Not exactly sure how I got the stripes so far off... the masking tape is compared to the bottom seat cushion.

Great work Cor! Second time is always the charm, frustrating but sometimes that is how it seems to work! By the way that is a really cool blanket, I'm sure Mike would really like one for Christmas..... :)

Sam, exactly.... had to remove and 1" 3/4 (minus seam allowance) from the right side as your facing it. Remade the left side to add 1"1/2, shifting the stripes/center to the right...... Picked up the alignment from the bottom seat cushion that was already in the boat.

Thanks Minch.

Question for you guys... where can I get a reproduced capacity plate/Sticker? Mine is completely faded and unreadable.

I know its a minor thing in the grand scheme, but one of a thousand random things to sort out.

Thanks

Thanks for the lead Arch!

Did some real water trials today.... pretty happy for the most part.

Need to replace the fuel sending unit, wont read over 1/2 tank.

For some reason the trim indicator pegs full down in the water, but functions just fine out of the water.

I think its a bit under propped, as it will rev to at least 5200. I backed it off right away. I dont think it should be hitting over 4800.

After about 30 secs at 4800, it wanted to surge and start bogging down. 4500 rpm, no issues at all..... Rest of the time was spent well under those numbers!!

I will give it a solid tune up and some fuel treatment and see what happens next time.

Here are a couple glory shots....

By the way glad the water test went well!.....forgot to mention that, I am somewhat distracted today lol!


I am wondering if you sending unit on the trim maybe bad or a short in the wire. I am thinking they work on resistance, which might explain why they change in the water, just a guess however.
