Hey great work on your restoration looks great!!! Quick question I also have a 2006 21v and since yours is all taken apart, can you see if tracking fins have a nut on top side or if it’s a threaded plate. Also does tank have to be removed to get to? I have a bent tracking fin and didn’t know if I could just back out the hex head bolts and remove or if the process would be more involved for removal. Drives fine way it is but want to fix at some point. Thanks Ryan

Labor of love for sure. Good luck with water test!
Did you have to replace or redo any of the wiring? Was it difficult? Reason I ask is a month back I hooked up a connection wrong on the battery and smoked something under the console. Lost all my gauges and stereo. Every shop I've taken it to acts like its the end of the world for my boat and might be impossible to fix. The local Supra dealer wont even look at my boat because of how old it is. ('05 Launch 24 SSV). Anyway, I guess I'm just looking for something positive that I haven't ruined my boat. Thanks. Wish I had the patience to rebuild something like you. Its going to be a great boat once you finish. Good Luck.
I just don’t think many shops know much about electrical troubleshooting these days and with all the new business it seems like they just don’t want to help. Did you ever look for a main breaker in the doghouse? Everything on your boat is protected electrically so I really don’t think you smoked anything. If you were in AZ I’d look at it for you.

One thing I wanted to say here about this project. If anyone ends up having their engine rebuilt, having the rotating assembly balanced is worth every penny!! I have never seen a 5.7 run so smoothly. You could put a glass of water on top of it at idle and there wouldn’t be a ripple.
And a little update on how it runs, the V drive that never held oil for more than 5 min last summer is super quiet now. Before it would whine in reverse really loud. The rudder is nice and tight, strut bushings being replaced took the last bit of vibration out of the driveline. This is seriously a brand new 2006 boat again. I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome. If anyone goes down this road, feel free to reach out. I have seen every square inch of this boat inside and out. Hopefully one day this post helps someone else out.

I looked at the breaker box and although a few of the breakers were popped, I couldn't really tell if anything worse had come of it. Finally found a local guy here that took my boat to see what he can do. His shop has a great reputation in town. He seemed to think I may have only melted a few wires but wont know for sure till he dives into it. Keeping my fingers crossed.
The big dealers here are only concerned with selling boats. Most of their service departments only do minor repairs and general service and if you didn't buy the boat there then forget it it. They wont even touch it.
Amazing job!
We have an 02 Launch SSV that I am trying to keep going. We have run it for the last 15 years and it has served us well. We did notice a lack of power this year for surfing. I checked compession and it is good in all cylinders. I changed the plugs and am going to replace distributor and wires. We will try a different prop in the Spring.
I wish that I had your skills in fabbing. I would love to replace our swim deck as it digs into the wave pretty badly. If you still have the mold and are looking for another project this winter, I would be very interested in buying a replica of yours.
Also, the play on our throttle/transmission housing has become dangerously loose. I saw that you rehabbed yours. Any advice to help repair this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, and again, fantastic restoration!
