Mom's Ultra REBUILD ! ! !

« **on:** October 24, 2012, 07:10:27 PM »

Yup my mom is finally making me do it.. Not positive on the exact year but we have it registered as a 2001 (year we bought the boat). We purchased it from a police auction minus the front seats, gauges and a motor. We got a motor in it and made some front seats and used the boat for a couple years. It did 55 mph and rode like a cadillac, THEN the bad news. My mom and sister eneded up parking it at there place uncovered for a while and long story short it filled up with water and rotted out the seat frames in the front and the floor.. Ill post more pics later, here is one I took tonight

. This thing is going to get paint, interior, new floor, carpet, new stereo, gonna go through the motor which is a CHEVY of course 454, and has a 12jg pump with a hydraulic place diverter.

Where and how often do you find stuff like this at auction. What you have there is what i want.

Looks like a mid 90s SS. They're good boats, same hull as mine. That one has more storage than mine and there's no rear facing seats behind the driver and passenger.

My Ultra project started out with a brown paper bag on the dash as well.

@ 5150whiteboy - Hell something like that with out a motor would do me just right. I need that hull (one similar) with no motor. Can use the 454 i have in my ultra and get rid of the rest for some cash to clean up the other one.

Did it have a good amount of green in the gel with milkshake oil and a missing back seat bottom? I saw one like it at long beach yacht sales.. sometimes they get cool river boats there that are either repos or confiscations by law enforcement.

Looks like you've got your hands full. Are you gutting it bear and flipping it, or are you going to paint it on the trailer? As far as suggestions, I suggest you buy your mom a boat cover for Christmas.

« **Reply #16 on:** October 27, 2012, 08:18:59 PM »

No ideas on colors yet, Im sure it will come to me. I want something bright !!! Something fun I can go wild with hahah.. I have a couple ideas on updating the interior with more beer holders and just a much newer look overall . Big johson I like the idea of getting rid of the teak looking storage cover and making a carpted one.. And the bottom of the boat is actually really nice white gel coat, and theres a body line that I can just paint right above on so I can avoid trying to flig this big ol thing.. Still not sure if I want to cap this boat or leave mom and sister with a little bumber haha

My idea would be a basic white with HOC candy tangerine (love this color) on a silver base. Use silver/titanium, black and maybe a purple or bright lime green, all in metallic, as accent stripes. I want to do a day cruiser I'm building in similar colors, but wife doesn't like any orange. As far as rub rail vs cap, I like the look of a cap but if your mom and sister are like most of us and don't drive it like a show piece, I'd do a rub rail. Custom paint jobs are normally a bitch to repair and look like shit if the are all chipped up.

Couple more shots. The floor is so soft, going to remove the rest of the carpet and side panels tomorrow.

Check out west coast marine interior's photo gallery. They have an ss style Ultra like your mom's.

They go all out, make the bow seating area larger... Good to look at for ideas.
