Heat wave pics
 

Since it has finally warmed up here to above freezing, I got under the cover to fiddle around a bit!!

3rd pic - i took off the rear bulkhead door to either replace or refinish. I'll probably install a hatch there.

4th pic- a few holes to fill - hell it looks like swiss cheese!

Nice job of photo taking with the boat under wraps! Your cabin doors look new and is that a tackle locker on the port side of the bulkhead? Bill Mc ;D

MAC

The doors are original, just took em off and sanded/oiled them.

That is a tackle locker on the port bulkhead. Its a Tempress and I need a new door for it. I cant seem to find one yet.

Fillet - your boat looks great. I like the full transom with the in floor baitwell.

If you need a new temptress hatch there are a few on ebay. Not sure what size you need.

Fillet...hey man your dash looks GREAT 8)....that FULL transom is the deal...

Suggestion...if box under lounge is sturdy, remove seats, add lid(coverd w/vinyl), put swivel seat forward...keep that storage space in the box....just an idea :)...

Re: Heat wave pics
 

Bigshrimpin - thanks for the links - the first one is what I need, but I have to double check the size.

RAP - that is a good idea. But for today at least, ;) I am thinking that i just want another pedestal and seat. I like the clean interior look of Seabird's 85 in the gallery. The only lounge that I can find that has a 16 inch base is over $300.00.

Anyone know where I can get a seat that matches my helm seat?

I am also looking for the threaded knobs for the ends of the seat swivel/slider. I just took the whole assy apart and rebuilt it.

Re: Heat wave pics
 

Yeah, I'm w/you on the clean look of 2 pedistals...if I hadn't needed fuel capacity, I'd have gone the same route...

Your helm seat doesn't show much in photos above(I'll look in the gallery), looks like Todd seat from a few years back....just looked in Boaters World, West and Bass Pro master cats and didn't see 'em, but I'll keep an eye out...

Your boat's comin' along great 8)....

Re: Heat wave pics
 

I couldnt find any Manufacturer's marks on it other than an "M" serial #? If you look in my "new member" there is a pic that may show the seat, but not with much detail.

I want the seats to match if I go the pedestal route. If I cant find a match then I am looking at buying two new seats, one that needs a pedestal and spider, the other to fit the existing one. That scenario becomes a $400.00 deal which is more than the right size lounge.


I did see that Fpmarine has a bunch of seats etc cheeep! I may call down there and see what they have in a matching set.

Maybe next year I'll trade in my 115 and get me one of those nice shiny Hondas!!! ;D

Maybe by then I'll have figgered out which prop you should use ;)....

Re: Heat wave pics
 

Your boat looks great. The rod boxes look AWESOME! Do you still have the stern seat? I noticed the hardware for it in the deck. I have mine, it is sitting in my shed. I'm mixed on it, I left it out all of last season and really liked all that cockpit room. And if you need extra seating, there is PLENTY of room for a couple folding deck chairs.
