This is going to be awesome!

I have such a great hull to work with and I just found out I have approximately 125=lbs per sq inch in each cyliner. Man that is good news!<br />I am so fired up.<br />

Re: This is going to be awesome!

That's a great looking boat. It appears you have a lot more to start with than a lot of the projects up and down here.<br /><br />I like that general style. I'm on my 3rd one now with the 21' Cherokee. <br /><br />The first thing I did was pull out the driver's seat. Sitting in it, I never could see well enough to drive. I'd find myself standing at the helm anytime I was under way. Never using the seat anyway, it sure opend up a lot of space in the cockpit after it was gone.

This is my second but it feels like my first. My first was a 14' runabout and the second I was finished I sold it.<br />This one on the other hand I am in love with. I cant wait till I am out on the lake in the fall when it really starts getting cold and everyone is toughing it out and I have my nice little cabin to get warmed up in.<br />For some reason no one seems to have cuddy's out here on lake winnebago WI. Mostly all open bow and of course fishing boats which are totally open. I love to fish but I still want my cabin.<br />

The 2 common names I've always heard around here was 'cuddy cabin', or 'day cruiser'.

Re: This is going to be awesome!

Anybody have a suggestion about what to do on my trailer. Right now, as you can planely see, I have an unacceptable pair of what appears to be 2x4's with carpet wrapped around them. I am thinking I would like to use some sort of wheel set up. I have never done anything even remotely like this kind of trailer work.<br /> <br />

You can also see I have the black rubber rollers up the center.<br /><br />

As old as it is, switch out the 2 x 4's for 2x6s with new carpet. Bolt or weld on side rails to center the boat as it comes in off the water and onto the trailer.<br /><br />Adjust the rollers to hit and put a slight pressure along the keel.<br /><br />Then,,, move along and fix something else.

wobble roller assy's work well, but are pricey.<br /><br />cheers

Nice boat! Going to make a great project and a real sharp eye catcher when done. I think that style falls more into the "day cruiser" catagory than "cuddy cabin". Cuddy generally don't have much in the way of windows from the cabin. I think you're missing the windshield from the top. Does it have a shadow or mounting holes from where one was?

Nice looking boat. It wasn't a proud moment for me when my son saw your avatar. I expect to see some content unacceptable for children in dockside chat and the like, but not in the restoration posts.<br /><br />Good luck with your project.

It's time to have that talk about how adults don't always exhibit appropriate behavior. The sooner you help him understand that, the less effort you'll spend trying to change everyone around you.

Got more complaints about the avatar, Wildwestten.<br /><br />You must remove it or replace it with a non-hostile avatar if you wish to continue posting here.<br /><br />Thanks for your cooperation.

I have the window but it has a small crack in it. The crack is about 8" long. Can Plexi-glass be repaired or do I need to get another window?<br />Here are a couple pics with some of that additional hardware that I had in the garage.<br /><br />

Censorship would have simply deleted it, Wildwestten.<br /><br />Think of it as local custom or manners.<br /><br />Thanks.
