Just recieved my transom lights and Interior LEDs 22 of them white/blue

BLINDING, I had to close my eyes for a little bit just so I could see

This will definitly light up tygart lake at night since its so clear once everyone goes in when the sun goes down!
They look AWESOME!!! Guess it's a night-cruise kinda summer! I really miss those...
Lookin' great!
I get confused everytime I go to a lighting site for LED's Where'd you get yours for the interior??? I've looked at Oznium a few times and I don't know which led's to buy for my cabin.....
http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL132.../387485273.jpg
Well today I brought this inside so that I can put another 12+ hour day in, Plans are to wet sand and buff the whole thing, Pre Wire all the new gadgets, Remove the old speedo's and switches to get the panel recoverd in black, Wire up all the led lighting! Cutting 6x9's out of the old 6.5 holes, Carpeting the gunwhales also! LOTS TO DO
http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL132.../387485271.jpg
And this was motivation to get my freaking boat done! Went down to the lake to put in my buddy's Cobalt 454mag fi,385hp Freaking thing runs 73 mph!
OZnium is where I got the interior LED's, They are bright and you only have to drill a small hole and they mount in it like its factory, Im putting a few of them in the gunwhales and in all the cup holder's, Couple facing the playpen etc etcQuote:

Looking good! You're getting close. It's interesting to see some of the little differences between my 89 and some of the older models.

wetsanded the top with 1000 then 1500 then 2000 then 2 stage buffed and waxed! Looks like new!
Anyway I got way more then this done today, In fact if things work out right tomarrow the top will be mated to the bottom!
Wow, that turned out great!
http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL132.../387815606.jpg Its amazing to me that the hulls rivets Lined up! Everything lined up great! I had a little issue with the gas tank but thats fixed now! So I must say I give mad Props to Chris on the stringer job!
http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL132.../387815607.jpg
Lots of parts to bolt on! I also recieved all my powdercoated items to install But that will be next week
Powder coated tower legs look great....Nice job sir.......
Lookin' good brother!
Oh and Just a FYI, We put the top CAP on with 4 people with ease, So if you wanted to remove the top and don't have a lot of money or a lift of some type it can be done with out no issues! ID actaully advise more then 4 just to be safe though!
Looking really good. So did you powder coat the whole tower?
Love it. On the water next week?

Well I got 3/4 of the windshield installed to find out the tint was on the wrong side of 2 window's but its basically done, Im hoping to get the gauge cluster piece off the interior guy tomarrow so I can get the new gauges/switches installed then comes setting the timing to 6 degrees Before TDC and Going over all the stuff under water with 5200 and the rub rail with 4200! Then Ill just have to get a 5 gallon bucket and take it to the lake for its first lake TEST! After that its a waiting game till the interior guy gets done!
Im really liking the black/light blue/bone look now sinces its all coming together now!
Im so far past what I planned to spend on this boat but I just don't care, The more I work on it the more I want everything to be perfect and Done right!
I bought a new marine clarion headunit with wired remote that has a lcd display and controls my ipod and Whats cool is I mounted it where my Tach was and im just going to have one speedo and Tach since I use my gps for true speed anyway while boarding! Ill take pics after I get the dash panel back and installed and cutting the 6x9's out was a awesome move, Sounds 100 times better and I do recommend polk db Speakers to anyone! I also have polk Tower speakers and amp to mount but I can not get it in the garage when I put the tower up so Thats LAST! 8 Speakers should sound interesting!
It's coming along nicely. I bet you're looking forward to the water test.
Very nice, cant wait to see it back in the water. Love the tower choice, really flows with the lines of the boat....
I got the whole tower powdercoated But the flanges and mounts, It kind matches the steering wheel cleats gas cap etc etc! Its looking awesome!Quote:

Since I got to wait for a maybe another 2-4 weeks I came across a decent priced power boat that I bought yesterday and am picking it up in a couple hours, Its a Power Play 222 454 mag cuddy that I will be selling after my boat is done, Well Maybe we will see once I get it in the water this weekend hopefully! Its nice but its not a supra! My ol'lady Hates boats that have to trim and floor it to get the front down! Hence the supra Build!
Oh no. Your Supra will get jealous. Better keep new girl on Down Lo. I love that blue on your boat BTW. I would have never guessed powder blue but it works.
You've gotta post pics of the new boat at least...
Will Do, Tomarrow or sunday If the RAIN ever quits!Quote:

This is the boat I just picked up to buy time till the supra is 100 percent done RIGHT! With summer here I get impatient so this boat will buy time to do things Right!
Needless to say its not a supra but it will get us on the water till the supra does!
I wondered what you were doing with that thing...it sounds pretty gnarly.....bett'in it throws a bit of wake too!!!!
Well back to work on the supra!

Switches and gauges are finally all wired up!

http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL132.../388320110.jpg
Windshield finished up, Clarion headunit w/wired remote where the rpm gauge was, Polk DB 6x9's Sounds awesome, Just need to get the tower up to hook up my amp and polk tower speakers

Thats my wired remote with lcd display, As for the opening im awaiting for the depthfinder gauge to come in!Quote:

20%, And Yeah I powdercoated the windshield frame so I just tinted them while it was apart!Quote:

Again, lookin' real nice!
Im assumming you have rivets where I have stainless 1/4 screws,Quote:

To remove you have to unbolt the base of the windshield frame by removing the rubber to gain access the phillips screws and 8mm, then just pull off section by section!
Thanks. Yeah, the windshield's already off and in 5 pieces. I've got rivets, so figured I could drill them out on one side of the frame to give me enough wiggle room to remove the panes and gasket.
You're close - keep up the great work.
Looking really good. So where you planning on mounting the perfect pass gauge? ;-)
