Went and saw the boat today and everything looked good, I didn't want the pylon anymore so it was cut off since it wouldn't budge! That SOB is solid aluminum and I bet you it weighs at least 25lbs!

You will love it without the pylon it is much roomier for the driver and passanger, and you can actually have a 3rd person sit in the middle too! Not to mention it makes sitting on the doghouse much nicer.

Seems like you opened a huge can of worms. At least when completed the boat will brand new other than the gel coat. It was this thread that got me moving to get my Supra ship shape. I just hope tand pray he dammage is not to the extent of yours.
Keep up the good work, the open water is waiting for you!!!
These pictures are getting me motivated to buy more stuff online for the boat! lol
Everything looks good
Soon it will be back together and then comes the Paint + Interior + wiring + guages + etc etc etc
Looks like it's getting really close. It's interesting to see the differences in the way people rebuild these.
Almost done! So is there going to be any cuts in the floor for the ski pole? Access to the bilge?
I see the back section has a 1/2 overlap and then it's open for the removable section of floor back there. Pretty much the only way to do that, as far as I've seen.
No ski pylon going back in and Im going to cut the rest of the holes in it for the bilge and access - vents etc etc
Im going to have it back at the shop this week so Ill have some better pictures!
