Skools I wouldn't be under there sanding painting if I were you.

[Skools Out]

no fear Willy i sanded it on blocks them lifted and tilted them painted then tilted the other way and painted. today i set back on blocks / jack stands. Then started working on the hood for the motor will post pics herein a few.

[chumbucket]

That's how most of the small to midsize Boston Whalers are built. We just didn't use come-alongs. They were all hung from the same lifting rings and suspended on an overhead monorail until completion.

Painted Hood

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/Monoco%2021/21Motor016.jpg

Skools: as it appears from here the third strip from the top is .001" to .0015" wider then the rest. With pratice you will improve.LOL ;D

Other then that I think you did a great job. Man what a skill you have. Great job again and keep up the good work.

[Skools Out]

LOL yeah i'll work on it lol Only one driving me nuts is the bottom black stripe gets thin in center of that side. Thanks T

[turbinedoctor]

There you have a prime example, a finely trained eye such as mine missed that small detail.

Skools lets face it, planed out at 20 mph, who in the heck is going to notice that.

"Perfectionest are there our worst cridic".

If that statement wasn't quoted by someone famous then I lay claim to it. I liked it even if I do say so my self.

[Skools Out]

like that one too. but 20??? lol Try 60 or 70 i hope lol. ;D

[turbinedoctor]

Wake up skools, your dreaming again. :o

60 or 70 are you serious? >:(

At that speed they wouldn't even notice if the hood was on. ;)

[Skools Out]

here were thoughts of colors for the boat what ya think? i decided on white with blue pearl but i liked the teal i must say.

[racerx]

Nice job! What type of paint did you use on the hood and did you paint the rest of the motor?

[reelapeelin]

That's a fine lookin' JOHNSON ya got there, Skools...hope no one takes that wrong... ::) ...

[Skools Out]

just spray paint from advance auto masked it off and painted
I first painted all white then masked off the whole area where the orig decal was then masked off and paint the 3" wide lite gold strip then masked off the gold i wanted to leave and painted the black. then taped off the hood and painted the red stripe and then cleared the whole hood with 3 coats then installed Johnson and 225 decals then cleared all with 2 more coats.

I haven't paint any of the rest of the motor yet that's next.

[reelapeelin]

Great job, Skools...maskin' off all that fresh paint is where I run into problems...when I peel the tape off, the paint comes w/ it :o ...even happened once w/ the blue tape... :P ...

[Skools Out]

hull's been painted now starting the assembly process, currently has all cleats, dash, and other stainless items mounted with stainless and 5200 everything.

[msbhammer]

Cant wait to see her when she's done. Will make a great X-Mas gift for me. Thanks SKOOL. ;D

[macojoe]

Looking good!! My bid just went to $10!

[C YENSEN]

looks great, you do awesome work there bud ;D

[Mulv80]

Hey Skools, What are you going to ask when its time to sell her?

[msbhammer]

Mulv. Sell ?? ???
Thought it was a X-Mas gift to Me. :P

[lumberslinger178]

wish I had a garage like that .... cant get my V in the 10x12 shed >:(

[Skools Out]

Thanks Guys not sure yet hope to ask $9500 obo but that's due to the trailer i bought for her last week. i bought a Shoreland'r drive on trailer with brakes for the boat. plus now i've got to pay off my new Tahoe. Does anyone have a 99 Tahoe they tow with? i wonder how this one is going to do. i kept the diesel tahoe too though for little extra heavy towing. What ya think?

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/99%20Tahoe/99Tahoe001.jpg

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/99%20Tahoe/99Tahoe002.jpg

[macojoe]

Looks great!!

But I hate white!! Here in the NE the rust shows up fast!!

[Skools Out]

yeah i hate white too but when you can buy it over 5k under loan value you can't turn it down.

[willy]

Skools two questions, one when is the launch party ;D
Two are you going to use super model seating for that boat ???

[regidog]

I got a 1997 Tahoe with a 350 ci, and beefed up tranny, tows my Dads 6000lb Grady. Don't go over 50 mph though. I recently put helper springs in the rear to help with the soft suspension. Tows the V20 no problem though.

[macojoe]

I agree, I had to put 3/4 ton springs in my 1500 Silverado because it was to soft for my 30" camper

works great for the V20

[Skools Out]

yeah this one has helper springs and electric brakes *already installed. i hope it will tow the 250 boat's good. i've got to get under it and crank the front up to level it out. i hate an unlevel truck. i want to put some 285/75/16 tires on it too. that's what i have on the black tahoe but going to put 315/75/16 on it instead.

see here it is on it's current rubber

Skool, you got a great deal on that trailer. Only 400 bucks. Great deal. ;D
I like the Sea Ray in the background. What does she need ?
You fix the damage on your keel ?

[Skools Out]

mine doesn't need fixing but the sea ray just needs new carpet in the cabin it has a new 310 hp I/O it, That boat is a SR250FC model. was Sea Ray's fishing model has all live wells and ice boxes on the deck.

[msbhammer]

OOPS, I was thinking of Blue who had teh damaged keel. I love Rays, might be a future boat. ;)

[THEFERMANATOR]

You can tell Skool's aint married, I'm getting major heat for having two boats in the yard......ok, 3.
I've got 7 in the yard, and 1 at a buddys house. And I'm still huntin more ;D.

[Skools Out]

i had to cut back so i sold several so i only have 9 that currently registered with NC. when i met my girl she wanted me to cut back cause i had 15 at the time.

[msbhammer]

15 !!!!!! BOATS. :o :o What a true GOD. ;D

[Skools Out]

no hammer it's called too many boats. but now i have a new problem i have too many trailers and motors. guess i need some more boats lol.

[Skools Out]

well i loaded the 21 on her trailer tonight took about 25 to 30 min to load but fits perfectly. pics tomorrow.

[randlemanboater]

i had to cut back so i sold several so i only have 9 that currently registered with NC. when i met my girl she wanted me to cut back cause i had 15 at the time.


You see, thats where I messed up, I only had 2 boats when I got married, so when I get over that number, the wife alarm goes off. I shoulda got all my buddies boats together in my yard, 15 or 20 of em, and told the wife they were all mine. Then when I "only" had 9 in the yard she would think I was getting better.

[Skools Out]

lol yeap works too hey trouble is now she comes home and says i found a boat for sale or i saw an old boat they might sell behind a house lol. she even takes pics of them with her cell phone.but her taste is like 25 to 50 ft boats lol.

[msbhammer]

SKOOL, I was told that I won the raffle. When should I come and pick up or is free delivery added in as well. ;D

[randlemanboater]

lol yeap works too hey trouble is now she comes home and says i found a boat for sale or i saw an old boat they might sell behind a house lol. she even takes pics of them with her cell phone.but her taste is like 25 to 50 ft boats lol.


You could have worse problems.

My wife rolls her eyes at me when she see's me checking out a boat as we drive past.

But really I am lucky, she understands my illness, and puts up with it.....to a point.

[Skools Out]

well i might take the V20 off her trailer this afternoon and put it on the new trailer i got for it.

;D

[C YENSEN]

where can i find the windsheild frame filler that black vinyl insert that covers the mount screws?

[reelapeelin]

You could try a glass install shop, or possibly an auto-body repair SUPPLY house...Ya gotta JC Whitney catalog?...


Skools, I noticed a single drain-hole in the center of the splashwell...don't know how your 225s mount, but when I 1st got my "V", the motor did not allow good drainage from that center hole...Honda doesn't block it and now it drains OK ;) ...


Man that 21 looks so GOOD from all that work ya put into her...I don't see how ya gonna sell 'er :'( ...

[msbhammer]

Sell ??? ??? ??? SKOOL aint selling, he's raffling. Got your ticket. ;D

[lumberslinger178]

skool its lookin better everyday , r u redoing this boat to sell?? cause it sure is sweet

[parishht]

Redo looks great.

Just curious, how many motors ahve you got sitting around?

[Skools Out]

Thanks Guys
*yeah it's being redone to be sold, and on the motors i currently have 6 V6 looper 200 / 225 hp J/E motors and 4 V4 140 hp J/E motors, 1 Johnson 3 hp, 8 GM V8's some auto some marine. lets just say way to many motors and 3 Jeep straight 6 motors 4.0 and 4.2

[macojoe]

Looks Great!!!!

did you find the black stuff?? Whats the hatch look like?? Looks like it is pretty high, thats a big space under the middle glass.

[Skools Out]

there use to be a bow cover from this boat, but it was rotted and partly missing so it no longer has one lol. the center window was made to open above it and it made the front like a cabin looked alot like the V20 cabin. it was a cool idea. I haven't found the black filler yet, going to a glass company Monday. did you mean the front center hatch it's a hatch i made and cut in the floor for more storageand hull access. it's 13" x 26"

[macojoe]

I was talking about the slider, if it slides under the windshield.
What you going to do about that?? You have one to copy?

[parishht]

Thanks Guys

All in running condition?
Are they all spoken for?

Now I know who to contact if I need a new motor ;D 8)

[Skools Out]

MJ i'm confused there's no slider on this boat. never was one. and yeah all run but 1 of the 140's is in a million parts lol

[msbhammer]

Looking better everday there SKOOL. Yo dee Man. ;)

[macojoe]

MJ i'm confused there's no slider on this boat. never was one. and yeah all run but 1 of the 140's is in a million parts lol


Never mind!! I have the V20 on my mind, this boat is a bow rider and has no slider!! :-[


All in running condition?
Are they all spoken for?

Now I know who to contact if I need a new motor Grin Cool

Funny I was thinking the same thing, if I got my project boat ;)

[reelapeelin]

Skools...you mentioned a bow-cover...was it canvas type cover?...When I win the raffle, I'm gonna have canvas made to go between the consoles or make a Starboard swinger ;) ...


Man, it's GREAT how the windshield completes the lines of a boat...that REELY looks good !!...didja have to pre-bend the Lexan in those side windows or did it just conform?...


Keep in' my raffle tickets in my ''Lucky Underwear"...can't wait!!... ;D ...

[Skools Out]

Reel it was a fiberglass bow cover really cool now i wish i kept it and rebuilt. It had wood in it so you could walk up on the front like the V20. I took the old Lexan to a shop and they formed it the same as the old stuff. then i put the frame back together. The lexan i have under that white plastic is a dark tinted glass.

[Skools Out]

here's a pic of the rubber windsheild trim i'm looking for

what ya think of these aluminum wheels on my boat trailer?

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/other/MVC-024S-1.jpg

[Skools Out]

sorry guys no updated lately but been super busy and all but i have gotten a new rub rail from Parker that was a opened package one for a discount cost me $30 ;D it's for their 23 full transom boat what a deal huh complete kit

[randlemanboater]

sorry guys no updated lately but been super busy and all but i have gotten a new rub rail from Parker that was a opened package one for a discount cost me $30 *;D it's for their 23 full transom boat what a deal huh complete kit


Speaking of Parker 23's, SO, do you know what brand of seats they use for the rear facing seats on the 23 W/A? And can you get some for $30?

[Skools Out]

you want ped. seats?
They were $130 a seat with slider, 15" ped, Todd seat and cushions. last set i bought but Boater's World has 2 Todd Ped seats with cushions and 15" ped for $169 a pair.

[macojoe]

I used some Dodge wheels on a trailer before, looked like it fit, went on and tightened right up, but 20 miles down the road it wobbled lose and passed me on the highway!!
the other side was also ready to go when I got to the other side!

[bigshrimpin]

what ya think of these aluminum wheels on my boat trailer?

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/other/MVC-024S-1.jpg


Skools - I think the center hole on those jeep rims isn't big enough for the hub on the trailer. The only car wheel that I believe fits a standard 5 lug trailer hub are the old Ford Ranger aluminum wheels. Not 100% sure but I think you'll find out soon.

[bigshrimpin]

http://i1.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/99/a9/268e_1_b.JPG

Or

http://i24.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/98/c2/c570_1_b.JPG

[Skools Out]

oh i've had them on Jeep and Ford are the same lug and all so i knew i was good to go. they fit great on another trailer but wanted to keep when i sold the trailer so i took them off to put on another trailer

[bigshrimpin]

I'm surprised . . . I have a Jeep Comanche with the exact same wheels and the bearing buddies won't make it through the center hole on those jeep rims.

[Skools Out]

my bearing buddies come threw the center hole and are out about 1/4 inch to almost flush. makes them look nice with the wheels have stainless shiny centers ;D

[Skools Out]

well boyz sorry no pics yet to tired but i worked on my wiring this afternoon. tested the motor circuit, lighting, and bilge pump. i came home and the mail man had left me gifts my wiring plugs were in from Jameco.com in Calf. Unlike Mj i'm doing pro job and neat on this wiring.

[Skools Out]

well more wiring done tonight and worked on the Evinrude 225 i picked up over Easter.

[msbhammer]

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/Monoco%2021/MVC-012S-2.jpg

[phester]

nice work skools. That is one area where I do NOT excel, wiring and wiring diagnosis.....yuk.....why is the warning alarm wrapped in that mesh stuff?

[Skools Out]

wrapped up to protect the main wiring harness from it's weight in one spot and to keep out direct water spray.

THanks i hope it looks good to you guys i strapped up all the wiring with c clips for low voltage wiring, i know the pics are hard to know where it's looking but i was under the dash taking the pics.

[msbhammer]

Glad to see ya back at work with her. Looking good there SKOOL. ;D

[Skools Out]

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.

[phester]

hey skools, did you pick that up when you were on L.I. ??

[Skools Out]

i picked it up on the way there, i dropped the trailer in Riva, MD right at Bygrace's home and then picked the trailer up on the way back at the marina and loaded the motor that same time.

[phester]

gotcha, where on "the Isle of long" were you?

[Skools Out]

Lake Ronkonkoma, NY That is where my future wife is from originally.

[phester]

yep, that's about twenty mins east of me

[msbhammer]

Ahhh, some fresh pics. from SKOOL. ;D

[Skools Out]

what exit off LIE are you off of her mom is off 60

[phester]

I am exit 53North, the Sunken Meadow parkway all the way to the end. I'm right on the L.I. Sound looking at Conneticut to my north

[Skools Out]

well today i cleaned out the boat and washed her, she looks so good without the polen, but now i've left the boat outside and started on the motor i've stripped it so does anyone want to see my Johnson Naked ;D lol , it is close to no paint at all from the power head down.

[Skools Out]

now you won't belive this, This boat is a 1978 and i cut a hole in the stringer at the transom on both sides for piping, well the other day i noticed this stuff running out of both sides holes, i checked closer and it was sap can you believe a boat that is almost 30 yrs old still has sap in the stringers that will run out, i was like WOW they are in damn good shape i knew but wow.

[Pipe_Dream]

Sap? Unbelievable! :o

[parishht]

Hey Skools, that 225 E looks a lot like my 150, except that mine is on the V and running.

[Skools Out]

i know pipe i'll get a pic i was in shock then stuck my finger in it to see what it was an ugh sap then that sticky crap was all over my hand lol

You 150 is what yr again? must be a looper yr then lol.

[parishht]

I don't have my paperwork with me today,
but I think it is a 92.

[macojoe]

Looking good!! I have the same fuse block as you, Your wires are a hair better then mine ;)

My $700, 175 Evinrude runs great, But I have never done a compression test, I am to scared to find out :-/

Pollen, heck we don';t even have leafs yet, Gras hasn't grown green yet!

[Skools Out]

[macojoe]

Thanks I thought it was, but had to ask the OMC God's to be sure ;)

[parishht]

I don't have my paperwork with me today,
but I think it is a 92.

Checked my paperwork, it was bought in 1992,
but when I checked the numbers (E150TLES)
I found it was a 1990.

What is the difference between looper and crossflow?


By the way Skools, you do nice work.

[parishht]

I did a little research and answered my own question.

Here is a link that explains the difference in laymans terms:

[Skools Out]

Thanks Guys

Well i didn't work on the boat at all this weekend :-[ Sorry guys lol I was busy building an axle frame for my 30 ft car trailer. Built it all yesterday, got the frame finished but now i've got to get wheels and tires for it currently has the jeep wheels on it. I ended up using 3/8 thick 3 1/2 X 3 1/2 angle for the axle frame and using 1/4 thick 6 inch channel for trailer frame. it should haul anything i want. has 6000 lb springs and 4000 lb axles.

[msbhammer]

SKOOL, all these projects you been working on. You sure you didnt grab a few who snuck across the boarder and you now have them on the SKOLL's Chain gang in your back yard working 24 hrs. a day. ;D ;D ;D

[Skools Out]

[turbinedoctor]

Looks really nice there Skools. Bet your gonna hate to sell it.

How many hours do you have in it.

[Skools Out]

hours unknown but i do have 5 yrs work lol na i don't ever mind selling one just gives me room for more boats to rebuild.

[turbinedoctor]

I might drag mine down there this winter and let you paint it for me.

[Skools Out]

lol well only issue can't spray paint in winter unless it's 70* plus for 3 to 4 straight days

[turbinedoctor]

Cant do without her during the summer, maybe we can work something out for the spring.

How long and how much $ do you think it would take to sand and paint a V 20. I'm just kicking around the idea now but one day I might get serious and do it.

You know like a few to many beers and the next thing you know theres a tatoo on your arm. ;D

[Skools Out]

not sure i can tell more when i paint my V20 this spring

[Skools Out]

Well no 21 work today but i re-ringed that 225 Evinrude i picked up in MD for $50. so tomorrow going to finsh the assembly and start her up i hope to seat the rings.
