Larry if that was a race boat and does not have a liner the stock pleasure boat back seat may not fit right. Also may depend how far forward you are going mount it. Front seats not as much of a problem. Mike at Fineline is a friend of mine. I can ask him what he thinks. He for sure can make front seats but they will not be cheap. He does very nice work.

It doesn't have a liner. I'm putting in the rear floor myself.

When I was looking at that boat I was told it wasn't cost effective to put a liner in. If you put a floor in are you putting it on top of the factory race boat bracing? If so rear seat is gonna be high. Saw a 24 race hull that did it on top of the bracing and rear seat was definitely high.

No, I'm adding floor tabs to the sides of the tunnel....

What do you mean? Are you removing all the race bracing on top of the tunnel?

Larry Gempp Jr. 07-22-2014 12:12 PM

Just the two outer stringers. Keeping the center stringer. The bulkheads behind the front seats and behind what will be the rear seats will stay in tact....

Who's Watching
 
I guess you never know who's watching. I was YouTube the other night and searched Skaters. Low and behold I see a video with description anyone know this boat Skater in Fort Lauderdale? Click on it and it is my boat coming in Port Everglades from last weekend. WTF?
Here is what they posted. Funny part was they called it a high speed pass.

you had to be doing at least 100 :lolhit:

boat looks well balanced the way it runs through the rollers.

noticed this video after yours was done...I looked at the blue 24 and contemplated getting it when it was not quite finished...after it sold and hearing what it needed to be "finished" I'm glad I didn't :party-smiley-004:

Same here. I considered the blue 24 also but thought it was too much for a 24 hull and trailer only. Glad I didn't buy it because of all the work needed to correct things. Even though it was advertised as perfect condition.
