Hello again, I got a few things done....JUST KIDDING!!! I got a whole lot done over the last 2 weeks! Many late nights, sweat, and a few smiles, and I'm ready for a SPLASH!!! That's right I said SPLASH!
Check out the progress!
Motor is back on and sitting pretty with a fresh new solid transom!
Speaking of transom, turned out really good, IMHO! Sealed up and fresh coat of paint...of course self etching primer was used...
Right side now.....transducer installed, speedo cable re-installed....
Looking forward...plenty of space on rear casting deck! All new carpet, wood, and SS fasteners
.
Storage below rear casting deck. Dual batteries, and gas tank. Fresh air comes into this compartment freely under the main seats so no need to add additional venting.
Another view from the right side....
Main flooring complete now, and console set in place and secured:joyous: You can see my voltmeter and tools used to clean up/replace all electrical connections at the fuse block (under the console)....forgot to pick those up before taking pics....got too excited
Now front casting deck, trolling motor re-installed (its older, but still works like a champ!). I moved the front light to a central place so that it can be used when the trolling motor is in it's storage location. Scratching head why PO had it mounted like he did....much better now!
Hooked up the hose last night, and entertained the neighborhood with the sounds of Evinrude in da moonlight! Motor was running high, but after a few tweaks it was running sweet again, like I remembered! I plan to make final adjustments next week when I splash! I didn't take a video of it but let's say smiles were on my kids faces, and even a few high fives could be seen!
It feels really good to be at this point in my project!!!
This fall/winter I plan to attack the exterior of the boat with something, oh and I plan to address the trailer as well, so I will be back!
I will follow up with splash pics and share the adventures that my boys and I see next week when we are on family vacation.
