Sig that gauge setup is really looking nice. I'm wanting to do something similar to that to our SS. What gauge set is that, and does it include a tach for your outboard?

I have tach speedometer fuel volt and trim.
The gauges are the dress white from Faria.

I got a score on ebay for them but the set usually runs about 175

Not sure what the weather's like in Knoxville this morning, but it may take Sig a bit to complete the mission and have the new to him rig anywhere near the boat hanger. Esp if it's 20F & snowing like it is here.....

Keep the mob on alert but in standby mode, probably best to give them some additional ale & grub, just in case it's an all day affair.

Jas: Got fresh brownies & hot cocoa?

And I thought that was a lightning storm to the north of here.

BE it known to the MOB I am in compliance with all mob rules by posting pics of said acquired boat within 24 hrs.


Here is the cause of the delay


Old Fiberglass







The Johnny Rude is going to get a paint job,

I really took a gamble on the Johnson, as when I ran compression it was consistently low. 95PSI across all three but it was bone dry and the block temp was about 20 degrees.


Ironically enough I bought it because I wanted the trailer for the starcraft because it is a bunk trailer with steps, and by Wednesday two new hubs. Got one of the hubs replaced and the flipping hub was bigger than the hole on the rim.


We will just say the whole set up after new hubs and bearings and such will be right at $300

Oops got the PM 1st, ignore the question. :facepalm:

Looks like some stuff to be salvaged off the donor, just in case parts & pieces....

Well I actually thought that I could reuse all of the doors and hatches, I want to build them into the side pieces on the Starcraft.

I want the bunk trailer.

The seats are going to be cleaned with Simple Green and will be reused on the flip Starcraft (Not Yet Acquired).

I am going to properly disassemble all of the wiring and gauges and save them for an actual flip boat, I am going to save the windshield if it is better than mine on the SS then it may end up on the SS.

Trim and rubrail will be posted on EBAY dirt chip.

Bow cleats, lights and all can be saved. It doesn't sound like much since I have been rehabbing the Starcraft I've realized how much that little stuff adds up.



The Johnnyrude is going to be painted to match, and will be up and running barring a full rebuild keeping my fingers crossed, will go on a flip boat as well.

The hull and the recently partway rehabbed trailer are going to end up on CL for $150.00
