Bringin the Red Back
Update Time:
I've been able to get work quite abit lately as the weather has warmed up considerably. I got a few new goodies in the mail this week, the CIBA Comp mirror, which I love to use b/c you can see the skier from side to side, and a Uniden Depth Finder. Both items came from ebay and am happy with the quality! I ran the buffer on Friday evening and this morning. There is RED under there, all this time I thought I had bought the only pink supra in the country. (I actually had a gas station attendant tell me she liked my pink boat the night I brought it home.)
I had some help taking out the front skeg bolts b/c the two that go through the pylon mount were loose. We slapped some magic Krylon on the base, squeezed some silicon around the bolt holes and sucked them down tight!
We also started putting the interior back in which I think is looking great compared to what it was! Also pictured is where I cut an access area under the passenger side w/s. Instead of the single wrap around spotters seat back, I split it into two and hinged the front one up...see pictures.
There are a couple pics of my launch attempt, but a dead battery caused me to not leave the trailer. The trip wasn't a total loss as I found that the rope shaft seal was leaking a steady stream. I'm gona try to tighten it up and see if it will seal. The depth transducer that I got is supposed to have a hole cut in the bottom of the boat, but I just stuck it to the floor w/ some silicon and am going to see if that will work before I cut a 2" hole.
Sorry to drag on and on but that's what I've been up to.
I Appreciate Comments!
