Re: Wellcraft Excel 1992 18sx

When doing the tune up earlier on in the project the side mount control was very tight. So i am thinking of replacing it with Uflex Side Mount Single Lever Control from iboats (Part # B184) but i want to make sure it will swap out pretty easily.

Any thoughts?

Sorry I can't be any helpful about your control Q Justin...but I'm really enjoying your progress

Beautiful job mate!

Your boat is starting to look like a champ

Congrats and I hope you get it running asap.

Cheers!

If you are doing a new controller I would do the cables at the same time, super easy to do and if the controller was stiff the cables can't be far behind on getting sticky, it is like 60 bucks for the pair and it will make the shifting silky smooth.

Sorry I have been slacking on posting.. I have been getting work done.

I installed all of the bow area seating

I got the carpet installed on the hull sides

I got the radio installed. I was going to put it in the glove box but i didnt have the depth and i didnt want to cut out the back of the glove box. It has a detach face for security.

I have the 6 X 9 Speakers installed and wired under the stern area seating

I still have 6 1/2 inch round speakers that i havnt decided where to put them just yet.

Interior Pics on the previous page...

On the advice from superpop and others i ordered the control cables and once they come in i will install them and then get the side pannels installed.

Then the back to back and stern area seating will be installed.

Since you haven't had much work to do on this project, why didn't you rebuild and repaint the motor while she was out? LOL! Just kidding, Justin! Just started following this thread ... you have done an awesome job ... I will be looking for her on Raystown this year!

bear_69cuda thanks for forcing me to post!

PFalcon I got some tool box liner that i am going to play with for the storage compartments.. so keep and eye out.

Today I got the control cables installed and the control wired and installed.
The Control is nice and smooth now! the new cables are pretty nice and thicker then the old ones...

tomorrow i am hoping to get the rest of the interior in.

You're getting very close to the end of a job well done!

I really like how it's coming together.

Re: Wellcraft Excel 1992 18sx

Nico2112.. yeah my goal is memorial day ...

Ok so i got more of the interior installed. I guess you can just see what i got done in the pics..

Here is the new controller.. swapped out perfectly for the old one.

The Stern Seating

Re: Wellcraft Excel 1992 18sx

I have some clean up to do.. there is still a little bit of dust from up under the cap.. The shadows in the pics dont do the new vinyl any justice.. it makes them look dirty.. but they are brand new and clean.

Next step is Back to Back seats and then side storage compartments.

I still have to get the trailer fixed... wash and wax...

getting there though...

Looking Amazing!

Wish I could play camera chase boat when she hits the water!

Memorial Weekend around here is the one time to stay off the lake, or go to one of the "Fishing" lakes. I will go to Lake Lavon, safest of all the options around me and it's 1/2 mile from my door to the launch.

You will love the Tool Drawer Liner/Shelf Liner it makes everything quiet, and easy to clean up, and no moisture!

Keep the pics coming we all feel like we are a part of it!
