That is gonna be one sick boat when done! Very nice! Your son is lucky to be helping his old man with a project. I could only wish.

Thanks very much and thanks for the help getting signed back on.

That's a good start on the updates. I'm headed out to the shop now to pull the motor and begin breaking the boat back down for powdercoating and getting the pump double drilled by Matt and Darin at White Flag Racing.

Still have to mount the AIS water/meth system and being wiring and plumbing. Then it's assembly time.

Still dont know what I'm going to to with the trailer. It's super ugly but may have to stay that way this summer as I have to finish my telescoping tongue (cut the old tongue off) first.

In the meantime, we picked up another boat for my wife. 1983 AquaLark Mni. 8' long and 4' wide. LOL....gonna be a blast!

Sorry guys. Yah, I'm way behind on this thread.

I'll try to update it.

We got the pump in and I have to hand it to my son for the killer pump plates. They're 3 piece plates with the one mounted to the transom permanent and they really turned out great.



Also picked up some of the most obnoxiously neon pink powdercoated swim steps off of a guy. Got the powder coating stripped and then polished them up. Much better

And lastly, we had set a goal to attend a big performance boat show in town. We had to be there at 10:00 on July 27th.
Well, on Wednesday night the 24th, the pump was still in pieces, there was no rubrail, we still needed to mount the headers and hook up the exhaust, finish plumbing and some wiring, get a driveshaft built, hook up the cables and install the interior. Oh, and a million other things.

Tony Skagen at Skagen Boats was great and did a bunch of work on the impeller and put the pump together. We picked it up and raced home where we got it bolted up to the intake and installed and sealed up the plates only to realize after all that that the pump had a slight noise and needed to go back to Tony on Thursday morning. Got it back to him the next day and he dropped everything and was able to fine tune it a bit to get that little noise to go away. Thanks again Tony!

Anyhow, the thrash was on and we fired it late Friday afternoon for the first time and celebrated a complete boat.

And by late Friday night we were essentially done. While we would like to say the fireworks were set off by the city for our accomplishment, it was probably for the big festival that was kicking off (which the boat show was part of).
