In case anyone is actually watching this thread….
Got the port motor mostly healthy and ran 76 MPH in 40* weather, freezing my ass off this fall. Easy 80 w/the stock 225’s. w/two hot rod motors I will build for it 👍🏻😎🏁🌴 I had some free time this fall so attacked the science project. I thought my cabin galley ideas would make the cabin look smaller but I think it did the opposite. I had to move the boat forward on the trailer to get the tongue weight back after the IO to OB conversion but I did and it worked. Now tows straight and true at 80 MPH which is mandatory for long distance trips. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...b5b933417.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...45bce43ed.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...36896fbdd.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...ae17e6fac.jpeg |

Looks great!! I keep going back and forth between a checkmate and a formula, lol.

Should have added, 76 was w/92 gls of fuel too.

Good work love the cabin look inside with the wood

Outstanding!!!

Got a nice surprise yesterday.
If you look close, you can see narrow, black trim pc’s running horizontally at the seam of hull to deck. I thought it would make a nice little, final touch if I replaced it w/the same stained mahogany as in the galley. Would also tie the main cabinetry in w/the stained doors on the anchor locker. (that will hold the 15 gl water/ballast tank) I pulled it out yesterday and discovered that is teak! Who paints teak black?!? Ran it through the planer to strip the paint it looks great! |
Awesome job brother!
I am constantly on the lookout for your next project. Can’t wait to get the Checkmate down here to keep Elvis company, lol. |
Don’t need no moh projects 🤪
