RickG: I am waiting for the new legs to show up so that I can do just that. They should be arriving any day now so that I can fit the bolsters. That is kind of the last mystery piece of the puzle. I am going to take a piece of stainless stock and glass it under the floor and weld some nuts right to it.

US1. I did not install any drainage in the outer sections. They are now going to be TOTALLY water tight aso there is no place for water to get in any more. In the gas tank area I will be adding some drainage on the off chance that water or even gas gets in there it will have a way to get out.

wow good job , now get this damn thing finished

DUDE I am trying!!!!

TooOld you getting worried yet

Next weekend I will not be able to work on it much as I hope to go up and start installing my dock stairs in Maine. That takes priority as it was a PITA to get the permit and I am not sure if I can get another so I want to make sure that I have the stairs in place before the permit runs out.

Jon I did same thing when I rebuilt my motor mounts. I will post some pictures this week . I think you will like what I did . It is my version of offshore mounting using the stock isolated motor mount. These peices are through bolted to the stringers and centre pod and the mounts are then bolted to these plates( stainless).
One VERY IMPORTANT word of caution when you bolt the boltsers to these plates you will be using stainless on stainless hardware ,be sure to put lots of antisieze because the smallest amount of dirt or material in the threads will cause the hardware to lock up and may ruin the backing plate nuts. I found this out the hard way mounts the stainless mounts I fabricated.
I have enjoyed watching your rebuild and figure this will probably in the future of my 302. So I will used what I've learned then . Keep up the good work.

Rick thanks. I know that when I repower the motor mounts will have to be redone as well. At this point I think it will not be such a big deal as I am getting kind of good at glass work

I hope to put the finishing touches on it this weekend.

Jon - Haven't seen anything for a while. Did I just miss the finish? Or, have you been taking a break?

Any new news? Hey Jon also I was curious what you think it would have cost to have someone else do that work for you?

He was in chat last night breifly. It seems he's busy making money or some other foolish $hit like that!
