Re: My first
Hey guys, its been a little while since i have updated you on my progress. Well progress has been slow, mainly due to the weather and the fact that it has been shrunk rapped. I got the windows from Wynne and installed them. They went in very easy, and from what i can tell being inside a shrunk wrapped boat they look good. It will be like unwrapping a late xmas present when the shrink wrap comes off in the spring. Also the electronics, throttle and everything else that makes it go will hopefully start goiing in later this month. I spoke with the guys who will be doing all of that and he said there would be no problem in having the console tilt forward. We sat on the boat and went through what i wanted and he said 2-4 days for completion. Maybe with my tax refund i can get some other toys for her. Well thats it for now. Happy New Year.

Re: My first
It wasent too long. They say 3 to 4 weeks. Mine arrived in just over 3 weeks. They were also cheaper than i had expected. Very easy to put in. Seems to be a very good product.

I used 3M 101 to install mine. I also coated all the stainless screws with Teff Gel.

Re: My first
Well, just another update: The boat is now uncovered and back inside where the electrical work will be done. The following pictures are kind of blurry for some reason. sorry. But how do you guys think the tanks look, are they original. I have read a bunch about not foaming around the tanks after they have been replaced. I guess someday they along with the foam will come out.
 This is how the engine compartment looks now with all the old un-organized wires everywhere. She will be much cleaner later this week(i hope)  And here she is with the doghouse tilted for easy access. I wanted a few shots of the console upright with the windows in, but that will have to wait.

Re: My first

Re: My first
Chance
The only thing about tanks is that you cant see where there might be trouble Was the foam damp?? The top looks fine but there might be corrosion where you cant see it. down along the sides and the bottom. Places that if wet never dry out. The other thing ... How hard is it to get to your tanks once the boat is back together ?? It would be a pain in the a$$ to rip her apart again cause a tank is leaking and it needs to be replaced.

Re: My first
thanx for putting that picture of your tanks up chance. i have never had that part of my deck up- Im also curious if anyone knows if that muffler can go bad ?? I have heard from a couple of folks that it wont- but Im not convinced- iwhen i do pull my deck piece i will replace the tanks for sure- i think i will do some rudder work this spring as well- got some play in mine- that pilothouse looks awesome- you ought to put you one of those heaters that run off your freshwater cooling also- love mine- keeps the boys warm when im running even without curtains-lol- keep the pix and updates coming!!! craig [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
