This weekend I painted the engine compartment. Before I did that, I did some patch work on the bilge vent plenums. I had to downsize them a little to get two transom rod holders where I wanted them. Having the engine compartment painted opens the door to mounting of through hulls and other stuff that goes back there. It's nice to have it done.
I also installed the bow cleats, midship cleats, and the rub rail and did trial fits on my rod holders and some shiny new stainless bilge vents. Dave |

Oh my....Sweet!

Is the boot stripe painted on or is it tape?
|
Dave you are hauling on that thing! SS insert on the rub rail? You just had to one up me on the seat boxes!!

Thanks, Rod.
Jim, it's painted. Chuck, I haven't figured out what I'm going to do with the insert on the rub rail. It had a red plastic tube in it when I got the boat. Red doesn't go with my color scheme, so I'm not going to re-use it. I don't think stainless will work with this style rub rail. Dave |
Dave, haven't been on in a while but looks great. Any anticipated "splash" date yet?

Dave,
Really looks great. If I remember correctly you are installing a New Mercruiser Sea Core Package.(That is a beautiful package) I am not sure if the mounts and center stringer are the same as the 23, but a friend of mine that just installed the same package in his Sceptre had to make a notch in the center stringer to make room for the oil drain connections (Or for something that was different than the older Mercruiser). You may want to take a close look at the oil pan of the new engine before you try to intsall it and accomodate the changes. I think he had to make a 4" notch. Good Luck, Dan |
The previous owner of my seafari had to do the same thing when he repowered from twins to a single 350.
