36 skater project
 

As I have mentioned earlier in this thread, I bought a full Livorsi Guage package through Bill at Diamond Perfromance. Speedo, tachs, water pressure, water temp, fuel pressure, voltmeter, and fuel level.
After getting the panels back, I wanted to see what it all looks like together.

LH side

WOW! That's some dash bling!

Dave,
The dash looks great!! Do you mind if I ask where you had the panels made?

Thanks, Bill at Diamond Peformance hooked me up with Steve at Innatech.
He does dashes for several high profile boat manufacturers

That looks very sweet. Nice work.

Nice work, they look great!

Thanks for the pm!
Jr.

Very nice!

She's back on the trailer.

Thanks guys

Cool project I like the design on the floor!:drink:

thanks . The floor was designs were done by Glassdave and painted by lightening jet and friends. The fountain is a project i've been working on for about 4 years

that skater looks beautiful, i saw it when okie tunnel was working on it and WOW.

You should have seen the look on my wife's face when I pulled into the driveway after buying it back in 2008:eek:
I can thank a whole bunch of people for the transformation:drink:
thanks for the complement!

holy smokes! this thread is pushing 300,000 views :eek:




wow . . . . :D

I saw it when okie had it. He had big plans for it too but now has two small children(1 then). He knew he didn't have the time to put into it. You have done a stellar job. I would love to see it in person when done.

Thanks I appreciate the compliment, I'm glad to have the right people work on the Skater, it sure has been a big undertaking.
yeh, I was lucky to get it from okie, plus i was able to finance it just before the big bank problem.
I always wanted a 36 skater outboard,
I had talked to john robinson about buying it before okie swooped in

Well . . . . in case you wanna go racing and crane off the trailer you can do that now . . . . . and lower the center motors down about another half inch :D

And so you dont slip off the shiny trailer . . . . super coolio Skater non slip on the drive guard fresh off my cutter :cool:





worse part is it looks to nice to step on :D

Man, Dave! I like what you're doing! yeh the skater is going to be ready to crane into the water now. Anybody have a strap for sale?
Pretty and clever with the radius notch on the tunnel pods!:drink:
I've never seen that done with the non-skid before, that's supercool!:drink:

Shoes have to come off early

Dave those non slip stickers are bad-A! I love them.. I may be hitting you up for some of those...

Looks great ! Are you bolting jack plates to transom with some kind of stainless plate to keep jack plate edge from chaffing paint ?

Incredible job you guy's..... OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!:drink:

Thats actually the way they were originally mounted and these were pretty much what was on it except they were the stainless ones (weighed a ton). Are we missing something? What would chafe? Do you have an example pic of what you are referring to? Thanks


Lemmie know, right now i only have black though. I can get clear but the quantity i have to buy is kinda pricey. I can do pretty much any logo in it :cool:

Yes I will post pix later . 0.90 stanless plates that get sandwiched between jack plates and transom . Yes the stainless Jack plates are a bit heavier but they are the only plates rated for severe offshore use . In your case you will most likely be OK only because those 2.5 wegh I think 350 lbs . In my case I have 3 Litres that weigh 505 . I had same alum plates on a checkmate that started to fail @ slot area after a few years of use . Just trying to help . If you need plates I can hook you up with them

I think the plates used between the jackplates and transom are good insurance with offshore outboard applications.:ernaehrung004:

David,
I got to see the boat and trailer this past weekend.. It looks great!! I dont know which is nicer, the boat or trailer!! Those tunnel pods came out great!
Jr.

Hey Dave, how bout a game of "guess that part" lol :drink:

36 skater project
 

Well, that first one is easy, because you gave me a clue yesterday, being the water block. No. 2 would be the bezels that you made to protect the cut outs above the fuel tanks. No. 3 is that nice little drain that you replaced between the canopies, No. 4 I'm stumped:grinser010:

the round ones are for the hole for the tank fill, figured as long as i was there that could also benefit from the protection as well.

Thanks for thinking of that too!:drink:

Thanks! I really like the work that they're doing up there:cool:

I know I know.......................but I cheated:evilb:

Hey Dave since you probably wont be racing this thing maybe you could just use those mammoth lifting rings on the transom for water skiers :D

Dave(s), this 36 has really come out nice... looking forward to seeing pics of it on the water and hearing about how it shakes out! :cool:

Thanks, I know there is still alot to do with the rigging, and then dialing in with the 4 2.5s will be a trip:boat::boat::boat::boat: you notice all in sync
