Hi guys,
My uncle bought an intimidator in 1988, and I bought it in december after he passed. Unfortunately he converted it to an outboard motor so the boat is not in its original form. The engine is a 200hp 1988 yamaha 2 stroke with only 412 hours. So, what's the project involve? The floor and bottom are in good shape, no need for a full restoration. The deck isn't soft although there's signs of wear. Most of all, it needs a new interior and new top gelcoat. I'm thinking of keeping the original exterior colors, but redoing the interior differently. Where I'm keeping the boat there is a lot of humidity, so it could take weeks for the carpet to dry. I'm opting for either finishing the floor in gelcoat with anti-skid or vinyl epa wood simulation flooring, but not sure. Recommendations welcome.
The engine is finally in working order, I replaced all the electrical parts and she fires right up. We're at high altitude at 6200ft of altitude, so we lose about 20% of power on the 200 Yamy. Not sure what prop yet since I my odometer is shot, and I'm not sure it's jetted right for the altitude. The current prop is a 21-M, but I think it runs out of In any case, I'm uploading the pics as an eye opener. All suggestions are appreciated.
