Anything new?
« on: November 18, 2011, 08:22:58 PM »
I havent been on here much for the last several weeks but it hasnt changed much since then.
Whats new? I know winter is approaching for many of us but...
Wex? CSS progress?
Mark GT150?
Brian? Boat floor? Little squirt?
David..any prop news?
Chris?
Well it is only November I guess.

I'm going to start a thread about my ingrown nose hair pretty soon!  :D
I've been doing some work on the 175 and I'll post something this weekend.

Well you are one lucky devil down there in AZ. It is 31 degrees with freezing drizzle here in Nebraska. My Starflite is all tucked in for the winter under a tarp on the trailer.

Still sanding the hull Ross, having to do it when time and weather allows outside.  (Makes too big of a mess inside the garage.)  Maybe if I held the shop vac hose in one hand, the sanding block in the other???

I did come up with what I hope to be a killer motor for the project though......

Chris, you are obviously self employed. Havent you been off since the meet?! Nice.

Mark, you wet sanding? It looked like the finish was pretty nice?
I saw your new acquisition in another thread. Looks like a good score and besides, you are more familiar with Evinrudes.

The camera is much kinder to it than the eyeball, Ross.  The deck has been painted, but the hull was original and in pretty bad shape.  (Had a few repairs to do also, which are done and need faired out now.)  The transom skin had two sets of mounting holes, plus some 1/4" screw (?) holes used to mount an aluminum "reinforcement plate" installed by a PO somewhere along the line.  Gonna try my hand at painting the hull, and if it doesn't match well I'll repaint the deck as well.

I haven't started the wet sanding yet, but it won't be long until I'm at that point.............hopefully.   ;)
