Next up was to mock up the rest of the transom including the swim steps (yet to be polished)
I also punted on the Carbon Fiber dash. We discussed it and given that nothing else was black on the boat, it looked out of place. So, went after making a Stainless dash panel that would be blinging to match all the rest of the polished metal. Damn that stuff is tough to polish! Also added boost, oil pressure, fuel pressure, water temp, volt and fuel level gauges.
While I was at it, I built a riser out of some aluminum to raise the diverter handle so it would clear the tunnel tops.
Motor setting where it needs to, pump and steering rigged in place as well as the swim steps and rub rail.
In the previous pictures you can also see my first cut at the blower belt cover. I like to use for sale signs for pattern material as they're cheap, super easy to cut and hole their shape better than paper or cardboard.
And now transferred over to some 1/8" aluminum plate.
Next up is to get some 4" aluminum tig'd to the sides and then polish
