Default My new to me older 42 Lightning

Just thought I would move over here as I do some upgrades. I had some chat in a few other areas and thought it would be better for me to keep track of the time and money and somthing to look back on LOL....

Just to start it was a 3400 mile trip to get it (FL to Pier57 and back and a few other stops) Im home and have not had time to spash yet. Ill post pics soon starting the AC install this weekend.

Thanks Guys!
Started some of the install today. Cut the hole first to get it over with lol. I was suprised on how thin the bottom of the hull was. Letting the 5200 dry over night so I can finish up to the strainer. Hope to mount the unit in the morning... Have fun on the water ill be working.
