    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    That's very different from my stock ones. They seemed to be a 4 inch strip of ply laying across the tops notched into the stringer width wise... interesting.

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    This is true, but a little extra support never hurts Did they tie into the hull or was it just bridging the stringers? the original ones on mine were nothing more than to nail the floor to and didn't offer any structural bearing at all.

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    So I have a question. It seems this boat had no true bulk heads side to side. So I had a thought... I want to build a T that extends out from the rear fuel tank bulk head out to the edge of the hull. It would be a 3/4 or half inch sheet of ply notched to fit flush with the top of the outside...

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    Didn't update but Friday I did some more templating and cut out the side boxes. This is my bulkhead for the fuel tank. Small lip left for the deck and boxes to align everything for final fit.

    Yeah. It gets to be a lot. If I were still able to glass in the garage it'd probably have a deck right now. But it's all good. The really hard stuff is for the most part, done. One day at a time.

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    Last two weeks have been crazy. Obviously my memorial day deadline is out the window. But July 4th shouldn't be an issue. I plan on getting back in it on Friday then taking the weekend off and hopefully getting a full day of glassing in on Wednesday/Thursday. At that point it should be good...

    They're great until 1 person gets involved and ~7 million disappears just before the time of the reading quite mysteriously. Like I said, don't trust a god damned thing.

    Wealth preservation,....

    I'm moving some into Roth. Beyond that, I got a pension but I highly, highly doubt even a cent of that will be around by the time I retire at the rate my current state is going. A very close friend is working with me to put something together on those Roth accounts so there is maybe something to...

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    Haven't been able to do much so just been chipping away test fitting wood. When I glass the front false floor transition, I plan to ramp it then do a pass through in the bulk head so any water up there can pass under the fuel tank and through the rear bulk head to the bilge.

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    Did a bunch of test fitting today. Also got evicted so to speak. Hopefully she's structurally sound enough to go on the trailer....

    cooking

    Mine being inauthentic is because the crust is like a pie crust... not a dough crust. I was trying to duplicate a bar pie my parents used to go to and got pretty close with that one and I liked it. It's also cheese and sauce only. About 2lbs of cheese actually lol. She's big, 14 inch or so...

    I messed around with deep dish back in December. Got one I liked a lot though it isn't 100% traditional or authentic. Yours looks awesome. Mine:

    1986 Mercruiser 260 Advice

    Yeah it's about as mismatched as you can get I think... dad built the original drive from the 3.0l when he got the boat from bad cores and basically junk he had in the shop at the time... you know, stuff you'd never put on a customer's boat but still good enough to gamble on for yourself since...

    Manifolds (Trying to figure out what I am looking at)

    Good eye. Cylinder 5 which seemed to be near the worst of it. I am hopeful they did everything right but... I'd feel better if that was a crack as odd as it is to say. I'll have to take a look when I go down. Appreciate it. Yeah, heads are cheap and accessible around here too. Hell, new from GM...

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    Few updates: First, carpet was delivered. Second, got the call from the machine shop... found no issues with the engine. I'm both relieved and not at the same time. Guess we'll find out as time goes on.

    Manifolds (Trying to figure out what I am looking at)

    So I just got off the phone with the shop. Everything (including manifolds) was pressure tested, inspected, torn down whatever... And there was nothing to be found. They're equally as confused as I am currently but everything checks out. Was hoping to feel more confident about their findings...

    Help Getting Boat on EZLoader Trailer

    I guess you don't. But when if/when pulled on the dry you typically like having one. Granted that isn't an issue for the southern folk.

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    Thanks! I'm going to mark out the grid for the cleats on the hull then just snap chalk lines once the boards go down. Figure that should work. My boards are all going to be seamed on a cleat anyway as I want to retain the center hatch for fuel tank removal/access.
