The engine hump. Lots of room for some chrome vents.

I'm thinking a trip to the car wash is on for the first of the week.

Can any one tell me what's missing off the back of the boat? Besides the drive and the hatch of course.

Not sure if this is a trick question but I'm going with,
No hull id since it was a prototype?

 

[cooperider]

Correct, also no stern eyes.

Now that's pretty cool, good save!! That would been a real shame if it had been cut up and sent to the dump!! So was it actually made for a jet from the factory or was this someones failed attempt at converting from it from an I/O to a jet?? Could that hull handle a small V8 or would that just be overkill? I know they have some pretty potent jet ski motors now'a'day's, bet it would be a fun hull with a jet!!

very nice find coop! I am sure it will be amazing when it is done.

Ok, I had to get my 185 deck mold back up on wheels so I could move it out of the way first. Got that done, and off loaded the boat onto a cart today.

More pictures. Better ones later.

Need to round up my buffing tools now. And my can of bathtub cleaner.

Blown Big Block?

Mmmmmm..... Donuts.

A few more pics from today.

One without so much glare.

The minimal interior wood.

And the bottom. If I fill in the jet hole, this would make a nice delta pad. But we'll see more of that when I flip it over.

Too bad I live so far away! I would love to spend time with you to learn more about fiberglass boats.

Simple Green, cleans like crazy.

Several weird bumps on the top, thought they might be blisters. Turns out they might be tree sap or something, they scrape right off.
