Steve,
What is that “thing” mounted to the left of the star on your garage door?

Overdue for an update!! Got most of the main rigging, plumbing, etc. finished up this summer. Motor fired right up and I am really happy I chose a newer 4-stroke in lieu of using the older 225 Evinrude. Need to order a rubrail and finish some hardware and bilge pump wiring etc. and it'll be on the water (FINALLY!). I did a water pump replacement and ill do an oil change soon as well. Fall will be here before we know it so ill be back on the fiberglass work for the FB and the 240.

Thanks Rick. It was hard to photograph with the light available. I’m hoping this container is enough in quantity. I went a little heavier than I would like on the bracket but it flowed fast. I will tape off some of the holes in the shaker when I do the floor for better control.  No non- skid is going under the coffin box and center console so this container should over it.

I am going with these stickers. I will leave the “235” just to mess with people lol. I think it will look really good with the boat and it period relative. I will just cut the lower black straight across and eliminate the angle.

Thank you Captain Bob. Appreciate the feedback.

Fairing out the cowling.
Didn’t realize how much work the cowling was going to be. I heat gunned off the stripes but it left a solid goo line. Debond is amazing stuff. Got all the goo off. Wish I discovered it years ago. Popped all the emblems off as I am going for a 1978 look to keep to the period. I felt kind of dirty doing so as they were in good shape and I like the way they look but I have other plans. Filled in all the emblem holes.







First attempt ever at anti skid. I am pleased. Shot some paint, sprinkled some very very expensive rubber granules and sprayed again. Looks great. The bracket is now complete.






More painting tomorrow.
I want to get all the white painting done asap. Then on to fair the transom gelcoat, mount the bracket and the motor so I can get all that stuff out of my garage and be done with the back of the boat.
