Hey Arch,
The woodwork and the fenders look great. I may be stealing that red for my boat at a later date.
Right now I'm in Fort Wayne, IN at my sons house, It, one of my grand daughters birthday. That's pretty important too. She is 3.
Anyways great job.
Bob

Arch,
Everything looks awesome. I love the work you've done and your attention to detail. I am just starting my project and love the inspiration you and everyone else here have given me. Have a great Easter and fun with your family!

Arch,
The fenders are looking great. And those seat frames? Are we building hardwood furniture now? great ingenuity and joinery.

When I get to mine, I'm not worried about the woodwork, but the upholstery scares me to death

The boat is looking really good, and nice looking trailer. The paint job on the fenders is pretty awesome looking.

Arch, I am sending my trailer to you this summer. I got the boat almost done but now the trailler really looks like crap in contrast. You are definitely the master when it comes to trailer rebuilding. How long till its all back together?

Ha, hopefully I will spend the summer at the lake! I hope to get her in the water end of May / early June. Getting closer!

that's kinda my time frame too....and it's approaching fast!!!!

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore

Yeah I have a lot to get done! Once I get the top painted I think things will go pretty quickly, it will just be bolting on stuff and hooking things up.

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore

i'm still waiting for a few good days so i can get primer and paint on the hull...
I've taken out some of the interior, but not doing much on the inside until i can set this beast back on it's trailer....feels safer that way

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore

The cradle I built for mine worked great for the interior glass work. The nice thing about it was that it was low to the ground and you could just step in and out of it. Now that its back on the trailer its a little bit of a pain!

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore

after seeing some of the cradles and what not that people have built on here, i was thinking of doing the same...but i had 2 main differences:
1. no garage
2. size/weight of my boat

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore

I got a little bit of work done tonight.......put epoxy on the seat frames and drilled the last two cleat locations and gauges. The only thing left is the is to cut the switches and install the transom drain tubes...then sand it down and paint! Hopefully about this time next week I will be painting the top!

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore

Hey Arch! Looking good man! I have been away a while, I had to go back 3 pages to catch up on your thread I think I got the same gauges as you. I was at the boat place today and I ordered a gas gauge and ammeter gauge rather than using my old one- now I will have the two that are the same style.
I will post everything I ordered today when it all comes in. Gauges, teleflex rack steering, new horn switch, new light switch, new stern and bow lights, new steering wheel, pole holders, 12 volt hook up, ??? can't remember what else
