And just for the Halibut. I spent 5.5 years building this woodie. 220 HP BMW and out-drive.....
It's an in board outboard . I know how to work on engines. Just not an outboard.....
I put a power antenna between the trumpet horns on the bow. When I turned on the am/fm cd the antenna would squirt up between the horns. Hydraulic shocks on the engine room covers. I would unlatch them and they would raise by themselves. Aluminum diamond plate throughout the engine room. Clear black walnut for all framing and dash pod and windshield frame. I had over 40 hours just on the windshield frame.....got my design from an old Hacker woodie. Every thing was fastened with bolts and nut. screw holes counter sunk and I would cut plugs out of scrap walnut, cut sand and varnish. A labor of love.....Took the glass company 2 trys to cut my tempered glass. The window trim is from a new shower door ran through the table saw. I called Taco industries and for them to make me some trim I needed , they had to re tool their machines. I had to but 1500 Lin feet for that LOL I made my own and it looks fantastic!! I drilled all the holes and counter sunk them..
First week in the water, I went to a boat show in Anacortes WA and there was a guy that liked it a lot. He offered me $30,000 for it. NO CHIT. I said LOL, I just put it in the water, call me in a couple years. I should have taken the money. I had double that into the boat.I ended up cutting up the boat and burn it. Lack of use and fresh water rain destroyed it. I had it covered up all the time..I cried when that day came..........
