i had a couple of the old style PPI buckets from before they went to the rotomolded inner structure. My upholstery guy made patterns off the skins i had. I always thought these were the most comfortable of them all. the layup is pretty basic half inch core with two layers of 1708 on each side in vinylester

my upholstery guy has the seat shells and is covering them in a pearlish white carbon fiber and a standard long grain with a blue thread around the top edge, pretty cool affect.

Seats look awesome Dave.

Absolutely and yes he.
And on top of that he’s just a straight up good dude.

Light refresh on the Tiger motors.

​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​No hurry bro....

wow! i was wondering if the project was on a stop mode ! moving along well ! happy to see some more!

Ohhh its never on stop mode, just a big azz project :D . . . . Its funny how it evolved, no one will ever recognize iLollipops thats for sure lol.

if only LOLLIPOPS was still in business!! what a pole bar that was!!!

Got some updates for the general masses on this fine Valentines day :D . . . .

thought I'd get the bilge in final high build gel/prime before we slapped the deck down for the last time and since Santa clause was unemployed after Dec 25th i put him on to do some sanding and fairing . . .

Pressure tested tanks one last time, held 5 psi over a weekend . . . . that should do

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...be02ab37de.jpg

After everything got sanded down we pulled tanks and gelled all the visible surfaces (and some not visible . . . . everything we could get to anyways)

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...6172e895e1.jpg

I put down a layer of closed cell neoprene under the tanks to help support the tanks over slight irregularities in the floor and bottom of tank. The wells themselves have drains on both sides towards the middle just in case. Its a commercial flooring material that has a diamond plate pattern that i feel helps drain as well.

Hey i think this qualifies as actual rigging . . . . actual rigging :D. . . . that means we've turned the corner and are half way done! (JUST KIDDING . . . JUST KIDDING AL! we're way past that . . . AL? . . . . . . Al??. . . i think Al may have blacked out for a minute there after the half way wise crack . . . .)

At any rate just wanted everything done in the bilge so the tanks got final foamed and bolted in as well as some of the rigging tubes i added under the floor, cant never have to many rigging runs. Also Santa final sanded the prime/gel while we had access. Almost all of this rear structure is new along with some extra outboard stringers so the engines no longer have to be through bolted through the sides of the boat.

YOU SAID IT, THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA, AND EVERY OTHER HUMAN INHABITING THIS GREAT PLANET AGREES... IT'S THE YEAR OF THE CAT!!!
Cheapskate will be bornagain!! like a christian biblethumper!!! :riding:

yes, the ones on the tubes are stainless. Those ones sitting on the tank were a set i bought because the stainless set was to big and i was not sure i was going to be able to shorten and re drill the stainless ones (a b!tch drilling that thin flat stainless but i did it) i got them in case i needed to temp hang them . . . .. good eye though . . . . good eye :cool: . . . . i call them Adel clamps and i have no idea why, i think i heard Jon call 'em that once and it stuck :D

LMAO :D :D . . . . like a christian bible thumper . . . . how bout THE reverand X . . . . this dude is seriously born again . . . . you gotta watch the whole thing . . . . or most of it , funny azz cursing preacher.

“Cushion clamps” were originally developed for aircraft use and Adel was the manufacturer thus the name.

Class 🤡🤡🤡

ah . . . that makes sense . . . my buddy is a pilot
