That’s super exciting  :cheering2:

How many more steps are you looking at before she’s water ready?

Well let's see. I have to mount the t-top, run all the wiring, cut out all the openings in the console, install everything on that, run the engine and steering cables to the back, install the porta bracket and engine, drill the deck drain through hulls and install those, and then probably about a million other small things that I'm forgetting. Oh, and then I still have a ton of small touch up things to do that I am putting off until after I get it in the water.

Words of encouragement lol honestly though, it sounds like a great part of the rebuild process that I look forward getting to. My biggest pet peeve are scuppers at or below the waterline. Do you plan on running your drains to the stern or out of the sides of the hull?

The plan is to go out the back. I think I am going to wait to drill them until after I splash it the first time so I can mark the water line and make sure they are high enough. I raised the floor 2 1/2" so hopefully they stay dry

Mike, what are the two round holes in the floor at the aft of the boat?  Are these where you are going to drain the deck?

Yup, exactly. I installed some Gemlux deck drains.

They do stick down a little in the floor which is why I'm waiting to drill the transom holes. I want to make sure they are above the water line before I do. Worst case scenario I will have to fill them and put in a horizontal drain tube that's more level with the deck but I think I'll be able to use them with how much I raised the floor

One suggestion, if the drains don't have to be moved, is that you're going to have water pooling behind the drains, in the corners and along the inner wall where your rear hatches are. To avoid the pooling, you might consider building up and rounding out the corner and rear edge with thickened resin so that it forces the water back toward the drains. It won't take much but it'll keep you from going nuts trying to get that water out.

One thing I wish I would have thought about before I put the floor down is to add an extra layer of coosa under them so I could recess the holes down a half inch or so, but now I have a bulkhead there so I can't get under it very easily.

I did notice some water pooling up while it was on the stands but now that it is on the trailer I can just keep it a little more level and any extra drains right out of the floor hatch drains so hopefully it won't be a big deal.

Starting to come together! Got the badges riveted back on and put the t-top in. Right now it's just held down with one screw in each foot so I can shim up the front and side brackets. Then I will through bolt it in place permanently. I also started laying out the console.

Coming along nicely! Great Job. I'm sure you are ready to get it on the water.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks guys!

Had another productive weekend. The weather finally broke which made it so much nicer to be out there all day.

Finished up installing everything on the console last night and got the t-top shimmed up and bolted down.



Then I decided to get the porta bracket installed. I called them the other day and they sent over a few PDFs with everything I needed to get it going. Super nice folks over there. I have an engineer in the family so I sent the mounting template over and had it plotted out full size. Made it so much easier than measuring by hand.



Getting it up there by myself was another story but I made it work.



It still works! Well, it goes up at least lol. I shorted out one of the solenoids while I was touching the wires directly to the battery to test it a week or so ago. I'll give them another call tomorrow and order a replacement.

This is about the only visible sign of my progress this week but I've gotten a good amount done.



I probably have 90% of the rigging done. I got the engine harness, throttle cables, and hydraulic lines for the bracket and steering run. New battery cables run, battery switch hooked up, all the pumps and electronics going, and the N2K network wired up and powered. All I really have left is the lugs for the starting battery and to clean everything up a little more (before I post a pic of the wiring lol). Then it'll be time to hang the motor!
