Good luck on the flip, I'd drive out to help but, a long ways away I'm sure if murphy showed up on the flip you'd be able to fix her, but keep him at bay.

Hey Bob- the heck with the pics! I hope he had the video rolling!!!

How'd it go arch??? I'm figuring what's taking so long is the video is uploading

I hope all went well and Murphy stayed at bobs for the week!

Hey Mick,
That's not funny. I think Murphy is staying in my guest room, and to think all this time I thought it was the pool boy.
I'll take pic's or video.
What going on arch?

Hey guys, I had to entertain the help after the flip....good news is she is on the trailer looking sexy....no damage! Sorry Mick no video.....someone forgot to charge the camera...sorry! Here a re a couple of pics from the flip. Here is David K sitting on the boat right before we flipped it.

Carpet padding works great for rolling over a boat by the way. Here is the flipping crew trying to look like a captian morgan ad or something.....

I wanted to get more pics of the flip, but we were one person short....and I was the one running the tractor and sweating bullets! Next project I'll set up a web cam...

That thing wouldn't look out of place at a new boat show. Simply WOW! Looks like you got them pretty good but make sure your bunks are set right now that the boat's on. Don't want any stress points.

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore

thanks Ezombee. I plan on checking the bunks again, but they should be right. I adjusted everything before I flipped her for the paint. When I took them off the trailer I put registration marks on the hardware....so it should be right, but I need to check. I'm looking forward to this weekend....wondering which direction I will go first! I'm probably going to start fitting out the hardware and finish up the fenders. I still need to do some sanding on them, and prep the back sides for primer. I also need to measure for the steering cable...doesn't look like the gauges will be here till next week....so the dash layout will have to wait. But its not like I have a shortage of things to do!

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore

I am guessing its just temporary, but thought I would mention that the bow strap goes under the roller.

My wife also doesn't like me reading your thread because she knows our trailer is shot and I need to get going on it before I take it out. Thanks for the encouragement!

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore

yeah I just hooked it on to keep it from flopping around while we moved the trailer. I'm going to put a scuff buster on the bow, that is why it isn't pulled up tight. Good luck on the trailer!

Awesome job dude! It will be a real head turner on the water (although it already is a head turner!)

I am super excited to see some pictures of that thing on the water!

Keep up the AMAZING work!
