Awesome!!  

I think you need to have Quality add a few more rod holders though.

My bad.  Very similar in design to a Sanchez...

Man you ain't lieing there - you can get hooked coming out of the top from any direction  
Does look narrow though

swung by central marine this morning, motor was pulled along with all the harnesses and cables, should be crated later today and will pick it up later this afternoon

[wingtime]

Sweet motor!  That thing is gonna boogie!

[Aswaff400]

just picked the motor up, im excited!  the guy repowered with a new  250 suzuki 4stroke and central is sea trialing it tomorrow, its the grady white 225 walkaround you see in the back ground. he's excited also lol

got some glassing done, this week, knees are tied into the stringers, bulkheads completely glassed.


set all the tubes in place... 2, 3-inch rigging tubes, 2-1/2 inch tubes to the bilge, 3 inch holes for livewell drain/fill/washdown hoses. and put in rod/brush handle tubes for below deck storage.


tubes glassed in...


started to core the bottom with left over nidacore i had laying around. got the port side done but ran out of resin, definintly makes the boat sound a whole lot more solid

Looks really good Aaron    
In a way I wish I had a full transom on the 170, at least to have the ability to bring everything up to the stern easily.  Instead I have to build boxy things in the corners to house the access    
I don't think a full transom is suitable for a 170 - that means you're hanging a bracket off it for the motor to tilt, changing the CG which is bad for the little boat.

Good deal. Meat where the hull meets the sea is a good thing. Will also deaden hull slap.

thanks rick! she's finally coming together!! hope to have the deck in within 3  weeks. gotta get some more resin, and then paint the bilges. gonna be using interlux bilgekote, got a gallon of white for 63 bucks through my work. all of our mechanics use it when doing repower jobs on IO's or IB's. good paint, will stick to just about anything.

thats the idea  

the 2 cored areas i did today i used left over 3/4 inch nida core. will be using 1/2 inch nida core on rest of the bottom(have a sheet at work left over from a project)

Looking good, Aaron   I like the idea of under-deck rod storage tubes.

havent been getting to work on the boat as much as i'd like to over the last few weeks, im at 3 weeks without a day off <!-- s:ncool: -->:ncool:<!-- s:ncool: --> i told my boss im going to start working on my boat during down time to try and catch back up as we dont know when my next day off is, he said no problem <!-- s:cheers: --><!-- s:cheers: -->

so far all that i have left below deck is core the bow portion of the hull, everywhere else is done! i will finish that slowly this week and hopefully have most of the bilges painted... maybe able to get the deck in within a week or 2

earlier this week. sorry for the blurry pic... she feels 100% more solid, hitting the hull bottom with a rubber mallet, sounds like your hitting solid concrete almost no sound <!-- s:shock: --><!-- s:shock: -->



today i mounted the console to the tower and test fit it in the boat so i could mark where to through bolt the aluminum angle to the side of the stringers... gives the boat a whole new look...  <!-- s:cheers: --><!-- s:cheers: -->  <!-- s:cheers: --><!-- s:cheers: -->

No where is our "wolf whistle" icon  
Looking good man.  Need a clear version of pic #1 to explain what the white is in the forward area.

[Aswaff400]

that the unglassed nidacore ill take a better pic once i get it all bonded to the hull.

[RickK]

I went back a page and saw the other Nida coring going in - I forgot that you were/are doing that - sorry.
