yeikes looks like your ready for some granite tops pm me when ready 

the bullnose and vcap trim stuff gets expensive the wood cost much less

Thats what I thought , I remember the Daytona Tom and Josh converted to a jet.  That boat had (I believe) 3 layers of wood in the transom.  I believe it went from a stern drive to an OB to a Jet. 

 Polishing
 No.    I spent the day rideing, while the weather is still OK.  Needed to remove some rubber from the edges of the tires before putting the old GSX R away for the winter 

Hey,hey,hey.... I think I know that guy Btw GT how thick is that transom??? Fwiw mine is 3"

They gotta make them transoms "Thick" cause they got them "heavy ass egg beaters " hanging off the Ass end !

 No No No, you just need one of these super secret transom braces.   

 


 BTW, This thread has been off topic more than one of 2sav's builds  .  Lets see some progress pics GT !!

I warned you that the parts boat was coming home, wait til the neihbor sees this fuker!!!!    

Anyone want a project? 

I got a nearly new (hour meter says 10 hours) 1998 Alpha I 5.7 4 barrel carbed I/O  for the price of one of my old boat trailers.

Good God Glen put a cover or something over that thing. You are going to scare the neighbors.

Anybody have the theme song for Gilligan's Island?

I'm trying Glen, really, but what part (Other than the horn, which looks useable) do you need from this thing?

BUT!!!!, and this is sick, not to mention illegal probably, but might be kinda fun when you're done with it to tow it out and sink it for giggles!

To be honest with you Ray, almost nothing, but the guy that owned this boat was a wack job, he brought it to my shop in 1996 and the boat had literally been full of water to the gunwales and the 302 Ford powered Mercruiser completely submerged, I gave him a quote to go through the whole deal and get her running (I think it was in the neighborhood of like 5K) but did tell him I didn't think the boat was worth fixing...

Needless to say he took it to another shop and spent $10K to repower the boat with a brand new 260 HP 5.7L Mercruiser, he then used the boat for three months and parked it and bought another boat (bigger), this boat sat since 1997 and has 10 hours on the hourmeter, soooo I got the boat for the drivetrain, literally nothing else is useable    and wasn't in 1996 either 

Who's nuts now?      It is one ugly sombitch though aint it?

OK....Im an idiot, but a lucky idiot....

Took the engine and drive off that ugly bastard (parts boat) they told me the motor was cracked and was junk, so as I'm pullin the motor out, I decided to try and roll it over, I pulled the dipstick and found the oil level was almost at the top of the stick, I figured it was because of water in the oil, so I took a piece of clear tube and put a vacuum pump on it until something came into view...looked like oil, not water (the dipstick tube goes all the way to the bottom of the pan for draining)..Baffled, I hooked up a battery and the engine just thumped, so I figured it was water locked, pulled the plugs, still nothing...

Anyway, I pulled the engine drained the oil and got almost three gallons of oil out of the pan...(it holds 6 quarts)...

Baffled further, tI took a breaker bar out of the box and tried to roll it over by hand, no way no how...

So I decided to pull the heads off, this thing is friggen perfect, no rust, cross hatch still in the cylindars no carbon build up, perfect...

So I grab the breaker bar again and it spins over without any effort at all WTF!!!

Turns out the alternator was seized up solid as shit...

The 350 Chevy is almost ready to roll   \

I always say, "I'd rather be lucky than good"....So needless to say, I will have another running boat this summer.......

edit:
BTW not cracked anywhere.......
