New deck is done, boat is back together!
 

I launched her last weekend anf finally finished bolting stuff on and doing wiring this weekend. Still need to tidy up the wiring but everything is operational at this point and the boat runs great. I have a 225 Yamaha 1992 and with my new Lowrance LMF400 and EP-10 I no longer look at fuel flow, just economy. My best economy is about 2.15 average miles/gal at 29MPH at 4100 rpms. Already had it out for a couple of trips in between all the assembly including a few night time missions. I have the dash/lighting set up really well for night ops.

She really look great Jim. I really like that pop up cc door. One of these days I may switch to that set up... I'll be quizing you about it when I do :D How does the door latch in the down position?

Re: New deck is done, boat is back together!
 

I used extra long supports to mount the springs on the door, so when the door closes the springs actually go past the point in which they are all the way compressed and actually start extending again very slightly when the door is all the way closed. So there is essentially 100 lbs of pressure keeping the door closed (maybe?? I'm not an engineer, but it works). If I ever have a problem with the door opening on its own I'll fashion a latch of some sort, but so far it wants to stay closed.

Jim,

Looks great, bet you are very happy to be back on the water!!

One comment though, you need to add some more electronics! :D

Great job on the dash and glove box the wood is beautiful.

Re: New deck is done, boat is back together!
 

Wow, you did a very nice job..One day I will tackle a 23.

Re: New deck is done, boat is back together!
 

I may have missed this but is that a mahogony wood dash? and did you use the original vents on the hull and just paint them? That dash really looks sharp :cool:

Re: New deck is done, boat is back together!
 

Very sharp looking boat - dash included especially with that sweet ass Raymarine display. Which one is it and how do you like it?

Re: New deck is done, boat is back together!
 

The sweet ass display is a Raymarine E120. Got it hooked up to Radar, FF, DVD, and NMEA 2000. I personally think this is the best MFD on the market which is why I picked it.



Nick, I got my electronics at BOE Marine, they have great prices and customer service but the owner is a goofball



:D I haven't had to send anything back yet though.



The wood on the dash is 100 yr old Mahogany. My neighbor had it in his garage from a house he tore down like 10 years ago. If you think this side is pretty you should have seen the other side! I had a big enough oops over there that I had to switch to plan B. There was no plan c so thankfully I got it right the 2nd time.



The wood for the glove box is the original teak that came on the boat.



The hull vents were yeller when I got the boat, the only yellow painting I did was to the outboard because I knew I couldn't match the gray, and to the underside of the t-top. The hull was all done already.



They are the originals, just painted though. Thanks for all the compliments.

Real NICE!!!!!!!!
I love boat porn :o
See ya, Ken

Re: New deck is done, boat is back together!
 

looks great have fun

Re: New deck is done, boat is back together!
 

That is one sweeeet looking ride. I have one question. What are those vents for on the port and starboard bow? Do they really serve a purpose?
Thanks
Alex

Re: New deck is done, boat is back together!
 

Yep awesome job Jim!!!!! A question for you about the mahogany- I have several 6 ft mahog boards anfd was thing of doing something similar on my dash- how did /or did you laminate them together or was it one solid piece ? great job again dude- she looks sweet!!!


Acasey- fthose vents are forced ventilation down the outside pockets ( outboard of the stringers- there have been discussions on their effectiveness on here before. In addition to those i have bilge blowers pulling air inboard of the stringers as well- make sense?

Re: New deck is done, boat is back together!
 

Miles, it is one solid piece. I have always been told yo need to laminate teak if you are going to go the teak route, bt Mahogony is stable enough to be one piece. Plus I epoxied the heck out of it so hopefully it will be ok. Check back in a year :D
