She’s looking great! Will you be launching this winter or waiting for spring?

Barring some crazy weather event, I will be launching the day she's ready. Motors are on the inbound and I am wiring as fast as I am able. The overhead box is about one coat of paint away from ready to go, and the switch panels are being engraved. All of the pieces are coming together.

This has been (and continues to be) one hell of a rebuild. :thumright:

Just a quick update today. I got the overhead box installed, now the fun starts with wiring all the overhead lights and accessories.

No crabbing yet, I've been waterfowling like crazy up here. Truth be told, I had been taking good progress shots  of the boat but lost my phone this weekend in an unexpected swimming incident while duck hunting.

I will take a pile of photos and bring the thread up to date tomorrow. Going to be a big day.

Well, after a very long wait, the 175 finally showed up, and I was able to bring her back home on Wednesday. The only thing left to do was fabricate the custom tie bar for commercial steering connector. I couldn't resist seeing her on the water so I took her out the very next day. After the first three hours of break-in, I was able to wrap her up a bit. With the 19 pitch prop, at 6100 rpms the GPS is saying we are running 42mph. I have to talk to the dealer about that, I think I may be leaving some on the table, as I reach peak RPMs with quite a bit of throttle lever travel left over.  A set of trim tabs are in my future, the bow does have quite a bit of rise until I get up on plane. I only had one other person in the boat, so I am not sure how she'll act with a little more weight up front, but the tabs can't hurt and the Bennett ATP sure looks nifty. The one thing I was pretty excited to try, and happy to report worked, was using the main and kicker in opposition to spin the boat in position. I can turn on a dime. If I can talk somebody up here into putting on some rain gear and going out with me today, I'll get some profile pictures of her sitting on the water. I was too damn excited to run her to get a good picture last time. Now I just need to button up some small things, and put the cushions on, then get some fenders, wheels and tires on this trailer so the rest of the package is up to snuff.

Wow! She looks great! Looks like she is going to be a machine out on the water! Great job and thanks for the updated photos! :)) I would definitely take you up on the offer for photos (I do photography on the side) but I think there are just a few too many miles between us. Hehe

Ha, no worries. I was thinking I could get one of my brothers, or a friend up here to do it, but there isn’t anybody who likes rain and 40 degrees enough to join me.

Awesome work! Nice to see her on the water. FWIW I have a 4 blade prop that is supposed to give some more stern lift and I can jump up on plane with very little bow rise.

What pitch are you running?
