I was going to put up a thread here partly to show what I have done and will do for renovation during the winter and also to get some tips and ideas on different solutions.

nice , have fun :)

Here is some pics how it looked when it came to Sweden in the end of september.

The nasty cabin

The first thing I did was to sell the 496 and changed the standard Bravo 1 for a XR with teague upper.

Cool! I'm looking forward to seeing and reading about the updates.

Congrats on getting a Y2K.

Ok so u replaced the bravo with a beefy teauge xr.
Whats taking the place of that 496 a saab motor ???? LoL

Well i hope it can handle about 600hp for a while :rolleyes:

Looks nice!

Good looking boat, I have not seen one with the yellow grab bars!

Thanks! :)

And that will be the last yellow you see in my boat, they're going to be powder-coated black right now :)

The first thing I did with the boat was to tear out the old moldy carpet in the cabin and then glued a new.

The cabin turned out great. I don't have carpet in my cabin.

Is there storage behind the front lounges? I don't have them.

Just goes to show that there are no 2 Superboats that are exactly the same.

Wow, awesome redesign of the cabin. I also luv your color selection.

send us more pics!

Thanks Dave!

There is no storage behind the door, I'm guessing that the door is only there to access what is in front if needed

I would really like to see how your cabin looks if you have any pictures

Thanks Noli!

The thought is that the boat will change color scheme both in and outside, but it's still a lot to do before summer...

The saddler has started with the seats right now and I hope the boat will be painted in April

I recieved the new plotter last week so the dashboards beginning to get finished.
This is how it looked a couple of weeks ago and looks right now...

Hey Jim, boat is coming along very nice. What Power are you putting in her ???
Gary

The biggest problem when I bought the boat was that it didn't had hydraulic steering, Now I have got hold of all the parts I need except the transom mount, Does anyone know some mounts for sale?

Thanks!

This is what will be in the back.... :cheer:

I had a 600 sci in my Y2K, we will compare performance once your up and running .

Wow! That's nice.

Here's a few cabin pics....

Another.....

Thanks for the pictures! Your boat is really nice!!!

What was your top speed? I'm really curious about my speed :confused:

A few more questions: How was the water intake on your boat? through the drive or an external pickup?
Do you remember what prop you used?

//Jimmy

Jimmy, you should see somewhere between 81-83 with the 600sci, Rick Blueprinted Superbabi's hull so I'm not sure if that helped or not.
Intake was through the XR Drive.
As for the prop The very best was with a Merc Racing 5 blade maximus, if I remember correct it was a 26" cut to a 25 1/2, go back into the Superbabi threads to did up that info.
Best of luck and keep up posted, even though our Y2K has been sold, we will always have fondness for the Superboat Y2K.
Gary

Thank you Gary for all that information!! :)

I would like to buy a new rubrail insert, does anyone know where to get it or what kind of mark it is?

The dashes look awesome.

luv the Black Momo and the carbon dash!!

twin plotters are great!

Luv the red theme throughout

Merc Racing will be awesome on her.

Dave, luv the port hole.

You guys can probably talk to Carmen at Areo Marine to get you a 2 foot x 2 foot acrylic window. Would be fixed so as to allow light in and give the cabin a feeling of larger and less clostro inside

I have now picked up the front seats from the saddler, I'm really satisfied with results

AWesome bolsters!

I like the carbon look. Sit/Stand option is nice when the seas get rough

PPI in FL has a floor mat that you stand on that absorbs shock

please keep the pics comin'

Looking good....love the dash and seats....making some real progress....

Looks great!

upholstery looks nice and tight , It's hard to find some one to be able to get that rite .

Thank you guys!!!


Picked up the rest of the interior

Now it is just to wait on painting the exterior, which I hope will happen in early April

What did you use to paint the bilge?

Now that you have a scoop on the hatch please fill in those ugly vents on the sides ...........

I have used two-part polyurethane from International

In a week or two I'm hoping for a test drive....
