FINALLY building a boat !

[Travmon]

I have been boatless for the last 4-5 years which suks as I live across the street from the public launch and get to see everyone putting in . I have a couple jet boats that have slowly been working their way through major restorations and I think I am seeing the light on one of them. Ordered all parts needed and got all the powdercoating back so I should have something in the water this summer!!

This one is a Bahner with new stringers and paint running a somewhat stock 460 that I will probably use a little and sell with a matching something ? So much work goes into one of these deals some days its hard to see the light. I now see the light at the end of the tunnel. Probably gonna have some questions here and there. Also going to attempt rebuilding the pump myself, did some reading and it does not seem like a big deal for a stock rebuild.

Not a go fast deal but a very clean reliable boat for a 5 mile long lake that will have some appeal to a future buyer. Going to try and get the woodwork ( seats, hatch etc ) done over the holidays and hopefully off to upholstery in march or so .

I like the flathead machine screws in the tips

I made them for Mike at Rex Marine for years. His were countersunk as well.
