[Skools Out]

well today all plans out window ended up pressure washing the cement so i only got the motor rigged only needs gas line and a battery and she will run wow i'm so ready.

[Bygracealone]

Ohhhhhh yeahhhhhh!!!

That baby looks nice and she's gonna scoot with that 225.

C'mon Skools, get that thing on the water and shoot some video for us. ;D

[Bygracealone]

Hey, I just noticed the boat doesn't have the windshields installed. Do you have a set or are you going to make them yourself ::)

[Skools Out]

well i had planned to install them today and to put the new rubrail on the boat but no time tomorrow though i hope.

[Bygracealone]

Of course, you mean after Church--right ::)

[Skools Out]

sorry BGA i missed it i slept in till 11 am then got to work on the 21 first thing an issue the old rub rail screws were 10 X 1" SS oval heads so i hunted around and went to ACE Hardware and bought a couple boxes of 10 X 2" screws for $13.67 a box, then layed a nice bead of 5200 and filled the gap between the cap and hull.got the rub rail out of the yard and started the stretching of the installation. the rub rail i layed out in the yard to get hott 2 days ago and left there. the insert put in the freezer so it would shrink. well we installed the rub rail and 120 screws later done then got the insert out and just pushed it in with no stretching so that way it won't shrink later on the boat a trick my Parker guy told me ;D Here's the pics of the rub rail installed see below isn't she a beauty. man such a difference.

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/Monoco%2021/MVC-002S-6.jpg

[Stinky_Hooker]

Looking good Skools! 8)

[Skools Out]

thanks so much there Stink, thought everyone for got me :( So what do you think about the blue rub rail for the V20? it has the light gray insert. Hey did Racer get his V painted this weekend?

[Stinky_Hooker]

I think it would look good.

Racer called me about it, but I dont know that he is willing to put in the time its really gona take to do it right. :-/


We will see....should hear from him again soon. ::)

[Bygracealone]

Nice!

Another fine job there Skools.

I think the blue insert might look good depending on what color you paint the boat or whether or not yot you put bottom paint and the color you choose for it.

Hey, what's up with Racer? How come we haven't seen him on the forum for a while?

[Skools Out]

well he was run off and someone here didn't like him and called him stupid several times so he left, i sure miss our Racer he kept things running nicely didn't he.

[macojoe]

i sure miss our Racer he kept things running nicely didn't he.

UMM................ NO!!

[reelapeelin]

Skools...thanks for the great pix!!...21 lookin' REEL good, there, Bro 8) ... she's on the home-stretch now ... oughtta be finished up pretty soon? ... when you think ready to go?...


If you're fixin' up the "V" for sale, stay w/black rub-rail...more universal appeal...JMHO ... ;) ...

[Bygracealone]

well he was run off and someone here didn't like him and called him stupid several times so he left, i sure miss our Racer he kept things running nicely didn't he.

Skools, I'm very sorry to hear this. I did appreciate his contributions to the list.

It would be great if people could control their emotions and not be so sensitive when they discover others don't agree with their opinions. :-/ Pride can be a terrible thing.

If you have contact with him, please let him know that I asked about him and that he's missed.

Thanks.

[Skools Out]

UMM................ NO!!

LOL

Thanks there Reel, I was thinking blue cause it's already here plus would look better than the aluminum but you are right.

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/other/Trailer-011S.jpg

[Skools Out]

well guys no pics but i started the motor today itwas crazy i hooked up the fuel lines, disconnected the VRO and put in some 40:1 premix and primed the bulb till tight then just thought since the motor has sat for 2 yrs i'll turn it over a bit without hitting the motor primer button and so i turned the key and the motor turned half turn and cranked scared me it started so fasti had the throttle and the shifter cables set dead on the money from the install, wow i was in shockall was perfect. she ran 30 to 45 mins with no hot spots or missing, that motor sounded so good made me wet lol. I let the motor sit about 2 hours in the hot sun and then turned the water back on hit key it fired right back up like a light switch. WOW i'm a happy boat Poppa *;D

[macojoe]

Whats the trade in vaule of my V20 ?? ;) ;D

[Skools Out]

well no trades sorry unless it's for another Vette lol

[willy]

Good job Skools, you da man ;)

[reelapeelin]

that motor sounded so good made me wet lol.




Well ya coulda got some video so we could ALL get WET ;) ;D ;D ;D ...share the wet 8) ...

[macojoe]

What if the V20 had a vette motor? ;D

[Skools Out]

Hum well if you're going to steal the motor then just take the whole car lol

[Bygracealone]

Skools, that's great buddy!!! Very cool and not surprising that everything was perfect from the install. You da' man...

Hey, how long is it safe to run an O/B hooked up to the hose? You got me all excited about running my engine.

[Skools Out]

well no different when idling in the water if the hose is hooked up just run it with out the hood so you can feel all cylinders, head bolts, spark plug base's, t-stat housings, and heads on all cylinders not a bad idea to do so anyway on a start up on a sitting motor. that way you feel to be sure you have no hot spotting on the cylinders or any plug fouling issues, but rev it up once and a while with it in neutral. i kept my hands all over this motors heads and plug and sides of the cylinders for hot spots or a warmer cylinder, all stayed same temp and ran perfect.

[Skools Out]

well just finished todays project i want to take the boat to the coast June 9th for it's first splash, going to the beach for a week to see the Big Rock and hope to ride all week on this puppy, i hooked all the fuel lines and fills up to night finally found the correct size vent hose this tank has 1/2 vent i was like wow hugh, well has battery tray and NEW battery installed and all gauges work and passed skools test and the bilge pump and float switch passed the skools test, all i found was a clearance issue on the tank hatch cover has been fixed with the router and has been epoxyed and sealed up. just needs floor painted and the jump seats installed wow i can't wait.

[Bygracealone]

Skools,

When you say "hot spots" are these spots something you can actually feel with your hands? If so, are you saying that the motor should never got too hot to touch?

I'm just trying to get this straight so that I know how to proceed.

Hey, I'm just as excited as you are to see how your boat performs on the water.

Wish I knew enough to put my boat through Skool's school tests ;D

[Skools Out]

hot spots are you don't want any spots on your motor hotter than others, like if one cylinder seems to be getting a whole lot hotter than the rest of the motor shut it down fast cause you are about to be loosing a cylinder, then you check to ensure that the carb is getting fuel for that cylinder and that the jets are stopped up. my 225 never got to the point that i couldn't rest my hand on any location for an extended time. ran cool the whole time as they should on a hose.

[Monkey Butler]

skools,

about the temps. I just got an '86 Yamaha V6 Special (220HP ?) and one side runs hotter than the other. One side is warm and I can keep my hand on it while the other is too hot to hold for more than 5 seconds. I used an infrared thermometer on it and it was around 90 degrees on one side and 150-160 on the other. I was guessing the 90 was a stuck open T-stat. I haven't had a chance to dig into it yet but am I guessing wrong?

[THEFERMANATOR]

The 90 sounds to cold and the 150-160 sounds to hot. I know my SUZUKI uses a 118 t-stat.

[Skools Out]

hey Talley is that the temps on water hose? if so it will run much cooler on a hose, due to water is cold out of the tap but on a hose it should be around 85 to 95 on temps that 150's will kill your motor in short time, change the t-stats before running again.

[Skools Out]

well after some work here she is

i sanded the inside floor and washed down then masked off the sides. put the paint in my shaker an added non-skid then put in shaker again, yeah the floor is done see pics what ya think?

Outside

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/Monoco%2021/MVC-001S-8.jpg

[msbhammer]

Thats one clean machine SKOOl. To clean to get wet. Glad she's done, so now its time for the Monster SKOOL House V-20 Rebuild...Right. ;D

[Skools Out]

well Hammer i hope no one minds if i start a V20 resto page like the 21, pics of her redo, first thing on the V20 will be to getthe saw out and cut the entire floor out and replace it.

[macojoe]

I just wish I had the money to buy this boat in the end!! Nice size boat, Like the Dual console but with the full windshield, you know its all new and ready to go!!

GreaT Job Skools, I am sure there will be no issues on the 9th!! Except cleaning her up for sale, unless you decide to keep it that is!

[Skools Out]

I sure hope the 9th goes well and yes it is to be for sale due to next i want to do the V20 wow can't wait to start with the V

[msbhammer]

We cant wait either for the v restore project. We will want a live feed into the Skool boat shop. ;D

[Bygracealone]

What in the world are you talking about by saying you hope we don't mind if you start another restore thread??? Buddy, we can't wait!!! ;D

Really, I can't wait to see what you're gonna do to that V.

Skools, that 21 is sick man! Or as our Boston boys would say, "It's wicked sexy" ;) Nice paint work bro. I like the decisions you made in determining where to apply the non-skid and where not to. Looking good...

[THEFERMANATOR]

How did you put the paint on the floor? Roll it? Or spray it?

[reelapeelin]

Skools, as usual...BEAUTIFUL WORK!!... when you taped off the curves around the drains etc, didja cut 'em w/X-acto or somethin'??...


I can see why you chose that boat for redo ... nice hull ... and if manufacturers did 1/2 the detail as you, boat sales would SURGE 8) ...counter-sinkin' the access was fo' SHIZZLE!!...


That's gonna be an AWESOME Sea-Trial!! 8) 8) 8) ...

[Skools Out]

i rolled the floor with a firm foam roller,

Reel that's an old painters trick, Lining tape for making flames and other graphics on autos. It's a vinyl tape that comes in different widths like 1/16" to 1" avail in every size between in 16th's, i used a roll of 7/16 for this app. you just run it under your finger and on corners you just twist your finger to the desired shape and once it's on you tape with blue painters tape half over the vinyl. I use this tape first on all painting projects for fine straight lines.

here's a sample on this site but avail at local auto paint supply shops.

[reelapeelin]

8)...that stuff must be pretty flexible to make those tight turns ... apparently so ;) ...

[Blue_Runner]

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAUTIFUL!! Skools is gonna make some money on that ol girl! I hear ya man! I wish I was half as talented as you when it comes to boats ;)

[Skools Out]

Well got home ready to work on her and the floor was still soft so i had to do all i could without stepping on the gray.


so i installed the new brass floor drains

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/Monoco%2021/MVC-004S-7.jpg

installed the pedestal back in (it's bolted in to a 3/8 thick steel plate i installed under the floor and threaded the holes in the steel to be able to replace the pedestal easy and solid.)

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/Monoco%2021/MVC-003S-8.jpg


i installed the front floor hatch and insert box

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/Monoco%2021/MVC-005S-7.jpg

and finally installed all the decals

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/Monoco%2021/MVC-001S-9.jpg

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/Monoco%2021/MVC-002S-9.jpg

sorry boys that's all i could reach so all i did hope to finish the punch list tomorrow.

[Skools Out]

Well Murphy's Law strikes

i put 7 gallon of mixed fuel in the tank and guess what the new tank LEAKS oh yeah only found out after it was strapped in and foamed in the hull. So i now have removed alot of the foam and drained the tank will remove tomorrow and find and fix all and any leaks i'm pissed at the tank builder. good side i mounted battery tray and battery plus the doors inside the whole boat. plus installd the speed-o sending unit.

[reelapeelin]

Is that a NEW tank, Skools ??? ... BUMMER!! :P ...

[Skools Out]

yeah but i bought it 4 or 5 yrs ago for the boat and tossed it on a shelf so guess it was bad then but to late now my problem to fix now ugh.

[msbhammer]

Oh man, thats a bummer about the tank. But she's looking good though. Should be a quick fix for the Skools Monster Shop. Dont you ever sleep. ;D

[reelapeelin]

Good news is ya only put 7 gals in there ... beats a fill-up ;) ...

[Skools Out]

yeah i only had 7 gallons in stead of like 45 or 50 wow that would have been a pain, but it's already drained back into containers

[macojoe]

Better you found out now before you got to the coast next week!
Still sucks, but could have been worse!

But I have to admit, I just lowered my bid buy $5 ;)

[Skools Out]

well it's ok MJ i've found the hole and fixed it *;D *it was on the corner where the crappy looking weld had a pin hole in it so it is fixed now.

[reelapeelin]

How'd ya fix it?...

[macojoe]

ok I raise my bid $10 *;D extra $5 cause its the new and improved gas tank!!

[msbhammer]

I wanna see Pics. of the V-20 rebuild. You start yet. ;D

[Skools Out]

sand blasted area and then opened area up and filled with JB Weld fuel tank epoxy from the truck stop, works great i've had it on my old cars fuel tank for 12 yrs or better never a leak yet, but i did take the sending unit out and epoxy inside as well. the tank may go away but the patch will last forever lol.

[Blue_Runner]

Glad you got the tank fixed.

Dare I ask - how much are you plannin on asking for this beauty when finished? ;D

[reelapeelin]

Glad you got the tank fixed.

Dare I ask - how much are you plannin on asking for this beauty when finished? ;D



Dare you ask?? ... dare he gonna tell ;) ...he knows ain't nobody 'round here got the $$ for that puppy ;) ...we all bunch of DIY cheap-a$$es ;D ;D ;D ...


JB Weld Tank Epoxy...new trick pony jumps outta the barn every time I open the door ;) ...Thanks, Skools...

[Skools Out]

lol Reel this stuff is great too. but the epoxy i used wasn't to cheap it's $20 for the small 2 part kit

http://www.kbs-coatings.com/KBS-Gold-Standand-Tank-Sealer-Gallon-P95C38.aspx?UserID=562793&SessionID=nWy8ikW{u8o7uK t6RSUg


I'm going to ask $9500 for it. *what do you guys think? Do you think it will sell ???

I told the neighbor i was bringing it so he said he would have the fuel flow reader and radar gun plus GPS to get the numbers on the old girl, he ask which prop i had and it currently has a Stelleto 14.5 X 19 he said i will need a 15 X 21 for my hull he is the best prop guy i've ever seen, he can look at a hull and the motors HP and tell you the exact prop you need. He said with the 19 pitch it should run 60 mph but with a 21 should run 65

[reelapeelin]

$9500 ain't bad at all!! :D ...you got it onna good trailer and goodness knows it's been done RIGHT ;) 8) ... If I was in the market, I come get it ;D ...

[macojoe]

If I was in the Market??


I am always in the market just have no cash :'(

The thing here is not that it isn't a good price (cause it is) Its just finding the right guy that knows what he is looking at and can appreciate what has gone into it to get it to were it is!!

Have a pic album showing the work in different stages on hand when they come look.
And of coarse you can answer anything they come up with!!

The right guy will show!!

[Skools Out]

well thanks guys, Well sorry no pics but lastseveral days i've been getting her USCG ready Fire Ext, Oar, Throwable, mounted all seats, tank back in hull, fuel/water seperator installed, all hatch's installed.

[C YENSEN]

[parishht]

Sweet, you do great work,
One question,
is it safe to have the fuel line running on top of the battery
right at the terminal?

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g18/parishht/Skoolsfuelline.jpg

[Skools Out]

no issues there, alot of smaller I/O's have fuel tank, motor, battery, and all in one compartment.

[macojoe]

Thss getting better then the wet thread!!

Thast new guy should look at this!!

[reelapeelin]

That'd make a helluva big-lake striper boat 8) ...add FF, troll-motor, rod-holders and bait-tank ... 8) 8) ...

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g18/parishht/Skoolsfuelline.jpg

Skools, I think Parishht meant the fuel line being almost on top or touching the battery terminal. I suppose if your fuel line were to leak, it could be dangerous...

Anyway, looking really nice buddy. As somebody already said, someone's gonna get a great deal in buying that boat AND trailer.

[Skools Out]

lol oh well it's not as it looks thats an illusion

[Skools Out]

well guys i towed her around town and some highway this afternoon and tonight to test the brakes and to ensure the tires and bearings didn't get hott. All was good and working perfect. towed great stopped great that Gas Tahoe doesn't man handle the boat as well as my diesel one does but it does well. tomorrow is the big 3.5 hour trip to the coast for her first return since i picked her up on Front St. Beaufort NC 5 years ago.

[macojoe]

Good Luck, we will be awaiting the report!!

[reelapeelin]

Good Luck, we will be awaiting the report!!



...complete w/pix!! 8) ...and NUMBAS ;) ...

[Skools Out]

well i started the motor tonight and she runs good but fouling plugs due to lots of break in oil but will burn out soon i hope and run great but running like a new one for a while, it currently is multi colored will get pics tomorrow for ya


pictures for Hammer lol this is the 1990 motor i picked up over Easter. What ya think i only gave $50 for it, 225 Evinrude 25" shaft.

Took off the heads to look at the salt and to my shock very little, the compression is 90 psi on all but 1 it has 80 so i took the head on this side first and found cylinder has some scoring, i'm going to re-ring her any way then. The marina said it was scrap and they had sold the power pack off due to bad flywheel, all it needed was magnets re-glued, dummies lol.

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/Motors/MVC-007S-1.jpg

[Skools Out]

here she is in completed form see her now soon it will be painted white and decaled as Johnson

[macojoe]

[Skools Out]

Skool,

Do you use the same primer and paint for topside and below the waterline?



On the boat yes but on the motor no i use Zinc primer on the bottom of the motor but reg high build primer on the fiberglass parts on the motors

[chesapeake_dreamin]

[Franco]

Bad to the bone Skools

[Mulv80]

[Blue_Runner]

Looks great Skools!

[Skools Out]

thanks guys BR has seen the boat personally so he can tell ya what she looks like up close. oh and BR Danny still has that Skiff

[Bygracealone]

Very, very nice maestro! ;D ;D ;D

BR, Danny will always have the skiff :P

[Skools Out]

Ok, Great let me know I can bring you a certified check for $8,000.00 on
Saturday morning.

Thanks Mike

[Enforcer]

Congrats!! Took Long enough!:clap:

[bradford]

Congrats Skools! That guy got a deal. Did ya show him the photos of the rebuild?

[Skools Out]

he didn't need pics he said lol i offered, it didn't takelong i only finished it in July last yr and really wasn't pushing to sell it, now i'm going to miss it. since i just sold my little dixie boat 2 weeks ago now my 21 is gone. leaves me to finish the 1900 Sea Ox CC the V20 the 250 Sea Ray the 250 Wellcraft but i might buy this 19 ft center console i found for $500 it needs a motor but it is a Bayliner ugh.

[macojoe]

BAYLINER!! Were is Hammer!!

[Skools Out]

yeah for $500 i get a complete 19 ft cc 1988 boat with T-Top,trailer and a bad 125 Force 1996, but i have a spare 140 Evinrude 1992 here on a motor stand. then i could resale with the 140 for $3000 to $3500.

[macojoe]

Does Hammer get a discount?? :booty:

[THEFERMANATOR]

You can always do like I did with the BAYLINER I bought. Repower it and BEAT THE EVR LIVING SNOT out of it EVRY TIME YOU CAN:sun:. Buy em for a song, and then play bumper boat.

[Blue_Runner]

Congrats SKools! Its a nice boat. Now about that Bayliner - buy it and paint a Contender logo over the bayline logo. Or you could just call it a Trophy boat.
:beer:

[Skools Out]

oh well the Baycrapper has been sold, the guy only took $275 for it what a deal.

[Skools Out]

[Skools Out]

Well Guys it's gone, He just left out with the 21 and he lives in BR/Rand country. He's from Randleman, NC

[Bygracealone]

Congrats Skools. Hey, now you've got some cash to finish those other boats you've got... Sell that Sea Ray and get to work on the 250! I can't wait to see what that boat will look like when you finish it...

[lumberslinger178]

congrats I dont think weve seen the last of it then

[cfelton]

Congratulations Skools, you did a fine job! That guy should be mighty proud of it!
:beer:

[willy]

Agreed Todd, you do nice work, that fellow got a as good as new boat for easy money. Congrats:clap:

[Skools Out]

Thanks Guys, I wish you could have seen his face he was so happy you would have thought he won the lotto. He was real excited when i cranked it up and he saw how well it started and how crisp the motor was, man that boat ran and sounded so good.

[randlemanboater]

Well Guys it's gone, He just left out with the 21 and he lives in BR/Rand country. He's from Randleman, NC


Let me know who he is, I'll make sure he takes good care of the 21.:bat:

[C YENSEN]

Skools, you sould a little sad to see her go

[regidog]

Skools,

It hurts selling, went through it a year ago but once you start on the next you quickly will forget.

[Skools Out]

The sad part I had plans to take it to the Beach in 2 weeks to go fishing for a week at the coast. None of my boats run again, I just sold my 16 ft Dixie 2 weeks ago while I was at the coast. Sold both running boats. Now none to fish from. Guess it's time to finish the V20 or one of my other 4 remaining boats.

[bradford]

A wise man once told me "Sell the best and ride the rest".

[whatknot]

Skools,
Unbelievable !! Great job on that one. Say, where did you get your tandem trailer fenders? And can ya step on 'em?

[Blue_Runner]

Sold both running boats. Now none to fish from. Guess it's time to finish the V20 or one of my other 4 remaining boats.
Yes, you need to finish up that V20 and put those twin 140's on there and take me fishing.

[Skools Out]

yes you could step on those fenders they came with that EZLoader Trailer.

Hey BR i'm not putting the twins on it now. I'm putting a 225 Johnson on the V20 as well. I have been finishing up small projects in the shop making room for the V to fit again. I hope it warms up soon so i can start finishing the V. I hope to have it completed by mid to late summer. New floor, transom, hatches, rod boxes and all.

Still looking for a boat that OUR lol Twin 140's will fit.

[THEFERMANATOR]

That guy deffinately got a deal, look at what this guy wants for his.

http://tampa.craigslist.org/boa/602241082.html

[Skools Out]

lol same boat but missing the original windshield. Looks OK to slightly rough.
