Heres my rebuilt engine and transom .I did everything myself except painting the transom.My neighbor that owns his own body shop did an excellent job of matching the paint to the gelcoat .He cleared it with Emron clear.

Nice and clean. Keep up the good work.


Not to change the subject or high jack your thread, but I see you are from N.C. What do you think about them changing the color of the license plates back to red? I like the blue they have now and after 25 years why change?

Looks Great!!

Re: Almost done
 

Heard it on the news the other day, they are going from carolina blue to red.

I remember back when I was younger living down there they were red and switched to blue, now back to red.

Re: Almost done
 

I hate the new plates >:( They look like crap.

Re: Almost done
 

You did a great job on a sweet V. Well done bud ;)

Re: Almost done
 

I hope mine looks half that good when I'm done. PRETTY WORK!!!

Re: Almost done
 

Thanks fellas, hard work does pay off! I used Captains marine varnish on the teak, and sanded between coats (5 coats each piece) with 600 grit sandpaper.I hope they last awhile. Ill be running her in theChowan river,Albemarle sound (crabbing),and around Oregon Inlet on the Outer Banks. I really like the I/O 170. My buddys got a 86 V with a 470 I/O, which is basically the same thing. Mine is a 170 engine with a alpha one outdrive. I rebuilt it all. I bought it not running, and not knowing it had a rotten transom! I worked on it for 51 weeks before finally putting it in the water. That first ride was really sweet!

Re: Almost done
 

Oh. I like the old blue plates too.I wish they would keep em the same!

Re: Almost done
 

At least ya'll can appreciate tag colors, hell I not even sure what our state flag looks like this week :-[
