Re: URGENT New Improvements are coming to this section READ

Now there's a switch OB to I/O conversion!!!!!

Exactly while I did it and it was cheaper then buying a a 140hp 4-stroke. I have about grand into the motor/outdrive and the building of the 3rd pontoon for it to sit in. Granted I have about 60hr of TIG welding but my labor is free. :)

This was my fathers boat that sat for many years after he passed .. 1964 MFG Edinboro Custom

The inside . Notice a lack of everything ..

And the after ...

My first ever go at building and sewing seats. I tried to match the original concept ..

1985 Sea Ray Seville, This will be my first boat resto. Doesn't need much but a few things, I will most likely start over the winter and will edit with completed pics. I plan on starting a thread when I start the project so that I can get advice, tips and tricks.

I tore into it today to rebuild the ski locker and the wood is solid just discolored, the only wood that was rotted was the frame job a PO did to make it a solid floor. All the black on the hull was just dirt and leaves. The rear board that covers the trim pump is completely rotted and will started tomorrow. Then I have a panel on the left rear jump seat that's rotted and will be completed tomorrow too if all goes as planned.

Re: URGENT New Improvements are coming to this section READ

Guys, this is the BEFORE & AFTER pix of projects thread........

If you'll add a link to your projects to your signature line, you can comment & discuss your ongoing projects in your project threads, once you start the threads anyway.

You could also use the PM system by left clicking a user's name & selecting Private Message. Also in the left mouse click drop down menu is View Forum Posts that will provide a list of the poster's other thread posts and that would likely get you to their resto threads, or choose View Profile which lists a user's recently started threads.

If Iboats moves forward w/ the proposed new section, your follow up posts & mine will likely be deleted as not relevant to Before & After projects.

Good luck w/ both of your projects, and when you get them back in the water, come back & edit your initial posts w/ Before pix and add the Afters.....
