40 Holes in the dash to fill crazy . the boat is going to Lake Michigan
|
|
Had a comment about helping you fill 40 holes, but it just takes me back to my college days. :)
Great work and thanks for sharing the progress. |
Was it ever in ON? I seem to remember one that looked like it in Orillia and on the Trent Severn going past the cottage
|
Great progress pics! Thanks! Glad to hear she's coming to my home lake. Michigan side perhaps? 😁😁

Been making some good progress got the mockup motor inthe boat so that we could fit the hatches.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...09f0d1085e.jpg JUST A LITTLE MODIFYING NEEDED. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...64f98040ef.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...2ad0298702.jpg HAD TO CUT INTO THE DOG HOUSE |
A little more progress got the rear half of the deck gelcoted white the fore deck will get paint so that we can save the Scarab logo on the fore deck. and the second hatch is in primer. Regards Dan

Engine room is ready for rigging cockpit floor and bulkhead done ready to start installing parts.
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...9fd3c61da3.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...6f4b8d1ad5.jpg We don't paint the center of the bilge until all the rigging is done. That way we don't have to repaint. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...50a9fec710.jpg Saddle tanks will get carpeting like the original https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...1208d24b62.jpg The forward bulkhead gets carpet also |
Carpet? Interesting.

Going to be sweet

Rookie is correct carpet in the cockpit not engine room. Not much up there two fuel tanks and bulkheads.

Reeeeealy nice! When are they going in?
|
The blowers look incredible. Did you power coat them or anodize them?
|
Hard coat anodize
|
Just about done with the engines the off to the dyno. we got the motor mounts back from anodizing installed in the boat and did final fit of the engines for water plumbing.

Joe is gonna be a happy boat! Beautiful work Team Archer!
|
Looks very nice Dan. is it possible to look even better with only two motors? I wonder what the performance difference will be. How many hp are these supposed to put out?
|

Well Shucks. You gotta do what the customer wants.

Thats a shame! Another iconic boat bites the dust.
