No mooring, I'm a lucky guy, my old man owns a house in the cove to the left of the sand bar (facing north). I usually just leave her on the dock. Need a lift (cant stand the scum line!). I use to live in West Palm beach, FL, so my boat has only been on the lake for the past 2 seasons. Dunked in late last year. :-(
Trying to link up with other hot boats on the lake. I've been out most weekends this year! I'll be on the lake this Sunday too! Sebago is a Blast!!

Panels all cut and fit! When they are finished they will be black. The two small gauges are for transmission oil temp and of course an auxiliary monster GPS speedo!

It pretty much rained most of the day so not much working physically on the boat but it did allow me to work with one of my other boat projects. This is my digital drive/tab indicator. Both drives and tabs will be displayed on the same screen, everything is completely configurable since I am writing the code for it!
This is just testing the code with my new slide potentiometers!

If your interrested I completed a major renovation to my 1983 38' Scarab a couple of years ago. I converted it from side by side engines to a staggerd set up. Have lots of pictures of the project, and may have some useful suggestions for you. Your pictures of your project bring back a lot of memories.
Best Regards,

Welcome to OSO - would love to see some pics of the staggered conversion. You should start a thread and post the pics!

Looks sick.
Have u considered pulling the plug on the teak cab door ?
With the facelift I think it looks a bit out of place.
Just $.02
Major transformation to the boat. good job
