Thought I share my repower of my 89 Pursuit 2700 open. After 28 years she is starting to show her age. The hull is still good shape and the interior was redone when we bought it 4 years ago. I had been having minor mechanical issues one after another over the last year and was spending more weekends working on the boat than fishing.
So after talking with the admiral and discussing options, whether to buy another boat or repower and refresh the Allison-Belle. We decided to bring her back to her former glory.
Here's the to do list:
1.New motors
2. Rebuild or replace Velvet drive 1:5 to 1 transmissions.
3.Replace all above water line thru hulls to stainless steel and install shut offs.
4. Check all below bronze thru hulls repair or replace if needed.
5. New hoses
6. New wire harness for engines
7. New gauges
8. Bottom Paint boat is wet slipped all year.
9. Build hard top
10. Re-core rear deck hatch
11. Add Auto pilot if budget allows.
