Wow, very nice Thomas , that's going to be one of the nicest 37 out there when your done with it, good to see some of the 37's being completely restored. It will be worth all the hard work once you get it on the water. Congrats I can't wait to see it again.

If we turn the oval flame arrestors sideways (almost right against transom), we only need about 3.5 inches more of clearence. So, the plan is to use these scoops I found online, facing backwards, instead of raising the hatch (all kinds of extra work with that). It will only eat up a very small portion of the sunpad and since they're carbon fiber, they should go with the theme you started in the cockpit as well as the sunpad. If not, I would just get them painted.

Progress! After deciding to go with #6 prop shafts in the SCX's, we had to raise the drives as much as possible, so I sold the Imco boxes and bought new Stellings adjustable boxes that allow us to come up 2". That plus 2" shorties should get us where we need to be. However, the Stellings boxes required us to move the motors forward. Below is a link to Eddie's progress on that posted in GD.

Funny, I was up at Eddie's shop putting my cabin together when you posted this.
No splash yet, should be the first week of Sept. as I plan on going to the Lake Cumberland PR that week and have already booked things. I sure would have thought I would have been in the water by now, but there were some major decisions that had to be made on setup and it just took time to think them through (if anyone is interested I'll share the different options we considered and why). Below are a few pics of the cabin, it's pretty much complete except for the upper shelving, the inside sliding door cover, speakers and I haven't installed the flatscreen yet. I'll update a little quicker now that we are getting close. |

Time for a little updating. After much back and forth about the exact direction of the project, we have finally decided on the route to take. So, we are now making some really good head way on the boat. We started with removing most everything from the engine compartment. That included the entire fuel system, gimbles, motor mounts, water plumbing, etc. The fuel system was no where near large enough for the power, there were no strainers, some questionable wiring,etc. In addition to all of these items, we've also added extension boxes and IMCO SCX drives.
We raised the Stellings boxes 2", which caused a steep driveshaft angle. In order to fix it, we had the choice of moving the engine up, or forward. Since up wasn't an option, we went forward. I cut the bell housing mounting ears off of an IMCO inner transom plate. I extended the ears by 5", which moved the engine 5" forward. Here are a few pics. Eddie |

We also cleaned up some of the rigging on the transom. We still need to clean the bilge, but here are some before and after cleaning up the wiring, etc.
