Glen, you know what you must do ^

Re: 1979 18' v5

This is pretty much the Admirals idea and plan, so I'm pretty sure she is going to PooPoo on the nose first idea.

Wow Glen; That was a super sweet deal for a Tower of power. Bottom feeder approved. I just love mine. Plus a nice trailer and a few other goodies.:loyal:

What a great combo! I can't wait to see this one coming together (well, except that it's bound to make me sick with envy )

Thanks Bill, ya I'm thinking this boat is going to be scary fast. Don't hold your breath waiting for it to get in the shop, it probably won't happen till the winter of 2014/15

I got the doner Silverline glasser stripped this morning after spending yesterday building another out board stand to put the T of P on. I will see if I can post up some pics from my phone as the Admiral left both cameras at the lake. That 140 is pretty intimidating sitting on the stand. It's been raining here all day if it stops I'm hoping to fire up the old Ford tractor tomorrow to start on the landlocked glasser flower bed.

I already feel sorry for the flowers...they're going to be "sick with envy" as well watching all of that sweet tin being pulled past :lol:

ToP is definitely on my bucket list.

Itchy is right, All I cut out of the glasser was the instrument panel so I could keep the wiring intact for reference and a shower won't take the itch off the arms. YUUUK , PHEW.

Before grinding/cutting glass, use a liquid hand soap & rub it onto anything that will be left exposed during grinding: Hands, arms, neck, ears, face... Just gently rub it in sort of like lotion....

:faint2: But yep, Ugh...

'Fills' the pores in your skin, keeps the itch away & helps get the glass dust OFF of ya quicker when you do stop for a rinse down/shower.

Interesting, donor boat, donor trailer, ya get to compost a glasser & it's decorative all at the same time.

... as the Admiral left both cameras at the lake.

Didn't your other thread state she left the cameras at home? hoto::dizzy:

Re: 1979 18' v5

Glen that Tower of "COUGH COUGH" Black power is a great Find... But Man... I cannot believe
you're going to Pollute that Gorgeous Lined V5 with a black Motor...

She would be really Special with a 150 JohnnyRude "FAST STRIKE" View attachment faststrike.bmp... Stainless Prop 19pitch and for good laughs
you might as well mount that on a 15" Set back Jack Plate from Hydro Dynamics..

Do u need me to Find you a RUDE to Keep that Black ANCHOR off that V5?

Thanks for the tip, but I'm hoping to never tough one of them things again.

Oh no not at home, they are still in the fifth wheel at camp, the same place they were when we were at the lake!!!

Hey Robert, I'm not a Mercury fan by any means, but the price was right and it is going on a boat I intend on flipping so it will work just perfect.

Looks good Glen, you should put an acorn in the middle and grow a big oak tree in it.

Hey Robert, thanks for stopping by. The 201 rides real nice and with the sharp bow cuts the waves really well. I don't know about the V5 model but the 201 likes to be lightly loaded in the bow, but a very stable boat.

Thanks Jim, Ya no super powers here used the ole Blue ford tractor.
