We had some lookers for sure ! Some guys look at them and it reminds them of where they started and it usually sparks up a good conversation that usually ends with them saying how much fun they had...

We finished it in August and went directly to an event over on the St. John’s River. Unfortunately my brother had to stay home due to Covid quarantining ☹️ But we still had fun. Then in September...
I love the look of the boat with the stainless handrails removed
Transom pic
I just realized that I never finished this thread although the boat was finished in August, I apologize for this.
A quick recap of what was done
Fuel tank replaced
Transom replaced...
It was a Rev4 but it was a 23P the 25P is on your new boat. That little Stroker motor was HOT and it would turn that 23p to 5K easily and put it on the limiter in a little chop. I tried a few...
Rigging grommets
I think they are made by TH Marine but I’m not sure. We use them all the time when doing rigging jobs. I keep them in stock so I’ll post a pic of them tomorrow with the part number.
Thanks I like the smooth finish a lot. That engine compartment originally had carpet on the floors and inside of the hull. It was so nasty I couldn’t wait to get rid of it.
We moved the battery...
Engine in
Finally made some progress rigging the boat.
How about trimming the drive neutral and getting a measurement on the propshaft depth. Measure from the bottom of the boat to the centerline of the propshaft. You can use a straight edge next to the...
If the boat wasn’t originally setup for an ITS your going to want to go ahead and order a -2 lower when you order the new ITS assembly. The transom is cut a little on the deep side on a production...

I know where your at. I’ve been trying to get my life project free for the last 12 years and if I don’t buy anything else it looks like I have 2 more years to go. It doesn’t help that my...
We had to get over that a long time ago 😎 But it still takes us forever to install hardware on a blank boat measure 10 times, stand back, look at it from every angle possible then cut/drill

Now it was time to clean her up and get her over to Chris at Brand’s Marine for some fairing and paint work
I hated the carpeted engine room since the day I bought this boat so I sanded the engine room cleaning up all of the edges of the glass. Used a little putty in a few spots to smooth some things out. ...
So as I had mentioned in one of my earlier post’s someone had cut the rear skin of the transom off at one point and replaced the transom backwards. I had some really fine cracks on the exterior of...
After awhile we just let it do what it was going to do. I figured out how to stow the normal stuff that was always in the boat with bungee cords but when we went on overnight trips our bags would end...

Now I mocked up the tabs, built the engine room floors (3/4 Carboncore), removed the stainless handrails and glassed the holes , fixed some stress cracks on the top cap, glasses the floors down and...
