Re: Jetstar
Okay so in order to clean this post up and let others know what kind of help I need I decided to make a list of the condition of the boat.
Condition:
Needs to be repainted
Needs a whole new floor
Needs a new steering system
Needs new wiring
Needs a new electric start system
Need to replace the windshield
Need to put in new seats
There appears to be a breaker looking type box attached to the transom tray that may need some work
This probably sounds easy to everyone else here but I have stepped into a new world here as the only thing I have ever built is a tree stand.
Condition sounds very similar to mine, needs paint, floor, steering, wiring, windshield, seats on and on. I have everything stripped out and bought new 4 seats real cheap on ebay. I applied Gluvit to the seams & rivets inside and also invested in a newer 2003 motor and controls, and still need some wiring harnesses. I'm planning to try to make a new windshield using a "how-to" thread on here (by Mark42, I think). I spent time today researching paint and painting and decided to go all red with a gray interior. I've also bought a steering wheel and a rack steering setup. I'm still going back and forth about what I'm going to do with the transom, it's a short transom with a long shaft motor.
Too bad I have to work outside. So it's buttoned for winter, all I can do until spring is plan, dream and research.
Good luck, I'm sure I can get some ideas as you go along and if I can help out I will.
