Title: Nordic454's Diverter Project
Post by: Nordie on February 21, 2010, 05:22:33 PM

So since I like to do progress pictures for everyone...I been helping Brandon AKA Nordic454 with his boat, and putting a diverter on it so here is what we did just for everyone's viewing pleasure


this is how it started it's life!

Started with the diverter handle

This is how the diverter looks now...he used appliance epoxy paint

And today first lake trip, and a quick test run! it was 58 degrees, and the lake was really nice....felt good for getting on the water...it was a little tease, but definately a good fix for the winter time blues

thanks Josh, yup, I finally after 5 years got my diverter! ;D damn one piece bowl, daycruiser, can get the rooster any higher :banghead: even after my master fab skills of clearancing it to move higher, its all I get. but it picked up some speed with the diverter and the loader I installed, and I will now get a much needed smoother ride on Lake Mead
