So...Whats on the Menu this winter?

[MILD THUNDER]

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.

At some point finishing my boat up................ After 3 years..........

I plan on doing some handlin!!

[Twin Whackas]

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

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!

I have not looked into Gaffrig yet, but I will now. I will see if they have anything I like.

I didnt have any issues with gauges, just panel itself getting done. I chose to go with the Autometer Marine Gauges. I went with the Silver with Chrome Race rims. I like the race rims better than the typical double lip style rims. Only thing I wish I would have done was went with Monster size gauges.

When shopping for the gauge packages, I have 15 gauges total. It was like 900 for autometer marine, and like 1500 for livorsi. Autometer makes gauge, livorsi customizes them. I had autometers in my past boats with no issues. The older gaffrigs that were in the Fountain when I got it, had spider cracked lenses on several of the gauges. They all worked fine though. I dont think they use the plastic lenses anymore though.

CPPERFORMANCE had a deal when I bought mine, I got a free bezel in any color with each gauge. So that was like 150 bucks worth of bezels for free with the order. That was cool!

Joe your dash looks great. I agree the gaffrig guages of yester year were shotty at best. CP typically runs specials over the winter.

Dash looks awesome! I am going to need to my dash panel painted and re-labeled. I was also thinking of having the holes opened up for bigger guages. Does anyone else do this besides Livorsi and the guy Mild used? As far as the gauges I am going to shop around and see who has the best looking gauge for the price. I only have a single engine so it should be rather reasonable.

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.
