Arch,

I managed to finish reading the thread and I must say I am quite impressed. Through out the thread you commented that you hoped that some of the things you did and documented would help someone with their project.
Well I can tell you that you have! I have found answers and confidence for my project in several things you did. particularly the seats, wiring, and the paint job.

Thank you so much!

Thanks I'm glad I could help! I did sell the sea ray tonight...so I'm going to poke around and start looking for a sleek....but I'm in no hurry so when the planets align I guess I will start another restore! I still have plenty to do on Miss Morgan!

Had to do a little catching up on your thread. Glad you're getting the bugs worked out. I looked for you and Miss Morgan Sunday, but didn't see ya. We were over at Brooken Cove where it was smooth water. As nice as Miss Morgan is, maybe you shoulda traded for the Carver, just sayin. Lookin forward to some action shots from another boat. When I splash mine (very soon) we could just take pics of each other's boats and maybe even a side-by-side shot of two completed iboats projects. Catch ya later.

Thanks for the link Mick....but you almost need another project too! Bad news it was raining when I left for Tenkiller, so Miss Morgan stayed home. It rained all day yesterday...so we sat on David K's dock and enjoyed beverages...finally it lighted up to a sprinkle about 4:30....so we took David K's Four Winds Unlimited out for a quick spin (about 67 mph)...but it started raining again so we headed back to the dock. Later that evening we had a party on the dock for David's birthday....lets just say it was an interesting evening! We'll there is away next weekend, hopefully we can meet up BBO.

LOL. No more projects for me for a LOOOONG time! The wife would definitely divorce me!!! She has had it up to and beyond her head with how much time I'm spending in the garage every night Hell- I was out there tonight just cleaning up, and building some shelves until 1am.

Sorry to hear the weather didn't cooperate this weekend. It still sounds like you had a decent 4th of July weekend though.

We'll I'm heading to the lake tomorrow....we'll see if the weather holds. Hopefully I will get some shots of her...I'm getting tired of this rain here.....its usually bone dry this time of the year here!

Good ol' Oklahoma weather, it's either drought or flooding. Don't know if we will ever be able to use our usual beach at Eufaula this year.

Arch- you could send some of your wet weather our way!!! It's been HOT and DRY the last 3 weeks here!!!

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

Well the weekend started off wet...rain on Friday....Saturday I got Miss Morgan in the water...great day on the lake, went looking for BBO, but he didn't get her finished up..so I went to the island and hung out at the cut, very nice scenery! I took some video but it didn't come out worth a filp...I was planning on heading back out today, but my Grandmother was rushed to the ER, so I headed back and cut my 3 day week short. Hope all of you had a great weekend....one of these days I promise better video!

I took these at 40 while driving...yeah probably not the best idea!
