What did I do?

« **Reply #100 on:** January 09, 2008, 06:46:57 PM »

I used to keep about 6 extra life vests up there. I am thinking to replace the board and glass it on the bottom and sides. It will give me somewhere to mount my speakers also.

Put something that floats up front, just in case.

Not intending to hijack, but, is that really necessary? The gas tank I got from hotrod is different than the one removed; in addition to some sprayed foam in the bow that I'll be removing, there's also a flotation type deal that runs across the bow that will need to be removed to accommodate the tank.

chaz, nice work on floor, i prefer grey is that light or gunmetal, and what steering design are you using and where did you get it at, i see there is no wheel and mount for it in the boat yet, let us know please i am doing mine soon

« **Reply #103 on:** January 09, 2008, 08:23:10 PM »

There is a wheel... I just removed it to make room to install the bow braces. I have no idea what kind it is, sorry.

I didn't have any flotation in the front of this boat when I got it, and the boat that your tank came out of didn't either

The new floor is finished

Next step is to install the bow braces.

Damn! Fantastic job. Keep it up

I got the "kick" panel designed, cut, and glassed in today. I also finished glassing in the deck braces so the front is complete

Tomorrow I need to get the seats glassed in and steering back on. Then it's time to try my hand at carpet.

Compared to everything else you did, and how good it looks, I don't think carpet will be much of an issue.

I added a couple photos of yesterdays work now that it is dry and I am clean enough to touch my camera

Anyone have tips on carpet installation?

Here are a couple pics of my mock up on the carpet.

Why carpet the bow?

« **Reply #112 on:** January 13, 2008, 08:35:34 PM »

It had carpet there when I bought it, and I think it helps keep things stored under there from shifting around. Looks better to me too

So... It is done

Now I just have to do what I was planning before I started this loco project, change the intake manifold gasket

VERY fine job man; no more plant life growing under your feet

« **Reply #114 on:** January 13, 2008, 11:03:34 PM »

Thanks, I just hope no one misses the seats that reclined on acceleration

I dont blame you for carpeting the bow. I would have also. No sense in doing all that nice work for something to look half-assed! My bow on the Sanger is carpeted and the bulkhead is even wrapped in the same material as the seats. Just makes it look sharper. Good job on all the work.

Thanks, It came out OK for my 1st try. As I thought the color is growing on me every time I look at it. I can't wait to get it out in the water now that Everything is set up for my short frame

I moved the seat forward, the gas pedal closer to the seat, the jet-o-vater control right to my reach. I guess it may be a little cramped for a tall person, but I guess that means I get to drive more

I know how you feel about setting things up to fit you. I think the guy that had my boat was around 7' tall, although I know better. The foot throttle was over where the passenger could have operated it and the trim control was so far up under the dash that you almost had to crawl under to change the trim. The seat to the steering was ok so I didn't have to move that. Carpet does look good. Too bad it wasn't a little later in the year, I would have given you mine and it's that color cause I'm going to be changing mine out and it was new last year.
