brad, i think we might need to move this to the project forum, ha! today i had quite the busy afternoon.
started off scraping off the ungodly sealer, silicon whatever it was off the transom, and resealed it with silicone. i think it looks alot better.
Oh yeah heres a tip: old credit cards from thieving banks work good to smooth out silicone. i used wamu since they raised my rate from 8% to 31% for no reason
Before
After
Then i got a wild hair to do some more to the boat.

and then the Big brown Truck showed up with goodies from tom and i started doing this
Once again, Tom is the best. (notice the keychain)ordered parts on monday at 5pm and already started installing them

Well heres what i got done today
Got a new wiring light kit for the trailer
Got a new 2'' hitch to weld on the trailer instead of 1-7/8"
Got a new strap for the winch
Ordered a new steering kit and forward reverse cables. thanks tom
Ordered a tiki shifter knob
got carpet and upholstery samples
started removing the spray paint from the headers.
does anyone know if you can polish and then powdercoat clear the exhaust logs, or will they yellow?
Still got a ton of work to do!

cool, good info. so is it just cut down? i can do that, i'm a metal fab guy. ill take the one off your hands, price is right! i'm not too worried about a rudder, everyone i know used to have one till they hit the bottom at the river. everyone says they're only good when docking etc. i don't plan on docking the boat much.

interested in the nozzle, hows it work better? im new to owning jets, since its been a whole 8 hours owning one. im coming from a childhood of whackers so i will probably have a few questions.
Were taking name suggestions as well.
brown trout... ole lady says no way
then she came up with "east bound and brown" anyone see the show on hbo?

heres a lil peach i found and bought today. 1969 Schiada 16' 355 SBC 10:1 rv cam berk B-pump. all O.G. including the upholstery.The plans are to either throw some towels over the seats and use it this season, or see if i can get a deal and re structure the seating configuration. carpet is high on the list. funds are low but shes a runner! the gel is in pretty damn fine condition since it is a 40 year old boat. the glass in the floor is gorgeous. has stainless tanks.
i do need to replace the cables though. i gotta figure out what model morse they are.
forgive my ignorance, but i have never seen a pump nozzle like the one i have. its got like some scoop deal where the fin normally goes. anyone shed some light on that? also i got a extra set of edelbrock exhaust with it.
