Re: 79 SS18 Project
thanks GA B.............
lots of stuff to still do
the changes were designed to accomodate cast and troll fishing as well as water skiing
to do that, I built that back deck and walled off the old curtain area.....
the deck was built aft to serve several purposes, as a platform for casting, and an area for homemade seating(describe in a bit), and for storage and clean lines.
the back wall has removeable panels with vents for access to the trim motor and perm gas tank, and the entire back wall and deck can be removed if needed, and it also has 6 rod holders while moving, and the back bar will house 6 Scotti holders for trolling.................
the back deck has 3 storage areas with homemade lids, and have industrial Velco for removeable seating and back rests................
the helm and front passenger seating is fixed and in compliance, and I have 4 floor bases, 2 aft, one aft deck, one bow deck for pin seating..............under throttle, nobody will use the pin seating in the cockpit area(5 mph limit)..........these 2 seats are for casting only, hence the removeable seating concept, which are butt cushions and backrests homemade and Velcro when skiing, same in the bow area.........
as far as RED, all the red is gone..................the interior was RED, the topside was RED, the consoles were RED.....................not anymore!
topside gunwales were sanded, primed and finished thanks to RUSTO
the exterior consoles were clad on the sides in GLUVIT drenched luan, primed, then finished with marine vinyl from Jo's in royal blue, in and out, then trimmed...............everything else was stripped and carpeted, and I made the shelves under the consoled homemade................
pics to be added..................
