Winter Projects

[Spicy]

Every winter I do something to upgrade or fix something on the boat....


Yesterday Tantra, Jay and my buddy Tim from Stevens Upholstery and myself took the 400SS cockpit interior out for some fresh skins on my boat....you dont realize how many pieces there are when you start unbolting all the cushions.... it should look nice, looking forward to boating season!!!


What is your winter project?

lol, sounds like he wound up on his ass...I will ask. It doesn't matter to me where he takes it, sounds like he really wants to make the move to the house. He can keep it all winter, drives wont go back on until early april.

Been sitting on this one for a couple years. 1996 fountain 42'. 500 with bravos. Replacing complete wiring, paint, interior, motors and drives with arnesons.

[rockfish71]

Need to finish my repower going from 330hp to 580hp+ last year was tough had a new one in the family and had not much time to do anything but feeding and changing diapers all summer.

[off roading]

stepping up to 900 hp's

[off roading]

Don't know how the arnesons are going to work. got them as low as i can without filling step. will adjust lower next year if i have to. there are still 2" above bottom , but are 52" from back. the firgures i think are for every foot off transom the water rises 1" . just in testing mode now.

Send a PM to Rik at Arneson. He may have the answers, and anything else, you need. If you look him up in the member list there will be a link to his website at arneson.

Other than that, put a thread in the Fountain section and see if anyone else has tried this.

Looks like a very interesting project. Keep us informed. And welcome.

Brandon was sewing away on it yesterday afternoon.... Picture 3 is all your old vinyl... He has quit a few projects in there now, Art Lilly just gave him a few boats along with his sons 12 Meter... Mine is next supposedly??
