Over the winter I plan to do new upholstery but same exact lay out and design. Color sand and buff the hull as well as address the complete trailer. I’ll post progression pics as well.
I have owned multiple jets before as well as larger V’s and a deck boat. Looking forward to spending time with my wife and young kids on the river.

Has anyone seen a Harman Marine Electra-Trim? It’s basically a window motor hooked up to cable that operates the diverter. Wonder if it can be rebuilt my uncle said it stopped working years ago.
Also found some old soda cans in the seat storage

Since the engine has a billet velasco crank in it. I took it in and they magged and polished it for free.
Dropped the block off at Clay Smith to have it honed and tanked.
I found a small crack on one of the heads in between the valves. Which I have heard is fairly common on these 990 heads. So I think I am going to pull the trigger on a set of complete World Products heads.
Everything looked great besides the head. And should run pretty strong.
I took the bimini to All American Canvas in Ontario. It needed all new straps. They charge $15 per strap and that is with all new stainless hardware. And the cover also needed a new zipper.

I am focusing on re doing the original interior. The wood is in really good shape for its age. The rear jump seats may have to be redone but that’s about it.
The driver, passengers seats, engine hatch and panels are good.
I am going to go with the original color vinyl which is pearl white and medium blue piping.
I need to find a wholesaler for the material then the pieces are going to TJ. I have a driver of mine that lives down there and his uncle is a really good upholstery guy. I have seen pics of his work and it’s clean. And the price is crazy low.
I will also redo the floor and ski locker. The floor is bolt in and will be a breeze.

For ur electra trim motor , take it to my friends shop in Santa Fe springs . https://spu2.com/ he does all my starters and alternators and bet he can bring that motor to life . Just went the other day . Tim place call me and said his shop forklift won’t start so I went over and pulled it for him . Took it to Jim’s and he laughed when I asked him if he had another one sitting . He told me that starter was made in the 50s lol anyway he had it done in 4 hrs and looked brand new . Good looking boat brother and hope to see it on the river soon

I used the same wood frames as they were solid. New foam and vinyl and carpet. All purchased at J&J auto fabric in Rialto.
For a total of zero dollars! He owed me a favor
Really happy with the way it came out.
