Thanks for posting these items.
Where were the hard ballast tanks installed? In each of the back storage lockers?
I would also be interested in the ballast manifolds as well.
Thanks, Bill...

It is a sunbrella. Thanks for the compliment
Will throw in my .02 Our 2003 was covered graphics and oxidation when purchased. To make the wet sanding much easier I took off all the graphics with plans to replace them with something more...
Wow, that is really bad luck. I don't have any advice but I hope it works out in your favor.
What dealer was it that sold it to you?
Edit: I figured out it was McGoy's Toys. What a redneck...
I pay $195 for enclosed storage around Lake Lewisville in Dallas. It does give me access to a private ramp at the marina but it still hurts to write that check.

No more graphics.
I cleaned off the old trim and installed this. Easy to install and looks nice and clean.

I used this carpet when I redid mine this winter. So far so good. Hoping it stays nice and soft...
Took a little trip up to Lake Texoma. The boat is happy to be back into the sun.

Great looking boat. Fill that thing up and get it on the lake!
Next time I will get better photos of the face wave under normal conditions. Only two of us in the boat with no fuel and 500lbs of ballast wasn't a very good test to see if I cut off enough. Taking...
Hi everyone, first time on the lake this weekend so I thought I would check in with some photos.
Rounded off the edges and scuffed up everything for pad install.

Nice to see it is finally getting a little warmer in our area. Recent rains are helping the lakes and we are ready for summer!
Feeling motivated I started back on the interior project. The carpet...
All good points about the rail and its usefulness. However the gap between the rail and the platform bothered me and I was ready to trash it. I caught my toe in that gap last summer and boy did...
With the excess cut away it appears that my simple idea might work out.
Measurement of how thick the platform is now.

First cut made and a shot of the tools used: First cut was made with a 4 1/2 angle grinder with a metal cut off disk. It worked really well except that it did't go all the way thru. To finish the...
Update time. Still waiting on parts has enabled me to work on fun stuff this week.
Cover your eyes if you don't like seeing stock fiberglass chopped up.
Swim platform design: There are two...
Excellent work. You brought that boat back from the dead. I'm sure you are looking forward to spring time.
Monday update:
Carpet work:
Got all the carpet removed. The effects of the previous owner leaving it outside for a few years are gross. Lots of cleaning in my future.

All good advice. Unfortunately I have compounded this boat once before. It was heavily oxidized when we purchased it two years ago.
It's no fun but the results are worth it!
Took off the LAUNCH and SSV logo. Wet sanded up to 2000. The picture doesn't do a good job showing how rough the gel coat is now. Polishing and waxing will make it like new.

Thread resurrection!!
The last two summers with this boat have been great. Boat now has 300 hours so it seems to be getting used enough to justify having it. Minor issues like batteries, the...
Happened to me last year. Easy fix and is now included in the start up list every time we go out.
Delayed response: oops
I do find that the driving lights are useful. Especially coming into a slip or trying to get on a trailer at night. If anything they make me much brighter on the water...
