Almost Done!

[dan4836]

With the help of many people on this site, I was able to completely rebuild my V.

I purchased my boat last April and it was sitting for about ten to twelve years. I new the floor was rotten and the stringers as well.

I learned a lot about fiberglass work and paint products.

Overall, this is what was completed:

Rebuild Mercruiser 470
New gimblel bearing
New prop (14 X 17 seems to do good but I might go to a four blade)
Reconstructed stringers with 3/4 plywood and chopped strand and 1708 layup schedule
New floor, 3/4 A/C with chopped strand on both sides
Patched all the holes from old rod holders, moved gas tank fill to the port side
Installed a 52 gallon poly tank the fit except the fill line needed to be changed.
Rewired everything.
New dash layout and flush mounted fish finder
New steering wheel
Painted topsides with EZ Poxy 2 Yacht white
Painted Hull with EZ Poxy 2 twilight blue
KiwiGrip cream non skid

I still need to install new cleats, bilge vents and a few other things on the wish list (stereo system!)

I attached a photo taken this afternoon.
