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............

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.

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!

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

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

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

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
