Slightly Twisted's new project

[Slightly_Twisted]

it been a week or so. Things are really crazy around here with the start of hunting season and the end of football.

Got the linkage problems worked out I think. I just need to test it on the water. Getting close to being done with the bright work. I remade the rod-box trim, the front hatch rails, and the transom door. I had some mahogany left from some other things and was able to use the scraps. I'll take a few pics when I have a sec.

The next project I was thinking of going after was rewiring the boat. I've been trying to figure out what goes to what and what work and what doesn't. Seems like I cant get the switches to work and the lights. If I'm going to rewire some things I might as well do all the boat. I have 40ft of 2 awg left from my last boat and I think i would like to move the batteries to the cuddy. I'm going to put a bracket on it some time so I might as well do it now to get the weight forward.

Does anyone know or have pic of the stringers, under the red areas in the Pic below. I would like to cut a hatch into that area and rewire everything from there.

thanks

Wow it's been a horable winter spring! Work had me going 100 mph everyday. I haven't had a chance to do many update online, but I've had some time to work on the Finn.
Finished all the bright work
New steering and control cables
Rebuild the carb
Updated some of the electrical (damn was that hard)
I couldn't get the engine to idel and then popped a powerpack. Got that fixed and had it tuned up and wow I'm impressed for that old motor!
First shake down run we get flagged down by a bass boat in the middle of the lake with whitecaps blowing 15-20 mph. His motor died and we pulled him 11/2 hours back to the dock and my motor never fussed!!

I have a few boat items I don't really need and kind of looking to give them away or trade them

I have two gps a 182 &162. ( I'll double check the number). Anyone need them/want them?

I'm looking for a kicker motor bracket for a 2 hp? Anyone got an extra they are looking to unload?

Hope everyone's doing ok!

Love the thread. I'm starting my project 86 model this week. It's a dual console full transome.
