[dschifan]

Could you share how much this is setting you back?

Will shoot u a pm later. Lets just say the wife is pissed lmao!

 

[Don Johnson]

Dustin, your boat is looking so f'ing good. Can't wait to see you and the boat in the hood soon. We will be out back to back, this weekend and next. Any chance Great White will see the water in the next couple weeks?

Don't worry, We are both in the same boat, mine just so happens to be with the motor rebuild from literally the ground up... Only thing reused was block and heads.. :skull

Maiden voyage should be desert storm then hopefully every weekend after!

 

[Don Johnson]

OK, see ya soon!

I broke the boat last time out, bad couple of teeth on the flywheel that were slowly going bad all last summer, finally died.... Motor is out today and back in tomorrow on the water Saturday!

Colors are perfect! I like the headrest design a lot better then on mine. You did a great job taking a good design and making it better in my opinion! What are the back of the seats going to look like? Did you mount speedos in the backs? If not maybe consider that.

Honestly it was my wifes design and color scheme she has a good eye. The backs are going to be pearl metallic black gelcoat to match the black gel I had islander do on the windscreen area. I still debating on speedos. Thanks man!

She does have a great eye!

Do the speedos cause doing them after will be a nightmare running the tattletale/recall switches and power. I just replaced the antenna's on mine, upgraded from the battery powered pucks to powered antennas and that antenna can be mounted in the seat back hidden. No need to have the exposed puck any longer. If you are on the fence I say do it now. Additionally if you can run wires between the seats/speedos they can share a common antenna (save $250) so you don't have to buy an antenna for each speedo if you can run a single wire from seat to seat.

Looks like it is coming out very nice. Makes me want to upgrade mine in the next couple years.

super fun thread!! looks bad ass!!

I wish that place was closer. I'd love to get our interior re-done, but am pretty sure there aren't any good places near me.

Can't wait to see more pics of your boat as it continues to come together!

[shippingguy]

Looking good buddy! I am glad Danny is taking care of you! You cannot put a price on QUALITY! You get what you pay for!:thumbup: Don't worry about the speedos you can look at the two of mine when you are behind me!

Thanks man it really feels like I have a new boat after this is done. I possibly might be picking it up saturday then I start on the stereo install and couple motor things so should be no problem for desert storm!

Hey Mike, what are you doing to yours next year? Trip to Teague?

 

[shippingguy]

Hey Mike, what are you doing to yours next year? Trip to Teague?

Nothing much..gonna have the bottom blueprinted(straightened). Has some nasty hook in it. That alone will help it wake up. May do a pulley change too. Nothing major though. Was going to do the bottom this year, but ordered a new car instead!. We will be out the weekend after DS. Hope to see you out there. I will be out of town every other weekend till September so we plan on at least 1 trip a month.

 

[Don Johnson]

Cool Mike and I look forward to seeing you. We will also be out the weekend after Desert Storm and on the water for a friends 30th b day.

I will be yanking the motors in our boat this winter and Teague going thru them, it is time to freshen and turn them up a little.

 

[dschifan]

Back seat is almost done will be completed tomorro! Then install starts! Other pieces are done and some in boat but gonna hold out on postin pics of that till back seats are in

 

[dschifan]

Back seats came out amazing! So stoked beyond expectations! New pickup day is this Thursday so rest of assembled interior wont be till weekend!

 

[shippingguy]

[Don Johnson]

[SJP]

Awesome project. It is coming out amazing. :thumbsup

 

[dschifan]

No don we didnt. Was gonna be another grand time two speedos hardware, sending unit and installation kym was not liking it maybe because I just bought a set of motors! Lol. I could not pass up the deal so was saving all I could

 

[Don Johnson]

New motors, tell me about them. Wow, congrats. She really is going to be new in all respects.

 

[dschifan]

New motors, tell me about them. Wow, congrats. She really is going to be new in all respects.

Same motors I have now but they are built and low hour. 40 hp more per motor then I am going to save my motors now for spare parts and have spare lowers fuck the fuel economy I was gonna do xs motors but this was to good to pass up and now I will have two spare blocks in a worse case scenario !

 

[dschifan]
