Congratulations.

Can you spray water on those speakers? I see lots of fish blood and guts getting on them when you wash down the deck. Hopefully they are easy to clean :)

strick

JL speakers are water proof. I have them in my SeaVee too and they sound great.

I see lots of fish blood and guts getting on those speakers as well!!!

Are those drink holders in the dash angled ? If they are where did you get those .....

Your rig is SWEET

magnet
how much did you raise the floor? Its gonna be beautiful.

The drink holders in the dash are not angled-why would you want angled drink holders?

I didnt rasie the floor at all. With the positive floatation bracket and the scuppers out back we are seeing almost no water in the cockpit even when three large men stand together in the corner. (I wanted to see if we would take on water while bringing a large swordfish over the side. ) We did glass in the fuel tank (after moving it slightly forward) and then glassed in the floor, console and seat live well combo so there are no screws or 5200 to loosen.

My Mistake I thought they were on the angled part of the dash but looking further they're not ... Mine is angled so I was being wihsful

magnet good to know , my floor is stock and i am gonna run the drains through the back this winter , hopefully my four stroke on floatation bracket will be that dry. did you cover the drains on transom?

We put 2 1/4 inch thru transom scuppers with flapper valves. So far they are working great! We had the boat rolled to port with the scupper 4 inches under water and no water came in the boat.

Thanks magnet, go get that beautiful boat bloody, let me know how the anchor storage works out to , i am gonna copy you on that this winter also.

GR- I put 600 feet of 3/8 rope and a chain and anchor in that anchor compartment. We put a vertical receiver in the anchor locker for the anchor shank and the rope goes in around it with the anchor hanging by its arms. Its full but it works

what size speakers are those in the stern where your access was?

JL 7.7 inch speakers. got another pair and a pair of subwoofers in the console. the boat rocks!

One thing I learned from this remodel-Dont put speakers near your compass. I was always showing a westerly heading until I moved the two upper speakers and put in magnetic shielding for the two lower sub woofers.

She looks awesome. Going to do our 23 after we finish the 19.
Have any pics of the scuppers with the boat just sitting in the water?
We are planning raising the floor about 4" and making it a level deck all the way forward.

Switch panel
 

Were did you get your switch panel? Was it made to order(custom) what kind of cost as that is just what i am looking for thanks!! By the way great looking ride conts!!!on a job well done

Prospect Plastics in Fort Lauderdale did the dash and the switch panel out of carbon fiber and they were totally custom as far as color size and number of switches. we bought the switches and wired it. Both panels were surprising reasonable.

Thanks for the kind words. I am loving this little boat!

Now would sell the boat? I am looking for one that has been redone!

Nice Boat!!
 

Would you recommend Charlie??

I have a 39 Sea Vee and this boat and Im sure that I will have this boat long after the Sea Vee has been put to pasture. Many have inquired about buying it but I dont see it happening, There is a special feeling when you take an old classic and remodel it and make it your own.

Beautiful sled nice work!

Beautiful boat. Very nice. I may have missed it somewhere along the line, but what are the two holes in the floor right in front of the console?

Leaning Post/Baitwell
 

Great looking boat. Thanks for posting the transformation!

Do you mind sharing who makes your leaning post/baitwell?

Thanks in advance.

Just sent a pm but wanted to follow up regarding the baitwell/leaning post. Do you mind sharing the make/model? I'm in the middle of a restoration on my 23 and your leaning post is just what Im after.

Thanks in advance for any intel

Best RC

Very nice!

They are quick disconnect fittings for a second removable livewell

sent you a detailed PM

Thanks for all the kind words guys. It is really a sweet little boat and its nice to see that all the hard work and thought that went into it paid off

Blood on the boat
 

got out on Saturday and did some deep dropping. Found some fat black bellied rose perch which are going to be tasty tonight!

Stephen, we put flap scuppers over the tube holes and they work very well

Thanks for the info !!

Getting her bloody
 

Caught this bull dolphin and two smaller cows yesterday while trying to put a swordfish in the boat

Very nice!!!

Man I had not seen it completed. Very sweet!!

did you do a thru hull ducer?

yes I put in a 1000 watt 50/200 thru hull for my Garmin

Just went through this build again. Amazing work. Would you by any chance have pics of the forward live well attached and what connections you used. I'm thinking of having the same option in my build.
