1988 wellcraft bowrider to cuddy" conversion (Splashed)

Good luck Mick. Been there done that.

yeah i ordered a 15x17 pitch 4blade prop that should push her down the river nice , we shall see this week

 

[mickyryan]

got prop on re adjusted the shifting cables, its still weird, the command to interrupt shifter cable seems to move some after its in forward, causing the neutral safety switch trigger, the binnacle is new the shifter plate is new as well as alll cables so im at a loss on why it does that but i will see on water, i adjusted everything to spec and followed the videos and manual .

 

[mickyryan]

prop worked! 15x17 4 blade prop 20 mph at 3 k rpm i could push it but saw no reason to was thrilled today on the water on the one year anniversary of the first splash

I bet you won't be starting a new rebuild for a long while with how sweet this one turned out for you

 

[Pusher]

Btw, mine tops at 20 and that seems plenty fast to me too. I saw your "scootin" video pull up next. I hope you don't compare to that! Haha.

[chevymaher]

I wanted to see your boat. So I read the first 20 pages of your thread. Wow you did good job. Then the sun started poking out the window. You have successfully restored my motivation for today. Got to go play with mine.

 

[kcassells]

Here ya go Mick! Gotta find 1 though that needs your touch and a lower price. This is cheap for this kinda boat. So CRABS anfd LOBSTERS!
