21 Build ???????
 

The forum has been a little dead lately so here's a little build I've been working on . Used to be a factory Merc sponsored boat with a 300 on it . I was told it ran in the 90's .
The deck was removed and a one off custom deck was built . Looks like it was splashed off a little Scarab . Should be a fun boat ..........

We cut out the console and seat , Filled some holes in the floor , and cut pull up cleats and a new fuel fill . Gotta love those late nite's !

Deck was finished in Base/Coat Clear/Coat and the floor was done in white gel coat , NO NON SKID , better have you sparry's on or your going for a ride but it should be easy to clean !

That's gonna be awesome

Looks good. Should be a fun boat when its all done.

Looking foreward to watching the progress.

Picked up 3 250 EFI merc's today ! What do I Do ? I don't think there's room on the transom for all three !!!!!

.




where did you get them?

are there any more available?




.

Looks good!

Noli I lucked up and found them on craigs list . They were within an hours drive and the primary motor only has 275 hours on it . Two run and have killer compression across the board and one is a parts motor

Whaddaya wanna sell off that parts motor?

Then we moved to the hull !

And finally the boat is all white !

.



Wow!

What a transformation!

Nice job Joe. I know you already gelcoated the cockpit. But if you want a little non skid. Lightly sand the gelcoat. get some Interlux Polymeric Non Skid compound and mix it with gelcoat. Works great.

I assume with the way the deck is made you are going to make it a center console or was it originally a center console? In 1 pic it looks like a small console there but not for sure.

It was a single sit down with a small console that you legs in , kept the CG low . However I'm doing a CC and a leaning post . Should be scary as hell doing 85 on a leaning post .

Motor bracket came in and the rigging begins ! Gonna try and have it done by the 7th . If I make it happen it will be fourteen weeks from the day I bought it to the day it splashes .

Your wife must either really love you, or really hate you.
Looks nice.
Make it a stand up like u plan & itll be a hot seller as a flats boat.

Mike the craziest thing is that this is the third boat we've done sense you picked yours up .

Console mock up !

little

Insanity is the place I live in !

.

wow I luv the way this is coming out

I really like painted cowlings...will the cowling receive clear coat ?



.

Noli you must have an 80" computer monitor because you notice the funniest little details ..... I finished the base at 11:30 last nite and shot the clear today ! And yes that is orange peal from the ton of clear I dumped on this thing so I can buff it out and not feel any Paint lines .

.

my MacBook Pro has super sharp images :)


looking great Joe, awesome paint job!

would luv to see the rig in sunlight, that cowling's gonna be gleaming!

.

Noli we don't need Any sunlight ! Lol !

Water test?
Mph? Ride ?

Took it out for the first time , unfortunately it was dark out already however it worked out great because the ramp empty and it gave me an opportunity to adjust the trailer without being in anybody's way .... The boat is a little dream , I set it up exactly like other 21's that had 85mph success with 250 merc's . However I didn't count one one thing , This boat is five hundred pounds lighter then all the others . Coming in at two thousand pounds fully rigged , you can see how high it sits in the water and my prejack is a little ambitious ... I didn't get a chance to open it up yet , and even though it's bad a$s to shoot a giant rooster tail at 30mph i'm gonna lower the motor down one notch . Gonna drop it and run it again today . rain days make great set up days !

Led lookin good.
What brand?

Well I've handed it over to it's new owner ! Five night time test and tunes and this is it's first daylight run !

A few more !

No #s? :-(

Looks great Joe!

Holy shnike's I want. I want. I WANT!!!!!!!

We'll be happy to build one for you !

Joe
Are you building Superboat cc's out of NC now???? Or rebuilding ones you can find??? I talked to cohen about a new one yesterday. Wasn't super impressed with the options...

I should say;all over the place on pricing and power and rigging options...

We've been buying 21's and rebuilding them . The 21 Super , Challenger , Paramount , Concept , and Olimpia are pretty much all the same boat . All I need is a budget you would like to stay in and I can build a boat to your liking . We can do computer rendering of what the finished boat would look like .
The new boat would be nice but would cost twice as much and I know Coen has at least four boats that he's been trying to finish for more then a year and a half .
So if you do get a new one, don't put more then a third down and get a financial compensation in writing with a guaranteed finish date ... AND BEFORE ANYONE SAYS I'M BASHING SUPERBOAT , This goes for all boat builders including myself !!!!

Interesting...

Nice work.
Is it self bailing since it floats high enough?
