Another 25 Seafari goes under the knife

[Blue_Heron]

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

Connor, I haven't quite laid her over far enough to spin out. You can kind of feel it coming and I've been avoiding it. Brandon, The tabs don't curve up in front, but I mounted them so the leading edge is a little higher than the bottom of the hull. Seems to be working, they don't dig in, even in full up position. Minimum planing speed was 13 mph, but thinking back, I was going up river, so actual speed was probably closer to 13 knots. Still, not too bad.


I put in some more work today. Swim platform brackets mounted with 316 Stainless 5/16" through bolts and plenty of 5200:





I drilled and countersunk all the screw holes in the swim platform and put the final coat of 545 on the platform and engine cover:







I hope to get the masking for the non-skid done over the next couple evenings, so I can shoot the Awlgrip and get the parts back on the boat. Next on the list is to install electronics and outrigger bases.

She's coming together.
