    Whos doing what to their boats? Once again I have a laundry list of things I want to do.

    I will be pulling the engines next weekend. Probably do a basic freshen up, just like rings, bearings, lifters, etc. They probably have about 6-7 seasons on them. They run fine, but I sleep better knowing its all fresh. Plus I would like to re-rig some things, and maybe a few things for a couple extra hp...Although quite a stretch, but seeing 90mph one time would super.

    Also will be pulling the Dash panel again, since that guy screwed me over and I hate the way it looks now. Will be doing it myself this time.

    Still have to finish race hatches, and the cockpit vinyl is tired. Ill be a busy bee soon.

    Thats quite a winter project Joe!
    I`ll be putting on some Imco SCX drives and some blowers. Oh wait I just woke up

    I guess sending some gauges to be rebuilt, some LED`s, fixing the horrible tint job some boner did on my hatches, maybe an A/C.
    If RYan Flat Deck can hook me up, something between the benches to sleep on.

    Need to find some props since I sold 2 of my 3 sets this fall.
    Really want to shorten my mid's from 25" to 20" to get rid of the individual spacer, but don't think I am up to the challenge. I don't think it would really be that hard as all that is involved is installing 20" shift shaft, shortening the water tube, and replacing the studs to the new shorter length. Everything is running so dang good right now I just hate to mess something up.

    I plan on redoing my dash. New gauges, wheel, and powdercoating the throttle/shifter. I also plan to update the graphics, with some new vinyl.

    I'll be fixing my trailer jack and going through my entire interior retightening and replacing screws...which includes putting my lighting valence back in place in the v-berth. I'd also REALLY like to get my dash back in 100% working order, and hook up my battery chargers again...so I need either Joe Fountain or Dennis NoBoat to help me out! Depending on my financial situation, I might spring for new gears and the cryo treatment from ToddSonic's drive guy.

    And...I'll be doing some serious trail-handlin' myself. Can't wait.

    I can tell you where NOT to send your dash panel to get redone!

    You know... you COULD turn that boat into a "triple digits" boat... there was a guy on OSO that did that with about the same size hull... would make for an interesting weekend...

    I think I will try Livorsi for the dash and gauges. I remember reading about the saga you had with your dash.

    Aside from helping SC288 with his minor issues, I think I will add a speedo with a few more digits!
