Winter Upgrades...?

[Guest]

Anyone planning any major/minor boat upgrades over the winter?

 

[460]

Pump rebuild and add some stereo stuff.

You?

I'm gonna install a button on my steering wheel. Right where my left thumb rests. Yes, I still have both thumbs

[mariley85]

[Hammer]

Upgrading from being Boatless this winter.....

 

[Phebus]

Fuck boating. Going surfing.

 

[Tom Brown]

I'm going to charge my battery.

 

[Phebus]

On the recommendation of others, I'm going to change my prop.

 

[dread Pirate]

Hope I can find the $ to build a new motor for the daytona. With the kids racing juniors it isn't easy.

To a jet? Blasphemy!

Gonna replace the floors, carpet and part of a rotten stringer in my Malibu outboard. Inspired to DIY by another thread here. And maybe re-build my Yammy 200.

 

[ka0tyk]

tearing everything out, capping the hull, and painting it white with a grey cap and a yellow pinstripe. filling ALL the holes in and drilling all new ones. interior, dash, transom, fuel fills, fixing up the bottom scratches, etc. cant wait to have a whole new boat.

Have to rebuild the motor in the schiada

Have to rebuild the spare motor for the crackerbox

Have to completely take all the glass and wood off the bottom of the crackerbox and install new wood and new glass

Have to fix the fiberglass on the mini schiada and install the 1200cc waverunner motor and jet and all the rigging

 

[plaster dave]

Might do new interior

 

[boatnam2]

I think Im going to pull the motor to fix a undetermined oil leak, maybe put some heads and a cam on it while its out. Have the oil soaked carpet removed from bilge area and add 2nd battery. Oh and hopefully get a little bigger prop

 

[Waterheater]

Since I never got around to putting the motor back in mine this summer. I think I'm going to try and do it this winter. If I have time.

 

[Weekend Therapy]

New guages, steering wheel, replacing all the blue ano hardware with polished and getting rid of the bow rails.

Next winter will be interior and bimini.

Ummmmm didn't you just build the motor for the Schiada?

 

[Havasu Hangin']

F-winter!

 

[Lunatic Fringe]

New interior, new gauges, switches and controls for the Formula.:thumbsup

 

[cave]

The Usual. Rebuild the engine. Freshen the pump & maybe add a few goodies. Run it all winter just in time to break it in July again. :grumble: :thumbsup

 

[stspdr]

Finishing up replacing my transom and adding knee braces. Mounting the motor on a jack plate. Upgrading to dual cable steering. Installing a water pressure gauge.

 

[HavasuHank]

Hopefully selling it.

 

[Hammer]

Hopefully selling it.

Time for an upgrade ?

 

[HavasuHank]

Time for an upgrade ?

that would be the plan, but it depends on a number of circumstances. i might even lay low for a year and save up even more cash.

 

[28Eliminator]

Gauges, change out all the hardware to polished, new rub rail. And new dual ram full hydraulic steering.

Complete interior referb. EFI and Blower. Probably go for broke and pull floor and add gunwale and second bulkhead supports. In the middle of gauges,switches, lights, blower and hosing atm.

 

[Boschma]

Hopefully add a stereo....nothing crazy. Head unit 4 speakers and maybe 1 sub.

 

[bigriver48]

Tweed interior on the Rogers .

 

[jetboatmatt]

Well we purchased a house in Rancho Cucamonga and it has a tandem Garage so there's all my upgrades!!! I'm stoked I will have a place to work on my boat now!!
I would like a New Bimini and hatch lift.
I upgraded my stereo this summer because we didn't use the boat much.
Planning on going to the river a few times next summer depending on House upgrades!!!

 

[ROZ]

I've already rebuilt 4 seat bases, with 2 containing downfiring mid base subs, so id like to finish installing the remainder of the stereo equipment and an additional battery.

Since the boat has dark colors with dove grey vinyl and black carpet, its hot as fuck. I'm thinking about replacing the boat interior with white and silver accents. There's a guy in Escondido who does great work at an excellent price.

[djunkie]

No.

MK, did you see that mini Daytona on eBay last week? Sweet mini boat with tandem axle trailer, would rival Dave's schiada!

Oh no you didn't just say that.

 

[Stainless]

Yeah, it was nice! Guy was asking 5K without power. Add said he used it for photo-ops and to advertise rims.

 

[WESTERNAERO]

I've already been machining all new gear for the Dimarco. Pillow blocks, turnbuckles, pins, tapered lock nuts are finished. Need to make plates, shaft, arm, etc. all from stainless. Down peddle - lock handle assembly, strut, motor and trans mounts, stringer rails, rudder the list goes on and on. Hopefully everything will be done by winter and installed during.

I think we need to keep this thread rolling as people update there boats through out the winter add your pics. Or just start a thread of your own, but I thought it would be nice to have them all in one place.

 

[Crazyhippy]

I plan on adding a bunch of hours.to mine
