Yes, looks like this will occupy some of your time! But it will be worth it when your done...Keep up the good work Randy!

Thanks Chris, it is starting out just a little more than I figured on but at least I'm not finding anything rotted. It is probably for the best that I am going into the floor like this because with 8-900 hp I definitely want things solid and to stay put! I will also get to learn a new skill if I go with gelcoating the floor, that really does seem like the right way to go. Cleaning will be so much easier that way. Randy

Looks good!!

Craig, I would have to say yours looks better because it is on the water, LOL but I will get there. When my garage project gets done I won't be at the mercy of Nebraska weather & should be able to get more done. Randy

I understand that. Since I don't have my 10,000 sqft shop anymore I had to do mine in the driveway and cover it with a tarp. It was no fun. Every time it rained I was outside in the storm using a bucket to get the water off the tarp so it wouldn't leak on my new bilges paint.

I'm not on the water for a week or two. I've got the blower off of mine. I'm buying a mega blower and super chiller combo for mine. I hope to be back on the water in the next week or two. Now I'm on the hunt for a 34 pitch bravo 1.

I have seen a few props out there mostly in pairs though, when you get that thing all dialed in it should be a beast!! I just talked to my builder today & things are coming along nicely. Hopefully I can get the rest of the floor out this week & strip the transom so I can get it smoothed out. I am really not liking that splotchy crap they do in the bilge. It looks like the care bears vomited all over!!! LOL. I am having a problem with storing the stuff I remove. The garage is full & my driveway looks like a boat shop!! People drive by & just gawk. Oh well things could be worse. I will post some more pics when I get more work done. Randy

I hear you on the splatter paint in the bilge. The guy who I bought my offshore fishing boat put that crap all over and I don't like it.

Lol, promised myself I was going to do something about that splatter paint in the engine compartment if I ever pull the motor. Really wish Eliminator would have just shot white gelcoat and called it good. That splatter crap fad was outdated in the mid 90's.

looking good,

Looking good randy, keep it up, with a lot of pics!
