Before and After
 

If you all remember, I decided to fix up my "V" that sunk June 06. After hours and hours of labor and lots of dollars on new power, I figured I would provide some "before after pics" of the '88 "V".

Lots of work left to do cosmetically. As for the motor, I got a deal on a 2004 Evinrude Ficht 150 with a 7 year warranty. It was a demo motor with 50 hrs that was never registered. Well, when I launched it ticked like a timebomb and I demanded a new powerhead. So now I have 0hrs and very quiet power.

Great Pics. Hey are those back to back seats raised ??, they appear higher then the basic back to back seats.

LOOKS GREAT MAN, I GOTTA GIVE YOU A LOTTA CREDIT FOR STICKING WITH IT AND FIXING HER UP ;)

Re: Before and After
 

Hammer,

Yes the seats are higher than standard. They were custom seats that I managed to salvage after sinking. The guy I bought the boat from 5 years ago spent some buckson them. They had floated away and pounded in the surf and rocks but never ripped. The rear bench seat, however, did not fair as well. I will be repairing the seat back this weekend and reinstalling. Before pic for your pleasure:

My 250 has the mounts for a rear bench and the pins to secure it were in the cabin but the seat itself was MIA. Any chance of getting a picture of the seat frame and hardware so I can try to copy it? Better yet any one out there have an unwanted seat/frame or know the whereabouts of one?

Re: Before and After
 

Monkey,

I'll try to get some pics of the frame this weekend. It is pretty straight forward though. The release pins go through holes in the base rail and into the floor.
