heres some updated pics of the glass mat going in in the bow

kartman · Posted: Apr 11, 2010 11:41 am Post subject:

heres some more. i got bored today waiting for the sealer on the ski locker door to dry so i decided to put the board racks and the mirror on.

i ran out of resin when i was almost done. i forgot how much 1.5oz mat sucks up the resin.

here is the only parts from the motor that is saveable. the rest of it was JUNK. i got 80$ out of the junk parts from the scrap yard though!

this week i will be picking up the engine cover/storage/sun deck frame from the powder coater that i built last week. sorry, but i dont have any pics of that. i will also be ordering a new set of vortec sbc heads and telling the machine shop to go ahead with the machine work on the short block. i think i can have it done and using it in a month and a half.

Looking really good! When do you think you're going to be done?

im hoping i will be done by june 1st. here is the seats that i got for her for now. next winter we will be putting the wrap around seating in.

captains chair with swivel and slider mount

the lounger seat that i got for 150$ new. should work for this year.

here is the ski locker lid that i got done yesterday. it feels good to have a little bit of the carpet done. it feels good on my feet! (i sprang for the nice 20oz carpet)

Nice. Those seats look pretty good. I like the captains chair...looks comfy.

LOL! How much was it?

kartman · Posted: Apr 12, 2010 6:41 pm Post subject:

Everything looks great! I am going to be doing the same thing to my 20' Maxum next winter. What kind of fiberglass mat did you use? how many feet? and where did you get it?

kartman · Posted: Apr 13, 2010 5:08 pm Post subject:

the glass is 1.5 oz mat that i got for a smokin deal off of ebay. the rest of the supplies i got from fiberglast.com they have the best resin that i have found so far.

ASuboarder10 · Newbie Joined: 03 Apr 2010 Posts: 9 City: Tempe/Glendale

well i priced it out and building the seats, sundeck, and redoing the floor its going to be about 1200, thinking of doing the seats and sundeck out of HDPE. Does that sound about right? (This does not include upolstery, just the base for the seats)

kartman · Posted: Apr 14, 2010 1:36 pm Post subject:

so far i have about 2k into everything. tower, carpet, seats, wood, fiberglass. its right about 3k if you factor in the price of beer and pizza.

JeffreyCH · Posted: Apr 14, 2010 3:53 pm Post subject:

That's an awesome rebuild, looking great so far. I'm just curious why you didn't put ballast tanks under the floor while you had it out?

kartman · Posted: Apr 14, 2010 5:01 pm Post subject:

its an i/o. from what i have found they dont like weight in the rear or the middle. they like it the best up front. that and the cost!!!

Okie Boarder · Ladies Man Joined: 03 Mar 2008 Posts: 10056 City: Edmond

Another good source for glass and resin is US Composites. I've been getting most all my supplies from them. Even with shipping the prices are good.

kartman, that isn't two bad for both seats. I'm thinking about what I want to do in the future as far as my driver's seat.

kartman · Posted: Apr 15, 2010 7:12 pm Post subject:

ok. another update. im so friggin stoked!!

i just got the carpet in and the engine cover frame back from powdercoating, and installed. tomorrow i will be finishing up all the little pieces of carpet.

the leftover carpet

my helper

sorry about the blurry pics. i dont know whats wrong with my cheep camera.

Okie Boarder · Ladies Man Joined: 03 Mar 2008 Posts: 10056 City: Edmond

Lookin' good! I like the color of the carpet. Is the engine frame something that was already there or something you fabricated?

Looks like you have yourself a good little helper. I'm going to have both my boys helping me a lot more now that I'm not working with the nasty stuff.

kartman · Posted: Apr 16, 2010 9:39 am Post subject:

i built the engine cover frame. it was an easy build. it cost me about 50$ in materials including the stainless bolts.

Okie Boarder · Ladies Man Joined: 03 Mar 2008 Posts: 10056 City: Edmond

You're doing things alittle different in the back, right?

kartman · Posted: Apr 16, 2010 1:32 pm Post subject:

than the traditional i/o dog house?? what im going to be doing is making a big sun pad like modern v-drives has. with storage compartments on either side of the motor. so the back pad will have 2 side doors, and 1 door for the engine compartment. im still debating on whether or not i should put a ski pylon in the pad or just use the ski hook on the back of the boat. either way, i will be cutting the wood out for the dividers and the sun pad this weekend. today/tonight i am putting the smaller pieces of carpet in toward the front of the boat.

Okie Boarder · Ladies Man Joined: 03 Mar 2008 Posts: 10056 City: Edmond

Yeah, that's what I was asking. I'm interested to see how it looks when it's done.

kartman · Posted: Apr 19, 2010 8:27 am Post subject:

wow, i cant believe how much i have done to my boat over the last couple of weeks. the interior is about 90% done now. i just have to re upholster the bow seats, and build the panels for the engine cover, and swim deck. at this point i really feel a sense of pride and owner ship that i dont think i would have if i would of just bought a new boat. the only other one that would know what im talking about is okie. its just a different feeling knowing that it is something I built that the family and friends can use.

sorry for the blurry pics, i think the little man got his finger goo on the lens.

tearing apart the old panels.

tracing the old panels.

invaluable help

the pile of old felt/carpet/etc.

all the wood was sealed with an epoxy before carpet.

my helper carrying the new side panels

it feels like a boat again!

Okie Boarder · Ladies Man Joined: 03 Mar 2008 Posts: 10056 City: Edmond

You're really progressing. Yes, I definitely know what you mean about pride of ownership. This year is going to be interesting seeing how people react to the boat, especially if I get to tell them what all was done over the winter.

I see you aren't the only one with a KSL box in the pic. LOL!

kartman · Posted: Apr 24, 2010 9:22 am Post subject:

got the engine cover done, and the storage compartments done. the hinges are made for a toy box lid, and i got the locking latch from cabella's. finally got the helm seat bolted down. this week i will be getting quotes to get the engine and storage lids covered in foam and vinyl. will be picking up a new (used) long block on my next trip to socal. (as long as its as nice as the guy says). theirs just a couple more parts that i need to build for the back of the boat. mostly filler pieces. and i need to pick up and install some gas shocks to hold the doors open

Wow man, that is turning out NICE!! Great job.

kartman · Posted: Apr 24, 2010 9:52 am Post subject:

thanks man. its been alot of hard work. it feels good to see it finally come together (minus the motor).

Okie Boarder · Ladies Man Joined: 03 Mar 2008 Posts: 10056 City: Edmond

That's looking really good. You'll enjoy having that extra storage. Are you going to have any seats back there?

kartman · Posted: Apr 25, 2010 9:00 am Post subject:

the seats are not in the picture for this year. next winter i will be wrapping seats around the back and the port side. if the motor was good, i would have the funds. but for now, it will work for what we need. (and it leaves a lot of room for coolers!) and for the storage, i fit everything i had in the old boat in 1 of the compartments.

Okie Boarder · Ladies Man Joined: 03 Mar 2008 Posts: 10056 City: Edmond

So, next year the plan is to go with what you originally wanted, wrapping the seats like a v-drive, right?

I bet that storage is nice. It looks huge! Too bad I/O's don't like rear weight...you could fit some good sized ballast back there.

kartman · Posted: May 25, 2010 9:02 pm Post subject:

got the motor in. i would explain it more, but it is 11 at night. i will let the pics do the talking. had a hairy time when the winch cable slipped and dropped the motor 6". bent the engine cover frame, but didnt hurt anything else. besides that it went pretty smooth.

Looks good! I bet you're glad to have the engine in. When is the maiden voyage?

kartman · Posted: May 26, 2010 8:21 am Post subject:

if my alignment tool gets here on friday, i will be taking it out on sunday. (if it all goes well)

Ahhh the light at the end of the tunnel. Way to go Very Happy

After all said and done what did you invest in it?

Wow what an awesome project. The boat looks great. I like the winch system you made for your engine hoist!
