That's a nice looking boat. The interior and cabin look brand new, I suppose as a result of the $8K they invested.

Great project! Keep us posted.

cool, looks like ya got Merc Mags there. Keep in mind that should be a 365 with forged internals and sqr port heads when looking for a mate and that engines takes to mild mods very well. I would suspect you should be able to find/build a twin pretty easy. Cool boat and great thread here.

Looks like it is going to polish up good. Just got started and the color is coming back nice! A couple weeks at this and it should look great! Quite a difference compared to the untouched above the rail

Looks like I found an engine, coming from a boat that was getting something bigger. If the guy can get the shipping straight, it should be here in about a week. I wasn't even planning on getting this far this season, but there is a good chance it could at least get wet for some testing if things keep going smooth.

I'vev been checking over the electrical, going to replace the fuse holders since a few are kind of loose. Where the heck is the switch for the bow lights? Nav lights work fine, just can't seem to figure out where the headlight switch is, probably not called healights either hahaha. What am I missing?

YOUR LIKE THE GUY WHO WINS POWER BALL INSTEAD OF ME! YA WANTA' HATE HIM BUT YOU JUST CAN'T:angry-smiley-038:
WHAT A GREAT FIND! HOPE SHE SEES WATER SOON.

Typically the nav lights are...
 
...your bow lights (red/green) and stern or transom light with one direction of the switch and your anchor/all around light with the other direction.

Usually the acc switch is for extra electrical ie, radio, gps/sonar, but not always!

I wonder about the paralell battery switch. Is there also a master battery switch.

Is if fair to assume the court lights are cockpit lights? I notice there seem to be three transom lights.

What is the switch to the right of the starboard tach?

Check their spelling on paralell on the dash! Anything else on it have all the right parts, but not in the right order?

PS:
OK, I looked at the earlier pictures and see your docking lights (head lights). I guess look all over for switches. Hate to say it, but you might need to trace wires back from the bow!

inthetundra 07-15-2012 02:54 PM

Yup, thats the one I am looking for, the docking lights. The court lights are the ones in the cockpit area. The nav and anchor lights work, also control the 3 on the transom. The odd ball switch is a three way. I figured the docking lights are stock on the boat so I can't imagine there not being a switch. I guess they could have been added later. Yeah, I noticed they have it spelled wrong. Maybe it will become collectable that way hahaha
