Title: My Crusader Project
Post by: Crusader83 on November 22, 2014, 05:57:08 PM

So last year I had numerous electrical problems. So this year I said f*** it. I ripped ever wire and hose out of the boat. Last week was the start.
Today I filled old holes, sanded, sanded, and sanded some more, then painted the bilge with Bilgekote. 2 coats so far. I will be installing the carpet and 1 more coat tomorrow. Here's the pics so far.

It's cracked where the false floor meets the hull. I've already repaired it.

That things looking very clean, nice work.  You said you had a  bunch of electrical problems.  Was it caused by a bad wire loom?   If you need a loom I have a complete loom with zero splices I yanked out of a day cruiser if you could use it.  I'd hate to just trash it.

It was caused by bad terminals, corroded wires, shitty everything. Now everything will be water tight plugs, soldered and shrink tubed terminals.

Thanks for the offer on the wire loom. But I want to do it all new. I'm also not wiring my boat the way 99% of jet boats are wired. No more bus fuses.

Just my two cents but you should plate the outside of your stringers.  It will be nature your washers don't collapse.

Thanks for the comments guys. These washers are huge and I think they will hold up. If not I can always plate the outside.

I have to agree. When I asked him to make this for me, I had no idea the amount of detail he would put into it. It's a really nice piece!
