Tri-Hull Club...Yes? No? Maybe?

Re: Tri-Hull Club...Yes? No? Maybe?

I have to rescind my membership in the Tri hull Club. My Hurricane project is going, going,

gone.

I have become a Tinny.

The good news is the lucky buyer should soon be in the ranks here at iboats.

Whew, another complete convert to the non itchy light side of the Force Seriously, glassers sure cause one to itch when they are being cut up!

Got my stickers today. Thanks again, they are awesome.

I'm very curious how you put the fuel tank under the floor. My floor is stable so I haven't messed with it. Is there a standard floor pattern? I'd really like to extend the range of my boat.

while I was replacing the floor, I cut out the ski storage and inner 2 stringer, then reenforced the outer stringers and added 2 more bulkheads as well as fiberglassing plywood to the inner bottom or the hull for extra support

Would this count? There is one close to me that I'll pick up if the price is right. It needs a LOT of work though. This isn't the one I'm looking at, just an example

I guess it would mean that I qualify.

Tallcanadian, I am green with envy of your front toneau cover. That's made very nicely.

It is nice. So is the rest of the top. I was very lucky to get it this nice. It's aged but still in very good condition. I've never had one before and I'm thankful I have it now.

I used to have full running canvas for my Royal American, and when weather hit it was wonderful to have. We could keep cozy in some fairly inclement stuff.

My new(er) boat didn't come with the canvas. We wouldn't use it much (the Admiral doesn't do foul weather), but it'd be nice to have in my back pocket.

I'd like to join. I just picked up this 1972 Marlin Jupiter... my first boat!

Sweet looking boat. Such a long nose on it.

Quick update: The two important repairs my boat needed was a new throttle cable (it was severed near the control unit) and the temp gauge repaired. My mechanic found the cable ($67), and the temp sensor unit ($140). I should have her back late this week. Then I'll post more pics and perhaps my own restore thread (?). -Paul

Hi Guys, I couldn't find the place to start a new thread so I'm starting now. I'm looking at a Tri hull boat that is in the mid to late '70,s but it doesn't have T or T on it. The marine shop in town says he could get me a used one, what would be the best and $ wise way to go. Thanks for your help, Al

Is T and T trim and tilt? Depending on the motor you can get a used one or you can look at getting a CMC power trim unit for around 600 dollars. Then you can put any motor you want on it.

Here's my trihull. Pondering on doing a full restore, what do you guys think?

From the back

Inside (needs a cleanup, I got stuck in mud at some point).

Interior doesn't look too bad - I wonder if you could do a bunch of clean up, and buff/wet sand the hull?

Nice boat and would be a good project. Interesting.
