Yeah, definitely more info. Are you making it just "look" like a woody or is it now actually a woody?

All Mahogany and varnish. many more coats to go after engine installation. 4 inch side exaust with the orig rubber mufflers. new custom windscreen,wood steering wheel,instruments.leather interior to done this winter. 351 gt40 RH rotation all painted and prettied up to go in next week. Just got to float it to find water line for a stripe and copper bottom paint. I will post more pics soon.

So side/bottom exhausts AND rear exhausts? Is there a butterfly valve in there somewhere?

Looks really sweet. Can you maybe explain whats going on in these pics? Some of them I cant quite figure out. Why the tiny swim platform?

It's actually a bit bigger than you imagine.... but I don't think he's building a ski boat. He's building an old-style resort boat. Something like a 50s chris craft or century... and it looks like a cockpit, and then rear seating cockpit. It's going to be gorgeous.

Imagine this, except with the engine in between the two cockpits.

I will put more pics when i get them. The side exaust are ss 4" with built in flappers and the rear are for looks out of the water just a neat way to block the holes and still are useable if needed. The swim platform is small but looks awesome on the boat. more pics to come thanks for chatting

So beautiful! How did you make the new top cap? Plug and mold?
