Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore- SPLASHED!!

Here is the first video, I have a lot of other stuff.....needs a lot of editing. This is from the dock next to the ramp. I was pretty ginger with her in this, trying to figure out if she was going to do anything funky or if Max was going to break the transom off lol! At no extra charge you get to hear David K and B-nard's rambling commentary! For those of you who have been following my thread, the comment about putting a boat in in November is when David K put in Maxine the Water Queen for the first time...I have a pic of her posted on January 1 of this year. Here you go, I'll work on editing more.

She looked really nice on the water Arch. The motor just towers over her, and from a distance the motor looks like it's eating her alive. Very nice video though, and congratz on being able to put her into the water.

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore- SPLASHED!!

I already did....nothing like being behind that wheel with a hand on Max's throttle! Now back to finishing!

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore- SPLASHED!!

now let's take a step back and ask ourselves the cosmic question.....

are we every REALLY 'done'

 

[archbuilder]

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore- SPLASHED!!

No, but I want to be "done for the summer"......then next winter I can start the "Miss Morgan upgrades thread".

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore- SPLASHED!!

i know what you mean...been thinking of putting some of my upgrades on teh backburner, so i can spend time using the boat this summer, since my progress is always hindered by the weather

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore- SPLASHED!!

Congrats, arch - looks and sounds terrific!

BTW - what's that red thing on the back of Max's cowling? Looks like a sticker or something.

Lookin great arch! She has really transformed!

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore- SPLASHED!!

Looking good man!

That is one slick looking piece of work. Max may tower over her, but I think the proportions are perfect. What an awesome ride. Great video too.

Yeah, I was wondering about that sticker, too. Is that a permanent thing or what?
I only saw some of the video but it sounded great and looked smooth on the water as well.
Can't wait to see some closeups and interior shots.
Later,
JBJ

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore- SPLASHED!!

Thanks guys, she is fun to drive that is for sure! The sticker on Max is to prove I paid my taxes to the state......love how you have to slap it up there! I got the ski pylon today.....wrong one but they are shipping me a new one and sending me a ups thing to send the other one back. I'm thinking I will make a template of the base plate while I have this one. I would really like to hit my lake place next weekend and just hang out!

I think I figured out places for the radio....radio remote, and xm receiver tonight. I'm thinking of tucking the radio in behind Max's throttle / controls. I don't really plan to use it much, most of the radio operations I'm going to do through the remote. I'm building a bracket so it sits right under the spedo / tach. The xm reciver will go to the right of the steering under the gunnel.

The trim sender is fried, so I'm going to order a new one....waiting on the cylinder head sensor.......

I also bought a 12 gallon fuel tank that is going some where. Jury is out on that, but I'm buying it.....putting it on a long line....and moving it around till its in the right spot....in the bow or in the back.

Hope everyone is having a great long weekend!
