Team Cold Beer Racing was fortunate enough to aquire a bitchin little ride with TONS of potential.
For starters ,
THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A RACE BOAT!
At least I hope not :-\
First and foremost, the trailer, which was not the original trailer it came on, needs alot of work and the majority was out of nessecity.
Bunks WERE in the wrong spot.
Not anymore ;D

Second was the winch stand that was on the trailer HAD to go .

I took pictures of it done and they didnt come out too well.
So I'll snap some more today

What is it Omar? How about a profile shot or a description

So this is what the engineers decided to do at the front of the trailer .

Personally, I love it !
The mechanics of this thing has always left me a little on the nervous side.

beerjet, I would like to offer my field engineering input here.....On the floater bar, put in a second bolt about a 1/2" down from the pin hole, the reason being, that deal can hit the hull, and I won't have it... ;)
Push up on the bar and you will see Whatum talkinbout. When I build em, I never make the slot section more tha 3/4" deep just for that reason.
Nice job! Make me fell lazy as hell. :sly:

Just curious, anybody ever try like acetone or something to melt that foam?

Thanks Glen!
The Floater bar is getting all SS hardware and that will be added to the list.
And Daaaammmnnn there was alot of foam in that thing !!!! At least it looks like it was dry. :o
It was dry and thank god cuz all the fukin rats that lived in there at one time woud have hated living in damp quarters.
There was rat shit in there :-\

Im gonna take a guess...........
Hondo ???

That brings back not so fond memories >:D
Looks good though!!

Hondo ???
good call....after looking at the shape of the boat down the sides from the top view, i would have to agree....plus i have seen many hondo's with jacuzzi's

No.
I've basically been collecting parts ..... and stalling.
All the wood needs to be replaced and I know I'm a carpenter but I either have no time and money or no money and time.

No. Expected that. ::)

Can relate to the no time or money.

So one of the things I wanted to address was the gas tank because I don't like the round tanks in the gunnels or how they are mounted.
Found a spun aluminum tank, had MadSkillz cut the ends off and reweld them back on and had THAT welded to the top of trapezoid shaped tank I've had in my recycle bin.
BOOM!
Big ol river tank!
No, I don't know how many gallons it is but I will figure it out tomorrow.

I guess this one didn't attach the first time.

Omar, if you hurry you can have it ready for the unofficial SCJB 10 year anniversary gathering.

WHOA keith!
Let's not rush things now!
Honestly, "the times" have been REALLY tough on me and instead of selling my stuff off, I'd rather let it sit.
So that's what it's done.
-beerjet-

Anyways. ....
New stringers.
No way around that.
:'(
This is me peeling the fiberglass off the stringers.
I thought since I'm going to have aluminium sandwiching the stringer all the way forward, I could just reglass them.
But I'm opting them out.

If you ever need another set of eyes to watch you work, I'll put off some of my projects and make myself available. 8)

What the hell kind of boat is it??? LOL

Before I go sanding and all this and that I got this bright idea to cut a hole in the bottom of the boat.
-beerjet-
-
Luckily I had a drop through fin ..... to drop through. Hopefully it works right where its at cuz I'm super lazy "fine tuning"
-beerjet-
-
Another thing I wanted to address was the gas pedal because the one I had was a floor mount deal and this boat does not have a floor!
So what do you do?!
Call MadSkillz that's what you do!
Made me a stringer mount for my stringers.
(Imma need 10% for everyone sold Nick.)

You got the "fun" and "quick" part right...
I gotta patch up the holes where the round tanks were bolted through the bottom, so yes it is getting flipped.

Pretty shocked that these scjb peeps couldn't see the shape of the the deck and bottom/transom pics couldn't figure outbit was a winger. But the 80's colors is what sold me on it lol
