The thinking process has begun, floor is out dash is being removed, measurements are being taken...
I will take about a year all in.
This is the cockpit idea I think Im going with, the dash wont be curved like that, but will cut down a fiberglass console and stick it under the gunwale. Also using the PPI style seats this time.

The things you discover....
Taking the old dash and hynautic steering out..
1. though the last reg sticker expired 10 years ago and the boat has been sitting for who knows how long, the hynautic steering still had pressure.
2. the steering was plumbed with copper tubing.....P-4077 "The Swamp" S.B.Y.C. and Michigan medboat mothership

its actually Klym, Jim Klym. He went thru more boat companies than you can count, mostly direct splashes. the fiberglass work want too bad, but he couldnt rig a boat worth a damn, threw junk yard motors freshly spray painted into brand new boats, etc... etc... etc.... he finally killed himself when the cops knocked on his door.P-4077 "The Swamp" S.B.Y.C. and Michigan medboat mothership

the Avanti I plan on running this summer, then I will take the motor, steering, hp gimble etc off of it and put it in the the mayhem. I still have the original nonmag 454 and standard transom assembly , regular steering etc laying around so I will put the avanti back together with the slow stuff.
