Farley had asked for a pic of the work.....better late than never, so here is one....



The extension sure brought the prop down to where it needed to be. Nothing that a few inches won't help  :wink:

Well, since I am now 'reunited' with my boat after returning to Flarda from the  NC farm.......I am back at trying to do right by her.
Figured I would just take up where I left off in this thread rather than starting a new one.

Good news!!....I used the CPES (phase 1) and the L&L (phase 2) from RotDoctor to fix the soft spot in the deck where PO had left three screw holes open. Worked beautifully! Very happy with the repair.

And more good news !!!!
I had thought the hull had been painted because I could see the 'shadow' of the colored stripes ...."under" the white paint.
Well....turns out after someone that actually knows his stuff looked at it.....it is gelcoat, not paint!
He said someone removed the stripe decals and the gelcoat underneath is effectively 'newer' than the exposed area and will look different. Sure fooled me!
So, with some wet sanding with 2000 grit and then buffing/waxing......this boat ought to look great! Still intend to bottom paint with black. Also have new boat name logo designed for the sides. Should look SHARP!

Spent today pondering wiring issues. Mounted a horn and new VHF radio.....just not wired in. Might need to try to sort out some of the existing spaghetti before I add to the confusion. Had seen a wiring pic from Seabob ...actually a 'before and after' set that was impressive....but now I can't find it. It sure was something to strive for!
Also on the 'to do' list is installing new chartplotter/depthfinder.....so I will be tangled up with wiring (pun intended) for a bit.

Want to thank everyone again for all the help so far......this is indeed one great Aquasport family!

So, with that......a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the family!!!!!

Can you tell me what the difference is between the striper and osprey model of this boat is? I just bought a 90 model 200 and it looks just like yours pretty much, the door is gone off the console so i don't know if was teak. it has a plastic set of drawers on the port side of the console and some type of plastic boards on the rail aft. I'm already looking for some wood to replace those with.

The Striper was just an options package.  The hull etc are otherwise the same.  Basically included a set of tackle drawers on the side of the console, some rod holders and a few other whistles and bells.  Basically a marketing ploy.

Just make sure you have the Striper model and not the Stripper model.   :shock:  The Striper is a accessory package that cost a little more; the Stripper is a package of accessories that will cost you a LOT more.  ( . )( . )
