I would not mount the exhaust tips now, I know it is really tempting but there is a good chance you will want/need to move them slightly after installing the longblock and exhaust tails Just my opinion.... Are you going 20deg on the tabs or follow the bottom at 24deg?

Ive got these tips what do you all think? They too much? I know im gettin way inhead of myself, but i want to mount the transom assy and exhaust tips and trim tabs now. They are slanted but you cant really notice in this pic. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...34477516_n.jpg |

Im getting laid off for a few months comming up. But my goal is to have this in the water in the beginning of may. But we'll see. Im thinking about using the rubber flooring thats coin shaped. I think its called like lonaseal or something like that. Anyone use it before?
the project looks great! i love seeing older boats come back to life :) |

i have the lonseal coin pattern in my boat, i love it! it is not cheap but greatlakes skipper has/had it in grey for a great price. i bought mine from them and have no regrets. my boat was a bottom up project and we had to cut out the gel coated floors and put new wood in, i wasnt going with carpet and the lonseal was allot cheaper and easier than gel coating the texture into it.

Well tried to paint the deck myself...Ran out of paint half way through.. Found out i am not a painter. Hired a guy whos been in the autobody industry for 30+ years. 300$ to paint my deck, engine hatch, and finish the body work on my dash and paint that aswell. Just picked up a full gallon of white imron and activator...Another 450$ Ew...

Going with autometers marine guages.. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...89809577_n.jpg While we were mixing the paint i noticed that it looked a little more "off white" than the bottom..My buddy said nope it was just my eyes...Deff different shade white. Oh well, Paint the bottom next winter lol https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...04939970_n.jpg |
your doing a hell of a nice job!! keep going!!!!!!
|
Looking great Kris!

Starting to look like something! sorry about all the pics lol im just getting excited! |
Sp now the cost cutting is taking place....I was going to run Auto meter gauges, But for the set they're 600$ And I'd rather use that money elsewhere and do auto meters over the winter. A buddy of mine had a new set of faria Gauges for 50$ Hate to do it but im gonna run them. Just undecided whether or not to run the old bezels..Any opinions? Also mounted the dash and new throttle box.

1:Zero Effort Controls
2: Hydraulic Steering 3:Auto Meter Gauges :evilb: |
We actually like all the pic's so you can keep those coming . As for the gauges the faria look period correct so I wouldn't worry bout that either , However I'm not feeling that vent on the the dash . You might want to reconsider .
|
Yes Bryan, I'm taking donations!!

NO ! I meant the vent wont look good on the dash ! LOL !
I've got the vents that came out of my Pantera , I painted them white to match and that would make a good base for you to repaint to your white. You can have them for $25 shipped for all four of them |
Hmm, can you post a pic what you get a chance?
