Title: Here’s what I’ve been working on for the past few years.
Post by: eliminatorbuild on May 02, 2020, 08:07:46 PM

I bought this a few years back. It’s a 76 Eliminator bubble deck.
After I bought it I took it to levy craft and had them strip and re-gelcoat the bottom of the boat and install a new intake with a shoe and ride plate that I had done at B1 racing. And they also wet sanded the top to bring back the shine of the original gel coat. Since then I’ve installed new SS gas tanks, gauges, steering wheel and carpet. I know it’s not a lot of work for such a long time that I’ve been working on it. so recently I’ve taken the pump out of my old boat that Harold from R&D marine rebuilt a few years back. Now I’m in the process of re-painting the 460 from my old boat so I can install it in the new boat. I didn’t take a lot of pics but here’s what I have.

Thanks for sharing! I love bubble decks! Is that a round keel or the delta pad bottom?

That’s what I thought, just curious, I have a round keel bubbledeck that is a splash of that boat, curious on how it runs

That is a lot of work brother. Looks better than new. Slow and steady wins the race on a build like this. Great job!

Thank you. I’m going to try to get the motor in tomorrow. I’ll post more pics after.
