Just got back. Miss mogan rocks and is very popular on the beach! I had a flat on the way back....love changing tires on the highway! I'll post pictures later, I'm still having voltage issues with max.

Big Pete, you can do it too....its just one step at a time, and sometimes a couple steps backwards!

The weekend was good, but I didn't get to spend as much time as I wanted out on Miss Morgan. My dad came down...we had some neighborhood "politics" that came up last weekend....so he wanted to see what was going on. On Saturday morning, he got up at O-five-thirty.....stomped around a while....when I got up at 7 (I turned in about 12 the night before after a few beverages....) he had a list of things that need "fixed".....so it was about 3 by the time I got to go play! Naturally BBO there were no parking spots at the cut by then, so I got to park on the "married" side of the island. There were some hotties, just all attached to large guys, lol! Oh well we still have all summer! I didn't get any "action shots" just a few stills. And Vegas I had that damn gypsy queen song stuck in my head all weekend, lol!

So I have a lot to fix / change. First thing is getting Max squared away on the voltage issue. I'm heading over to the boat place in the am. The xm antenna needs moved....kept losing the signal when I put my hand on the throttle....I also need to finish up the ski pylon and the built in tank....and the back speakers....and a bunch of other details! I have a feeling it will take all summer to get her "done". What do you guys think about the "sleek" graphics? We worked that up based on Vegas's pics and some font info he sent me. Thanks Vegas!

I guess we won't be able to hang out any this summer if Mrsboatinokie and I are supposed to stay on the married side of the island. I didn't know the rules. I guess we'll just holler across from the boring side :D Miss Morgan does look pretty sweet in the water. Glad yall had a good weekend.

She looks great in the water arch! I really like the sleek graphics- it looks sharp!

Sounds like you'll be hitting the weight room to so you can stand up to those big guys:eek:

Boat looks great, man. Very cool looking ride. Now that I see it in the water, if it were me, the tank would go in the bow for sure. I'm just sayin'. And maybe even the battery as well. Very sleek looking boat.

BBO I guess its more like the family side....not quite as wild....but I think I can get you a pass to come over to the wild side! :cool:

Thanks for all the great comments guys. I'll be tinkering with the ski pylon tomorrow night, David K is coming over to help brain storm on mounting it to the transom.

Tallcanadian, she actually had the battery 12 gallons of fuel and an ice chest in the back for that shot. She handles really well set up that way...and to be honest moving the fuel tanks didn't change the freeboard much. Once you have a person or two up front, she sits a lot flatter in the water.

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

Wow, I've been waiting on a pic of it "completed" in the water. It's a really sharp boat and the color is just perfect in that light. I just wanted to add that after all that steering wheel whining:p I read earlier, I think that the steering wheel looks rather nice on it and fits the boat well. Not that another wheel wouldn't look good too, but the one on the boat looks good to me.
I could stand a few more pics, large ones, of the interior and action photos. Preferably some nice bikini models with the boat.:)
Good work,
JBJ

I cant find where you said how much voltage Max is puting out, but I think you said 16 volts. If thats the case you do need a regulator. besides boiling your battery, your stereo wont take it for verry long either. If you cant find one thats meant for the job, an old seventies Ford reg should do fine.

Max is heading back to the mechanic I bought him from next week for a "checkup". He's going to take care of the voltage issue and tweek the carbs a bit. I'll work on getting some more pics posted, I haven't had any time to spend on her this week.
