[Bill]

Bought this boat last week. Its a 25 with a ford 460. Going to be a project over the fall and winter.

a few more "befores"

 

[El Mar]

You wanna borrow my power washer?? LoL.

 

[Bill]

Ha ya that's the first job. Every surface of the boat needs to be redone

 

[El Mar]

She's got good bones. Can't wait to see the progress over the winter.

At your local news stand now !!!!! made this for a buddy years ago so i just edited it a bit. Hope you don't get mad at me Bill ?

 

[Bill]

Thanks Steve . Oh no it's gonna be a beaut. Per my usual ill rebuild it a few times before I'm happy.. Gonna learn a lot . My pipe dream is to look like the one attached

 

[Bill]

Why don't you get cookin on that visor so you can show me how to do it!

That black rig looks great but i'd be careful with the dark colors fading, i'm dealing with that myself. Matter of fact i've been thinking hard on how to do it ?? Trying to figure out how to make a mold with the curve of the roof built into it and then how to make the edges roll over so it looks like it has some nice thickness to it. Compound curves always do me in !! I'm thinking going solid glass for it. Masonite mold ???
Here's one i was interested in when i was looking.

 

[Bill]

That's a slick boat. Not worried about color fading. Paint is easy enough to apply every 5 years or so.

Now THAT is a rehab project.

Seems you can kill these little 25 footers.

btw, how big of a prop can these 25 T Jason's swing
Tom who sold the boat stated there's a 20X20 prop on the boat now.
Seems like the hull could swing a bigger wheel diameter?

Yes ? No ?

 

[Raider Ronnie]

Bill,
I suspect the boat is still in the shipping process.
When do you expect it to be up here ?

 

[Bill]

Ya it got picked up today, will be in quincy around 10-11 tomorrow morning.

Bill I am sure it can. I havent been there in my mind yet. Thats the sort of thing that will come in time. I am more worried about rebuilding what is there and having a running boat.. the re propping etc will come by the second season

Looks like a little fluff and buff Bill. Good luck with her. You know where we are if you need anything.
