Your welcome any time AJ. I can't promise that it will look like that when you take home. We have had quite a few boats leave with holes in them. Some crashed on their own others well you know the sayin rubbin is racin.
Boat looks good, have you had a chance to run it yet? |

any updates on this red beast?
|
No new pics yet but I may shoot some this week. The motors are almost complete, should be finished in a week or two. The rigging is coming along, I have all the wire in the boat just putting on the connectors (takes time). I changed direction on gauges and had to modify the dash to accommodate the digital display's and gps. The plumbing is 80% complete on the H2O side and the steering lines are in the boat. counting out how many straps to order to hold down the hose and wire. Still looking for drives have one transom assy. Feelin good about the progress I can see an end in sight.:party-smiley-048:

The dash I have for the boat was originally set up for analog gauges. I am using a digital dash so I had to modify it to allow the displays to fit where I wanted them.
Thanks to a mbones for helping with the glass work.:drink: |

Today I cut some holes in the dash for the new gauge pack and the GPS. I am going to have some carbon panels made to cover most of the white and over lap part if the gauge displays. The dash will be painted red to match the boat with black carbon panels. I plan on putting full time cameras looking out like rear view mirrors. Each side of the dash will get a monitor to display the full time camera view. I have not decide on a monitor so that is why I have not cut the holes yet.

I have a question on your engine mounts.. they really seem to be "reaching" a long distance from the tunnel stringers to the engine mounts/plates, is this normal for an MTI? Seems like it would be easy to make them a stronger in the fore and aft direction. Looking forward to the completion.... |

Not my design the mounts. They where one of the things that MTI provided and installed. IMO when the engines are in place they will add stiffness to the stringer mounts. Inner stringer mounts are in two parts the part that is bolted to the stringer is a very thick pice of angle so it is a bit stronger than a flat metal that would be bent on a break. I am putting my confidence in the design that they use on other MTI's.
I do appreciate the feedback, as your point would strengthen the bracket. Check out this other MTI. The mounts are on rails but they are hung similar to mine. |

It has been a while but here is what has been done. I eliminated most of the blue on the motors, and I hope to set one in next week. The dash is on hold had to make some changes, but still all digital gauge package. The transom assy. are on, and drives are in the box.
|
Looks great, When do you think you will be done? I love red!
|
Still too far out for me to tell should be on the water toward the later part of this summer.
