Got all the drive crap and cast iron chunk out of the boat.
Spent every spare dime and hr on the new shop and is the first chance Ive had to putz w/it since getting it home.
Next projects will be pulling the tank to add capacity then draw up the design for the bracket/platform for the outboards.
One headache on the tank is they put the fuel fill in the back so w/the boat in its normal bow up stance you can only get 45 or so gls into the 67 gl tank.
Transom assembly is also out.

Got a bit side tracked w/this thing.
Built it to hang on davits on the back of our cruiser which is....., for sale.
Oops.
130 lbs and have a 35 hp I redid for it.
May buy a trailer and use it as a jet ski.

Minor headway.
Yesterday we closed on the sale of our cruiser though, and that was huge!
Way easier to spend time/money on the Convincor w/the cruiser gone.
Converted the trailer from dual fenders to singles which I reinforced to be able to use as steps.
Also built the pod for the controls. Still need to wrap it in glass.
Next is to pull the tank to add capacity and move the fill port to the front so I can actually fill the damn thing.
Reinforced w/pressure treated 5/4 deck plank
new fenders
orig fenders
new controls pod. just needs wrapped w/glass and paint

Very nice! It'll be perfect for my granddaughters and a hell of a lot better that a jet ski. They'll be the coolest kids on the lake tooling around in "Elvis"

Thx guys.
let me know if you need any help setting up Kelly.
I already hammered a bunch of cup into the wheel so it will hold at elevated engine heights and trim and should carry the bow nicely 😉
