She looks in tremendous shape!  Welcome!

May have wired the console, but probably not, I was swamped with 225s and 250s at that time.  My friend Eddie Washington probably wired her...

Thanks for the compliments. I spent alot of time and elbow greese getting her back in that shape.

I do have a couple of questions.
1) What is the large compartment that runs under the console intended for? It's a huge area but with a very small hatch access. Seems like wasted space.
2) My two fish boxes in the floor are plumbed but empty into the bilge. Apears that they probably were at one time plumbed to a macerator pump that is no longer there. I would like to install a pump and was wondering where it was originally located. Also, what switch on the console operated it.
3) I need to find a supplier for the edge molding that goes around the bottom of the fish box doors and the large bow compartment door. If anyone has any info. it would be appreciated.

Thanks RickK,

This is a test to upload the grand vessel photos!

This is her behind the sellers home in Big Pine Key Fl in the canal under a tree uck!






We've just pulled her and pulled the plug no water?



Scrub a Dub-Dub with 3 gallons of bleach and acid wash





Not bad for $400.00



Clean engine



Capt Don delivers her to her new berth on the Atlantic



Timmy actually completely rebuilt this CC Aquasport including an all new sole
May you go with fair winds and following seas.

Seabob do you have any ideas to the above?

1 - The large compartment is the cover for the fuel tank.  Open the deck plate and you should see the tank in there.  There may be a bit of empty space depending on whether the boat got the standard tank or an optional bigger tank...
2 - Can't help with the switch location, but a macerator pump is a good idea, or just an overboard drain, compared to fish boxes draining in the bilge - hold your nose next time you open the bilge if fish guts and blood gets in there!  
3 - Taco marine products:  http://www.tacomarine.com/cat--Flexible ... _trim.html  

Hope this helps - see ya on the water!

Welcome aboard Mike, this is a great place to exchange knowledge, learn, poke fun... and just have a good time.  The difference between us and some of the others is we are all about Aquasports, and we share that common thread.  Sounds like a nice rig you have, send some pics when you get a chance.  SeaBob has a tutorial on how to post pics, he'll probably link you to it.  Have a good weekend.  :salut:

Thanks Dave, and everyone. I love this site, I trailer out of woonsocket R.I. To Oakland Beach Witch is upper third of the bay. I find it hard to post on this site because most of my questions get answered from previous posts!
