I'm having trouble finding two extra long stainless thru hull fittings in 1 1/8". The standard length from attwood is to short for my transom and I just bought some off Amazon that have a 1 1/8" barb but the thread is 1 1/2". I don't want to cut a hole that big in the transom if I don't have to. I can find the right length in plastic but I prefer stainless. Can someone recommend a shop or website where I can order these.

I finally finished. I took her out for a test ride on Sunday.http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...17_181720.jpeg[URL=http://s1140.photobucket.com/user/bibijawa/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160417_174502.jpg.html]http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...417_174502.jpg[/URLhttp://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...414_071538.jpg]http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...17_181541.jpeg

Very nice! Will you be adding a sunblock dispenser? :) I say that as my wife chases me around the boat with sunblock and she is requesting a remote mounted bottle and dash dispenser..... I am resisting but resistance may be futile.

Very nice looking ride!
I found some Perko extra long thru-hulls on Jamestown. I don't knw if they are available in 1 1/8", it may be 1" max. You could call them.

I was able to find extra long 1 1/8" fittings that o finally installed.

Who did the painting for you? And what did it run you?

A local painter and glass guy. He works out of a marina on the miami river. Lazaro Quinones. I got several quotes and he was the most reasonable. He did some minor glassing, filling and fairing and the paint. He did a great job and was on time.

Looks like all that work paid off. Enjoy your sweet ride!

where will you have the bilge access? my 86 has it in the splash well and i have never liked that setup.
