Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore
It was a good day...found out I get a tax return....obviously someone in the government didn't do their job if I'm getting something back
! I also picked up the tower on a fairly warm, sunny afternoon....runs like a champ!
After getting it home and safely tucked away in my garage I took a closer look at it. There is one wire that needs replaced, for some reason the insulation on it deteriorated....not a big deal. There is also a small "tab" broken off of the retainer that holds the throttle and shifter cable in place. I'm guessing I can round one up on ebay. There is a little bit of "grinding" on the bottom of the skeg, but no chips or missing pieces, not bad for 23 years old. Actually the entire motor is really clean. It has some wear on it, but looks well taken care of and probably has pretty low hours. Compression was almost perfect on it.
After that I went down to the shop and did some cleaning...made a list / organized to finish up a few things on the boat and build the paint booth. I need to do a little glass work on the seacast transom patch....already itching! Also I need to drill the keel & splash well drain holes. After that I'm going to push it outside and clean / build the paint booth. I also played with the stripes tonight, what do you think about this?
A 2" strip from the bow to the point where it drops down on the sides, then as it rounds the corner it covers the entire transom. That would be silver, and the rest would be red.
Where are you headed Bob?
