Been a busy summer! Couple updates as I would consider the Red October to be done!
For the bogging issue I was having I switched to my "reserve" pickup at the back of the tank and I haven't had the problem again. I am guessing the gas was sloshing around in the tank and causing it to suck air.
Also started to have a temp issue, wasn't going above 115 deg, so I replaced the thermostat and fixed that problem.
I finished buffing as well, looks fantastic and it sure seems to turn heads and get lots of complements out on the water. Thank you to those who have already
Remember when I installed the depth finder at the front of the hull? Well it didn't work. I don't know if the fiberglass was too thick at the center or if it was a bad depth finder (original) or what. But it wasn't reading correctly at any speed or stopped. (I knew it wouldn't work on plane) So I ended up installing one from another boat in the bilge that works fine. Gauge doesn't match but at least I can see depth clearly! That's a must where we go boating.
I took it up on our week long vacation to Georgian Bay, I don't trust leaving it tied up to the dock when we aren't there, we can get some pretty bad storm waves where the family cottage is. Had some really nice weather, top speed was 54
I haven't gotten any pictures of the flooring, I will try and get some soon!
