Tree?    I thought there was going to be NO wood in this boat!  

Need some more pics Bob!  When's the 740s going in?  

Inquiring minds want to glow!

Thanks Skoot for the CAS logo  

No Problem at all, glad it worked out out for you.

John, when I get the box back from Frank, the Garmin will go in.  May go pick it up Thursday if he has it done.  Until then, no Garmin, no Icom, no Fusion...

Alright, alright, enough of the hoopla...  

Anyway, Scott wanted to see pics of his Seastar cylinder and tie bar.  Knew ALL wasn't right with the tie bar the other day, as I knew that the trunnions that came with his original would have to be used to obtain the 2 axis' of rotation one needs when tilting 1 motor while the remaining motors stays in the water.  Shortened the bar as much as I could, threaded the ends all the way on, the threaded rods all the way in, got rid of the jam nuts (the hollow tube now acts as a big long jam nut)...and got 25 3/4" centers, which is what I was aiming for with 26" centers at the prop shafts.  Anything narrower and cutting will have to take place!!

Bar and cylinder...



Starboard motor tilted all the way, port motor trimmed in all the way...



Now she's good to go...

Just watched Bob's video on youtube. Scott you have a really sharp boat. By now it must be the most famous Aquasport around. Bet you want to get it back soon for the big pond. I'm just down the road in Punta Gorda, you going to let me borrow it for awhile?

[gran398]

John, thanks very much! Yes, am getting excited! Looking forward to meeting the guys too

Come on over to Weeki Wachee and join us

What video?  Did I miss a new video?  

Edit: never mind... oh that video...  duh.

[seabob4]

No new video Bruce...but I did make a trip down to ALMOST Lakeland this morn to Frank Snell's place, picked up the electronics box, the trim ring for the footrest, and the proper sized console door.

So, you guys wanted to see the electronics.  Well, installing that box was no easy chore, basically had to take it all apart and install one piece at a time, as we wanted no visible fasteners.  Took some time and effort, but here's the result...







What I have to deal with on the back side, pretty easy.  Still need to secure the Icom with back mounts, but not today.



This is a view while I'm standing, pretending I'm Scott's height (5'10" versus my 6'2").  Because of the depth of Scott's box, I wanted to kinda keep things within his view, sitting or standing...hence the proximity of the stereo to the VHF.  I think Scott (I know ME!) would have liked the mounting face a bit less deep, but, at this point, it is what it is.



So where did this come from?



Time to head offshore in the fog, Scotty!!    

[RickK]

Looks good.  The extra depth gives you room to throw your wallet and other doo-dads for safe keeping.

[love2fish]

is this the ebox where the lid will lift up and then slide back along the top of the electronics so its out of the way?
looks sharp with the hidden fasteners.
