Re: Motor and Boat Pictures
Hi people, <br /><br />Here is my baby.. still a work in progress..<br />recently I got an angle grinder and cut up the front of the cabin.. so I could make the full width "wraparound" windows you see now.<br /><br />Just put them in this weekend.. 8mm laminated glass on the front, and 4mm tinted acrylic on the sites. (had to, there is curature.)<br /><br />It makes the boat look much newer. (don't know what year, but it has to be early 70's)<br /><br />
<br /><br />You can see the template in the middle for the hatch I have yet to make..its going to slide into the ceiling when its open.<br /><br />Here is another nice view of the window work.<br /><br />
<br /><br />Here is a look at the other end.. this one shows my trailer modifications, and the fact that the interior of the boat is proactically bare, I am building a new dash and bulkhead.. and my little 6HP kicker is in the photo as well..<br /><br />
<br /><br />Last one is the outboard I am doing up.. this thing was mostly silver (no paint) when I got it.. it had no computer, the wiring was clagged the carbs were stuffed, the gearcase was stuch in forward and it hadn't been run for 10 years...<br /><br />It purrs like a kitten now.<br /><br />behind it you can see the old 62 evinrude 40hp it will be replacing...<br /><br />
<br /><br />sorry for such a long post.. but you did ask
<br /><br />When all the body is done, I am gonna paint this puppy with 2pack and call it done.<br /><br />rgds<br /><br />Frank
