1985 repairs
 

There is something to be said for buying a new boat. I'm not gonna say it though.
I'm missing out on some fine georgia fishing while I finish this mother. This should keep ya busy for at least a minute hammer...

Tank installed- I know the wiring color codes are not correct, but I'm rewiring the entire boat how I want it.

I liked the Blue Sea System Battery switch and 120 amp automatic charging relay. Here's the link. http://bluesea.com/products/7650 This installation still in progress. Link to the fuse panel I'm installing with busbars as well.

Re: 1985 repairs
 

Nice work!

If you bought a new boat you still wouldnt be fishing, you would be working a second job to pay 4 it.

Re: 1985 repairs
 

dam you are doing one hell of a job :o :o

I love the new tank, what did it cost to get that thing fabricated?

looks great ;D

Re: 1985 repairs

WOW, thats alot of $$$$$$, I'll just go over to where Parishht keeps his V and grab his tank. He lives near by. *;D ;D ;D
CY, think he does have a bracket, that extra/other floor hatch looks look it came from an I/O.

Re: 1985 repairs
 

Came stock with the bracket. Had 200 zuki but my 150 2 stroke yami is on it now.

Love to have a gallery....

Re: 1985 repairs
 

HAMMER, be carefull, I left some guard dogfish in the hold,
I hope they live till next year,
I gave them 10 pounds of food. ;D ;D

Re: 1985 repairs
 

This boat looks like it came with the Stainless Marine bracket from the factory. I see no signs of a patch or repair to add this bracket. Does anyone know if Wellcraft sold this setup or did all closed transoms come with a C drive?

Re: 1985 repairs
 

pretty sure they came with Sea-Drives :-/

Re: 1985 repairs
 

Yepper, must have been a sea drive.

Re: 1985 repairs
 

yeap was a sea drive boat

Re: 1985 repairs
 

Great job!! Nice Tank!!

Brackets were not wide spread back then, it has to be a seadrive conversion.

Re: 1985 repairs
 

Definately a sea-drive conversion, you can see the round cut-out that was filled in the conversion if you look closely at the picture. Plus the factory bracket wasn't an option until 87 on the V-20.

Nice Job man, Those guys did a nice job on that tank. Brings back memories. Well worth it.
