I havent updated this thread in quite some time, but the boat is finished, and is actually for sale, so i can start on my next project. You can view all the photo's here....

Looks Great!

I came down with pneumonia on saturday so there wont be much progress made on the boat for a few days. This stuff is really kicking my butt! Hopefully this strong antibiotic they put me on will knock...

I actually ordered some red caps through pro-dec. Ill post pics as soon as i receive and install them.

Looks good, did you do those yourself? I wish i had a powder gun and oven.

Looking Good!:thumb up2:

You can see the one i did here on post #32 http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=737364&page=2&p=7750520#post7750520
I used Lexan that i got from Home Depot, and then wrapped it in 3M carbon...

This ^ X2. Do one spot, graduating up to 2000 grit, then polish. If it looks good then continue the process on the whole boat.

I cant wait to see how this boat turns out, my hats off to you for undertaking such a major project. I know its a lot of work, but when you can stand back and look at the finished product off all...

The new carpet looks nice!

Thanks for that creative idea, i think i will make one for mine.

That looks like it may have clear coat on it.

Your making a lot of good progress! Are you planning on putting any kind of vinyl graphics on the outside, or are you just leaving it all white?

Cool project, cant wait to see how it turns out!

Thanks CC, and my wife also appreciate's the changes as she also complained on hitting her legs and knees on the passenger console, and she's only 5'7". The days when the lake was rough we would...

Yes, i will be cussing that tape when im trying to clean the paint off the face of the guages. Guess i should of researched the tape a little better.:ohwell:

Update: None of the ideas above would work, just not enough area to work with and if i moved the steering helm flush with the rest of the console , then the hydraulic unit on back would not have...

Great story! You have a knack for writing, i really enjoyed it!

Alan, since i didnt have a spray gun suitable for spraying gelcoat i brushed it on. Each coat overlapping the other a little farther out to blend it in. I used Waxed gelcoat, so you need to sand in...
