Pompano beach? Why there?
They are the largest distributor in the world per the manager who sold me the motor. Their wholesale prices are unbeatable. My local guy quoted me 20k for just he motor and install.

Motor, cables, harness, steering helm, gauges, control box, custom console inserts, trim switches, key and kill switch, sea star steering with install came to just under 14k.

Im having him wire up the 3 bank battery charger and check pumps and lights as well for a little extra.

I don't know a whole lot, but that sounds pretty damn cheap...no?

Hell of a job. How many hours of work you reckon went into that? I am so glad to watch this restoration.

That's not bad at all. I waste more than that at work every couple of weeks

Looks awesome man, congrats. I’ll be the first to admit I was skeptical when you first posted this that it would get done, but you knocked it out of the park.

Unreal resto! You will love that ride so much more than a regular boat that was purchased.

thanks man, it was challenging to stick with it for sure. Especially with tax season and football season and any number of excuses used not to keep at it. A 3 month project took a year and a half

Still have the trolling motor, fish finders and windshield to put on, but probably not before i break in the motor

Can't be done, I don't think. That's something the admins have set. All you can do is host them on a more reliable site like IMGUR. The links will always work as long as you don't delete them from your imgur account or move them to a different folder in your account.

Oh, and PS... GREAT Job on the resto. I admire your perseverance.

I cannot wait to see the monster bass you will catch as your reward for this beauty.

Congrats on bringing it back from the dead. I wish I could do something like this. I just don't have the knowledge or skill.
