    1991 Cheetah 350 XLS

    It has been a productive couple of months. I dug the boat out of the garage, hooked up the hose, and fired her up. Click, then, nothing. Well, thats not good. I have read enough on this forums to know that the answer of what to check is in the stickies. I check the slave solenoid, it is not...

    1991 Cheetah 350 XLS

    Time for an actual question, but I'm pretty sure I already know the answer. I was going to relpace the steering cable this afternoon and ran into a problem before I even got started. I pulled the cable out of the box, and the outer sheath is cracked. I assume this needs to be sent back? I plan...

    1991 Cheetah 350 XLS

    A little progress since the last update. Unfortunately, our water heater went out a couple weekends ago. About $500 for a new one definitely didn't help with the boat budget. But, the new heater is in, and the admiral is no longer restricted to 2 minute hot showers. While looking at the rear...

    1991 Cheetah 350 XLS

    Thanks Chevymaher. It definitley feels good to actually see what I have been visualizing in my head for the past 6 months. The seat back brackets have been ordered. Hopefully it will be here within a week so I can see how I need to modify the seat to make it work. I also need to start...

    1991 Cheetah 350 XLS

    Another section of seating is "done". Nothing has been set in place yet. Next up is to work on the side panels. This will form part of the backrest for the lounge seat. The forward square area will hopefully have a reversable backrest to allow that entire side to be used as a lounge. I still...

    1991 Cheetah 350 XLS

    Thanks to everyone who is tagging along. Another big day this afternoon. The first bench seat section has been fabricated! There will be a lot more room for storage this time. The old bench has zero storage space. Here it is in its new home. The plan is to place it on hinges to allow this...

    1991 Cheetah 350 XLS

    Had an hour and a half to work this evening. Deconstructed part of the old bench to get a template for the angle of the seat backs. I then traced the outline on cardboard and cut it out. That was transfered to some scrap plywood to create a mock seat that I could easily modify. This went in the...

    1991 Cheetah 350 XLS

    So, its been a while since my last update. We have not given up yet! Just had some personal stuff come up that I haven’t had a change to write an update. My wife had emergency surgery to get an ovarian cyst removed. A 10 cm cyst was pulled out of a 2 cm hole. So that was fun… Did I mention we...

    I spent the morning in the garage grinding on fiberglass. Around 11, I get cleaned up and meet the wife for lunch. She had to work today. Thanks healthcare! I come home and start the real honey-do list and notice it has started snowing! Guess we will have a white christmas after all! A little...

    1991 Cheetah 350 XLS

    Thanks for the confirmation, WoG. We worked on lots of grinding this week. I decided to try and figure out what was the best grinding wheel for the 4.5 in grinder. Started out with a couple Harbor Freight flap wheels ($4). The did the job okay. Started out grinding pretty good, but dulled...

    1991 Cheetah 350 XLS

    I bought this boat earlier this summer to cruise around the lake on the weekends with the wife. It is a 19 foot bowrider (according to the registration and a tape measure). The HIN indicates a 1991. I tried looking this boat up on NADA, but the 350 XLS was not an option for 1991, but it was...
