    Default My 86 Supra sunsport build thread !!

    Well this boat proved to me its worthy of putting some money into it so here it goes from start to finish,, That is when ever it gets finished! 350 hours - 351 - SMP trailer was hammerd and it has 2 soft spots n the floor so I used it till the end of summer and put some serious hours into re fabing the trailer with new metal, fenders, wood, carpet, led lighting, base coat/clear and i am in search for some aftermarket wheels!!

    We purchased it mid august just to see if we liked inboards and turns out it was like driving a corvette on water compared to my celebrity status 201 cuddy, anyway





    NOTICE that Beat up trailer!! It took me about 300$ in steel and another $200 in led lighting + new wiring + new rollers + base coat/Clear coat and looks good as new now, Just need to upgrade the wheels and tires! We had to cut off both sides completly and fab the new metal in presses, Grind-Weld-Primer- Paint and purchased new fenders! All in All everything worked out great!

    Well thats all this weekend, Im dropping the interior off this week to get redone and I stripped most of the parts off the upper section of the boat, Next time I get it over the shop Ill be tearing the floor up and prepping for paintwork!

    MY PLAN: Paint upper section white mid section blue and bottom stripe black, New Decals, new interior, New stereo, polk db tower speakers,led lighting, fog tower lights, new carpet , powdercoat window frame and tint glass, New gauges, new steering wheel, Removing Teak wood etc etc balasts will be decided as i tear into it

    No soft spots in the floor? Personally I would do a couple other major items before I painted her lol like dual battery with SurePower seperator relay, board racks, mirror and ballast. Ballast project can get spendy quick. Lots of parts add up. I mean naturally if its in the budget, all those things are gonna look SIICK! Personally I've gotta play it pretty tight. Stereo bumps but I worked to keep the price down a lot. Lookin good!

    Yeah there is 2 soft spots that need fixed, I think im just going to redo the entire floor since Ive got it this far! I bought board racks and wake surf rack + new wakeskate and wake surf boards which I keep near my computer to motivate me over the winter to get this project done!

    I found a local marina that would do my stringers and floor for 1800$ since I have it allready separated but he all ready has so many of these that he can not get to mine till next fall! lol i can't win! I had to pull the boat outside and it freaking snowed 22 inchs and another 8-10 inches on the way so im never going to get it working on it!! Im trying to find an easy way out but I guess im just going to have to go for it








    These are just reference pics for the motor, I had the boat completly stripped down to just stringers and motor but my phone sd card popped out so that pictures our lost untill I located it, If I ever find that little thing!!

    My plan was to tackle it myself but it turns out im taking the Hull with just the motor and stringers to Chris in pittsburgh, Here is a link to his build

    https://forum.supraboats.com/showthread.php?t=4177

    When I sent out the check to the marina for my dock space my nerves got shot !! lol After he gets this part of it done and I put it back together I still got a lot of work so Im taking it to him with in the next 2 weeks


    I WOULD HAVE MORE PROGRESS PICTURES IF WE DIDN"T HAVE ALMOST 3 FT OF SNOW IN MY BOAT!!!

    I didn't know you had all that other stuff for interior, that is very impressive and you are gonna be SO happy with it!! My jaw dropped once I got nearer the bottom of that list, you are really doing it right!! You got that tower for a steal! Q: Rollers on the trailer???
