you heard of MDC trim Sync? TrimSync

SabrToothSqrl 06-21-2021 09:05 AM

Neat gizmo, but for $900 I'll just trim mine for now :)

Next boat with Verado's can auto do that I think.

Franks292 10-06-2021 01:56 AM

Hey everyone, I know I've been MIA the last few months, BUT IM BACK! HEAD RUSH is slowly coming together. I have added some more parts to the list including stainless thru hull fittings and bow light, new Autometer marine gauges and the new BTR windshield support. Looking forward to giving you guys more updates as we go!

Looks great, nice work
Don't like those single point drains. Those things will crack someday and the single point have clogged before and can cause a crack block
