Thanks Glenn! Actually, in thinking about that, the swim deck will cover all that up anyway, so WTF cares? It's probably due to one motor mount plate being about a half inch lower than the other, though. The mounts are like an erector set, will figure them out later.



Working on a deal on a complete interior from a 24' Sleek that might work on this! News at 11 on that. Drug Skip, kicking, screaming, clawing and crying like a lil girl into this to get the engine stuff to A&D.....(J/K! Skips wholeheartedly involved in this dealio). But may need some SoCal help as this interior is in So Cal.

Brads right! 4 pages and no progress pics other than sorting. 

Been busy, but DID manage to get the rest of the hacked up transom wood out. New pieces almost ready to go in. My DA sander and Jig saw aparently decided to boycott this endeavor, so new ones are being bought tomorrow. Tanks are out, now, officially gutted!



Notice the exhaust outlets are NOT quite level clear across? Going to go ahead and fix that while this is all going on. Might as well, else it'll bug me!

Started building the forward bulkhead (They had built one, was a POS) and a rampway into the open bow (Decided we're keeping that).



The hack job they started on the dash is going away. Once floors are in, I'll tackle that. I figured start on both ends of it and meet in the middle somewhere.



Ever see twin 40 Gallon tanks? lol. All loaded up for the Hot Rod shop to tear apart and rebuild. I decided I wanted them to cut out the pickup tubes, weld in new, add new senders, then pressure check them. At some 220# or so full, don't want any issues with them, especially considering my history with fuel leaks......



We're off to a good start!

Ray

In a word! AWESOME! Congratulations guys! 

I think the Root Beer Float's got a lil catchin' up to do!

Ray

Now get some yougin's of yer own to pass it down to again...........

I love it!! Brad fire up the sticker machine!!

 

Ray

Ok, they're not mine Ray they're you buddy Jay's. I just told him I could sell 'em for him. His boat is getting a new cam this week and he said sumpthin about,.........Mooo huntin?

Tell him to Bring it! Moo's ready! lol

Actually, give him my cell number, Kinda miss the guy and he wants to talk smack......lol!

Ray

Looks a LOT like my old Biesemeyer 21' (RIP)

Pretty close!







Ray

I like the 2 forward torpedo tubes, maybe that will get different names going

Those are actually headlights! But yeah, could start a new trend from the front instead of the back, lol.

I Like the "torpedo tube" idea though! lol

Ray

Just crawl up there with ear plugs and take it like a man Jeff! 

Actually, Hemi heads can be made to fit 440 blocks pretty handily. The block only needs to be notched for the exhaust pushrod and a cut in half piece of tubing welded in. Seen that done years ago! Forget where, I'll look for the link! But would be a cool idea!

Ray

Ray youll need that when  you start smuggling  30 mexicans at a time. Pay for that ship in no time ,  still think it needs bull horns on the bow and name it moo s  mate

Lol I'll always have a second job with it by moving to Florida smuggling Haitians for sure!

The name will be what the fella's agree on........as usual with my boats! Becoming a tradition around here, lol!

Ray

That's too pretty to get wet Bro!

World class work, as usual! 

Ray

I don't think ANY of us here think you did anything wrong, Jeff!

This is apparently 3rd hand information, from what I can understand of this, "Someones brother of an ex-girlfirends sister's boyfriend bought......and three owners later......."

It was a beautiful boat when you built it. If the clown you sold it to messed it up, or sold it to someone else that did, or broke it, then sold it to this guy, why's that you're fault?  Could very well be the boat HAS indeed broken, but it wasn't YOU or BUSBY's fault there. Beleive me, I've hit rollers I thought I'd break Moo's and Pickles bow completely off! (Knocked a part of Pickles rub rail off at Bartlett not that long ago)

Sounds like the middle mans fault! Just thinking out loud....Don't get an ulcer over this! You cannot control what happened to this sled after you sold it!

It does make me think hard though.........I mean, years from now, hopefully, when and IF I ever sell Moo and anyone asks the same question, OBVIOUSLY, gonna point to me! Think about it!

Ray

LOL! Yeah, we BOTH are! I may want BOTH sets, Tony wants one. One set is no good to me.....

Tony and I are arguing this out privately, Terry, LOL! Keep ya posted,........

Ray

Happy B-day Crew...Boy, everybody's getting older....

GT

Nahhh, Just you Glenn.....
