My project boat

[loudsubz]

how much did you pay?

[davinci]

Thanks Mike...but that's my driveway in the pic (very exited) I met the transporter in New York.

Ok so the motor and tranny are on the way, i've attached some pics of the engine compartment and was wondering if anybody has any tips or things i should do or prepare before i drop the engine in. I'm sure there are alot of things that won't be easy to get to later.The rudder and lever are also on the way.

omg that is huge project... good luck

Wow, definetly no engine! lol

I can't offer much advice as I am new to the V-drives (but I have replaced an engine on a bowrider). Do you have the engine mounts and related hardware?

Clean and restore everything in that engine bay and study up on the alignment procedure. Have you gotten a repair manual? Or parts book?

Well, it looks like a fun project, I would love doing something like what your doing! I'll be looking forward to your progress.

wow, huge project.... can't wait to see the progress. finally got to see where the ballst drain pumps are mounted...

good luck,

i assume you are on the east coast since you took delivery in NY..

looks like ya need the muffler and a rudder as well but ya prob have that coming as well , i'd look at the g111 ballast upgrade projects on here .

I would suggest regluing your transducer. Most of us have --- on the depth gauge after a while. Once the the glue get air under it, it stops giving depth information.

Check the steering by turning the wheel to see if its steers free and easy. If its stiff in anyway water has rusted in the housing and will need replacing.

If it were me I'd think about upgrading the ballast system to one of tsumani project seen here on the forum.

greatlakeskipper.com has a lot of moomba and supra parts. You might check them out if you still need items. I know I saw a SC tower awhile back. Xtp in maryville can help with the tower I'd call them direct.

Hi Aqua thanks for the info, can you be a little more specific on the transducer and where to apply the glue exactly...Thanks

I tried to contact the people about this boat a while back but never got any response. Looks like a fun project. Good luck and I hope you keep us posted on any progress!
