    Hey there...fellow Supra Comp TS6M lover.

    Wondering if you would be willing to help me out. I have taken on a similar project myself. I have a problem though...I never got a measurement for the motor mounts before I had a fiberglass guy redo all my floor stringers.

    Would you be willing to take a couple measurements from your boat so I know I am at least in the ballpark?

    I was thinking about getting a measurement from the gap between the transmission flange and the prop flange down to maybe the prop flange that is fiberglassed to the bottom of the hull.

    If you are willing to help...my number is 218-303-6486. If not, I understand.

    Thanks,

    Benjamin Carlisle

    Well guys, its been a long road but we are complete. Want to give a thanks to all that had great input and advice during the bad times, sure did learn a lot about these boats in the process, it was all greatly appreciated! Want to give a special shout out to lively for helping me solve an issue that had haunted this boat for years! Now time to enjoy and name it….

    Congrats for seeing this through to completion, you'll be happier every time you hop in the boat knowing how solid it is, and that you didn't spend 80k on a new boat.

    Cheers!

    (this is, without a doubt, in my future with my all-original-structure '89)...

    Looks great. Thanks for taking us through the resto process. I'm sure this thread will be useful to others.

    Has anyone ever put in a small drain through the main stringers to allow any residual water to escape from the outside stringers foam? I think a couple members have. Viewing Michael's thread had me thinking...

    I noticed after our rebuild we had a small amount of water by the exhaust ports and we traced the water coming in from the bottom of the rub rail (Silicone must of let go in a couple spots while we did the rebuild). We have since fixed it but for future would it be a good idea to put in a drain incase of any water that could get there?

    Those holes are called limber holes. Most boats have them and unfortunately our 80's model Supras did not. But yes, when you're doing a rebuild they're a great idea.

    Does anyone have the passenger limit and passenger weight limit . I've been told several times by DNR THAT this should be display. My 85 supra comp tsm6 label has fadedand isn't legible.
    Thanks GClarkbar

    If you're boat is under 20 feet (like a comp) then you are required to have a passenger and weight placard. Over 20 feet and it's not required.
