18' Kornowski Kustom -- gonna be a long winter

« **on:** October 22, 2014, 11:20:14 AM »

Picked up this river cruiser from Scott Kornowski out in Havasu a month or so ago...I was going to keep it a secret but I just can't !!!! It's a 72 Kachina bottom that he blueprinted, then glassed a new Crusader deck on it, (Scott owns the mold for Crusader) along with capping it. It has 4 new mahogany stringers, new transom, custom aluminum tanks with fill necks in the boat, new intake/ ride and shoe set by MPD, along with a few other bells and whistles... Going to put my 468 roller motor in it and see how she does.. That's all gelcoat btw

I think he's wanting somewhere around 8k for something like this.

I did some trading, along with cash for mine. That's why I'm saying "somewhere around $8k".

Scott is one of the best in the business, you scored on that, congrats

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

Scott is a super cool guy and I'm beyond pumped to have ended up with this boat. I was at his shop with a friend of mine last year and saw this boat while he was still working on it. I fell in love with it then. Can't believe it's actually MINE now.

I will definitely try and keep progress pics flowing for you guys

I wanted to use my pearl white cocktail seats from my old Bahner. Had to French the sides for the gas fill necks though. I'm pretty happy with the way they came out.

Thanks Justin!
I'm really happy with it. I'm finding new little tricks that Scott did to the thing all the time. He does some pretty badass work.

Can't wait to get the thing done and in the water.

Pulled the boat off the trailer to overhaul the trailer.
Can't have this glittery bastard sitting on some janky lookin trailer!

I've been so swamped with work and painting lately it's hard to have time to work on my own stuff. Finally ALMOST finished the trailer... but it's done enough to get the boat back on it. Pretty happy with the way it came out. New bunks, new fender pads (still need to finish one), welded the trailer jack mount to the side, rolled the whole trailer with POR-15 gloss black then 2 part POR-15 clear coat, then pinstriped it with fire engine red and metallic silver (not done with that either).
What do you guys think?

Looks great. The trailer is one project I have not had time to tackle yet.
