Since Sam has a new boat on the way, he needed to make room and didnt have time to mess with this project, so I took it off his hands and I am looking to complete it.

Previous thread Sam made: http://www.socaljetboats.com/projects/mom%27s-ultra-rebuild-!-!-!/


Overall the boat is a good base for a project. Its a full stringer hull. The majority of the vinyl is in decent condition, just very very dirty.

The bad: it sat for a long time nose down and filled up with water. the floors need to be replaced. Sam had pulled out a bit of the floors already. Also, the wood in all the interior needs to be replaced.

The plan is to replace all the wood (floor and interior) and make due with the vinyl I have. Mechanically it just needs a carb and place diverter nozzle. I will use it for this summer and if all goes well, it will get new paint and vinyl next winter.

I would like to pull the motor (454) and drop the pan n stuff to just make sure everything is sound since its been sitting for so long.

I have a lot of work ahead of me as I am shooting to have this usable for the april trip in less than 5 weeks 

i see a shopping cart full of magic erasers in your future 

that and some malco cleaner lol good luck brad hope u get the boat together!!!

Stoked to see this build thread. My dad has a 2006 Ultra Stealth 22' and the floor rotted up like crazy(im guessing how yours did) he replaced it all and glassed it. A lot of Ultra owners(accordinging to my dad) do that with the older stealth's glass the floor because the wood rots every coupple years. Just food for thought... Im digging the open bow!

Wheres the progress pics? hahah

And my stickers....
Ha ha!

Mfg date stamp on the tanks say 1993/4...so I assume its a mid 90's (1994-1996) Ultra

No all the seat wood is rotted too. It sat nose down and uncovered for a few years and filled up with water. Whole open bow interior is dust.

Pulled out all of the wood except the stringers and transum wood which both are in decent condition. Theres a little  subfloor on the outsides of the stringers by the motor. I have to pull the motor to get to it. I'm done for the day. I'm not used to this. Forgot how much I HATE fiberglass. Wtf was I thinking?? Next 4 weeks are going to be hell.

Are you doing the floor yet? I have a shit ton of resin that needs to be used before it goes bad.
