3point, thanks, never would have thought of that method, I'll give it a shot The arch is almost off, had to get the grinder and sawzall out lol |
You stole it on ebay.. how much did you pay for the trailer since there was no trailer included in the auction?
beautifull boat.. i would just remove the arch, cut the windshield down and wrap it. congrat on your purchase. |
I had the trailer under another boat already, will be looking for a proper trailer this winter. thanks!

Congrats - if you cut the windshield down yourself, post up lots of pics and details. I've been waiting to see how involved it is.

I use super degreaser from meguiars professional detailing line of products. Spray it all down and go to town with whatever brush it takes to get in every nook and cranny.

If you really want it clean (I do this more often than not) is again fill the bilge with hot water add Simple Green and a couple of tennis balls. At this point the boat is on the trailer and I drive to wherever I'm going, pull the drain plug- remove the tennis balls and hose out till clear. The agitation with the tennis balls really does a good job. If I could attach a pic of the bilge I could -- but it really does keep it clean. 3pointstar |
Nice boat! I have had good luck with 3m bilge cleaner. I disconnect the bilge pumps pour in a gallon of cleaner and fill with hot water let sit over night then pull the drains and scrub then rinse.

Congrats that looked like a great deal!

It's been a long time coming and a lot of sweat getting it ready but yesterday went better than I could have hoped. Boat ran so good, pretty much every gauge and button was working and it just rides so ****ing good.
Major things I tackled: Cut off the arch, cut down the windshield, Mitcher T Paint, painted the interior add to that 100 little things and trying to keep up with normal life and I had myself a 9 month project. Which is kind of fitting because this thing is like my baby, I think I'll put a picture in my wallet to show people lol. Thanks to everyone on here for the encouragement and kind words along the way. http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/...psj8wqfmjz.jpg http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/...psfshtqs6r.jpg http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/...pshpowbipr.jpg http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/...psysu1q3c1.jpg https://youtu.be/8LTcrpycSMU |
