Hatches are back on, cap is sealed to the hull and ready for rub rail. Also added new flex trim to all hatch openings

Found the steering wheel on Craigslist out in Arkansas. Tough to find those bad boys

Plexiglass can be used for that.

Awesome job bruh.
I thought I wasn't scared to dive in a project boat.
I'm about done with a CC restore now and have an older stratos bass boat I'm going to restore. I just like the layout of the older ones better.
Then comes a 24 ft GW walk around I'm going to restore. I'll definitely do pics of that one.

Man it’s really starting to come together. It’s looking great. Are you going to put some color on it or is it going to be solid white?

Plexiglas can be used for that.

Lots of respect. That’s a great job

Painted the hull with two coats and repaired the areas that were just bugging the shite outta me. Going to apply another two coats of topside paint and one of clear coat, then wet sand and polish it off....then put the rub rail on.
Bought a jack plate but the holes drilled through transom don't line up...filled them with fiberglass filler and will drill new holes to match this weekend.
Purchased Minn Kota Ulterra trolling motor with GPS Link, Hummingbird fish finder with lakemaster. 3 bank charger and two 12v trolling motor batteries.
Have spoken with Suzuki dealership in Florida and they will install motor, gauges and control box. Hopefully I can get them to wire everything up for me.
Quality Manufacturing is making my seats and Trotter Marine is performing routine maintenance on my triton trailer.

1 step closer, killing it man! Almost to the finish line now.

Looking forward to the pictures when you take all the tape off.

Absolutely sick rebuild. I cant imagine how gratifying it will feel when you get this rig in the water.
Posted on 6/15/18 at 7:50 am to ChexMix
Smart move to repair the areas bugging you, your eyes and mind will always zero in on those defects. Helluva job and I consider myself a handyman/fix it guy....well I used too before this thread!!!
Posted on 6/15/18 at 10:31 am to ChexMix
This is going to be sick when its finished. Amazing job so far!
