Alright I took the time to remember my S&F password, saved the pic to my puter and am uploading it from there just cause I'm so busy today

Interesting......Looks like that salt water makes even fiberglass rust.

The brown spots you're seeing are from the metal inserts that are installed in the backrest for securing the rear seat. I have not highspeed wheeled the gelcoat out yet..they should dissappear once I detail the boat...besides, they'll be covered by the rear seat anyway. John, thanks for posting the pics. I think my pictures don't show because I'm not a paying member anymore..so I'm going to rejoin!!!

Let's see if I can get this right!! The top photo is prepped, sanded and painted. The bottom two photo show what I started with!!!!

Looking good. Can't wait to see how it comes out.

Spent a little time on the Pulsare yesterday. I started re-rigging the bilge are routing my harnesses. Installed the battery box and oil injection tank mount (just incase I use it). I also wet sanded the entire hull with
wet/dry 1000. It was nice to see the bright white gelcoat along with the green and purple stripes come back to life!!! The brightness of the colors has remotivated me to keep moving forward. Next I'm going to wet sand the entire boat with wet/dry 1200. Then I'll high speed wheel it with 3M Finness It and finish it off with Maguires Marine wax. I've got January 20th through the 23rd off so I'm sure I'll get alot of work done that weekend!!

Progress made yesterday. Wet sanded the whole boat with 1200 wet/dry. Hit the topdeck with 3M Finnessit and a high speed wheel. Then did two coats of Maguires Cleaner Wax and a high speed wheel. The pictures were taken at dusk but you can see the color and shine came back!!

Looks great! I can see your reflection and even in the dark.

Just ordered a set of Panther Marine 4" Setback brackets for the Pulsare. I think these are the best 4" setbacks in the market. Not only are they anodized black, they are built out of 1/2" T-6 heat treated aluminum and have a flared shape to them giving you a wider footprint against the transom for more support. These are the same setback brackets I used on the AE-21.

I think I had the panther brackets on my 06. I got them from hotdaddy. They worked awesome and look great with a Merc. There was no sticker, but they were black 4" setback brackets identical to those.

Yep, those are them. Never had that purple sticker.

Yup..just a bit brighter and shinier!! If it was raining today I would've installed the new setback brackets!

You enjoy working in the rain?

LMAO! That should've read "If it wasn't raining"!!

Even though I have this Pulsare up for sale, I'm still moving forward with my restoration. I just made custom backing plates/transom savers for the inside of the transom. They are made from 3" wide aluminum bar and are 1/2" thick. The cool thing was watching the metal shop punch the mounting holes out of the aluminum. They have a 1 ton press that cuts through the aluminum like it's butter!!! The bars will receive two coats of black paint before being installed.

Jup,

Are you putting another jack plate on this as well ? Do all the holes match up ? I would like to put more setback on mine, I have a 5.5" CMC hydro. Not sure if the holes match up so I am hesitant.

Mike, the holes are UIM bolt pattern and match up perfectly. I Installed my setback brackets today. Sorry for the crummy I-Phone picture. I'll shoot some better photos of the setback and the transom saver brackets I made.

Now that River Ranch is done, I have some more time to work on the Pulsare. I pulled it out of storage, gave it a good bath and did some minor rerigging in the bilge. It's time to order new rub rail insert...should I stick with white or switch it to black???
