I am just doing some small mechanical stuff. Replace cables for the shifters, trim indicators, throttles. Fix my sea strainers that would drip a little bit. Finish my windshield reseal project, re-bond my deck joint.

All for the Formula 292 with 377 Scorpions...
CMI E-Top Headers
BBlades 30P labbed Bravos
FAT Polished Billet Handles
Custom Polished Billet Step Pads
Drop the Silent Thunder box and add Tips w/Flappers
Hope to reduce some weight on the azz and maybe pickup 3-4 mph with the exhaust and props.
All said and done...$6300 bones! We'll see if I put my money where my mouth is this winter!

Going through the outdrive and then new paint/stickers. Pulling the motor apart to see what it looks like (found a few small pieces of valve retainers in the pan- new retainers). Every single piece of wiring in the boat will be replaced- 10 years of solt did them no favors. All new custom Livorsi gauges in a new re-worked dash. Complete the installation of the scuba system. Install a Livorsi pop up bow light and an anchor light. Install a new Optima battery. Partially new graphics (vinyl). re-Paint bilge. New brake system on the trailer. Install new hatch lift. Mount rear facing camera monitor in the new dash.
I am not doing this all myself, but am looking to have it completed by the end of January.

You guys are having too much fun. I put my boat to bed for winter a month ago. Current project (took pic below 2 hours ago...) is replacing a leaking lower intake manifold gasket on a 3.8L in my 2001 Grand Prix. Like a friggin' jig saw puzzle, but fun none the less!

It was re-rigged as a twin and Spark from Vicious Marine and Tag did some bottom work than Tag raced it under the Spirit of America name in SBI.
I took it to the extreme as the boat was torn down, like lowering the seats 5 inchs for a lower center of gravity, Tilting them back so I can have a lower canopy profile, moving them back a couple for better CG..
it's been a fun project but was held up this summer when I bought a house to flip.
