1989 Saltare - My god Spock, what have I done???

I know I'd like to see the gutting of the floor and stringer rebuild pics all the way to putting the interior back in. The engine and the rest don't matter as much to me. But seeing your boat gutted allows me to look at mine, without gutting it yet, and plan things.

I would love to see the restoration pics. Awesome lights in the video.

Just found this one from last year on the Moomba/Supra Texas Jam facebook page. Good motivation to get me going on the winter projects since winter is over & I haven't done squat.

The reflection off the side is looking nice.

Thanks, still need to tackle my folding floating bimini idea, repair a rear seat brace, add a 2nd 12V outlet in the storage pod, redo the insulation inside the doghouse, etc. - I don't think it ever ends.

Finally figured out the big pic stuff - you know, old dogs & new tricks...

mike, where did you get the surf rack on the top? I'm looking for something like that right now

A machine shop marketed them under the Endless Wave name, but ceased production a few years back. I picked mine up during a group buy a year or so ago when they ran a limited production run to get rid of remaining parts inventory, but don't think they're available any longer.

What kind of tower is that?

[sybrmike]

It's a Titan II. Admittedly, the styling's not for everyone but I like it & went for function over looks - stainless tubing, wishbone front end, heim joints, collapsible with one bolt, etc. It's strong as heck (no movement even under hard cuts on the slalom - glad I heavily reinforced the mounts) and rattle free. Unfortunately, it's designed to collapse with the rear hoop laid down to the rear & the front hoop leaned back against the windshield & for me that leaves the peak of the front hoop to high to fit under the garage header so have to R&R each outing. But overall, I really like it.
