drains right out the back from the one corner of it he didnt show. or atlease mine does
After seeing all the holes drilled in and through the transom, I vowed to only drill the 4 holes for the jack plate. The splash well drain will dump out the bottom (as shown) the water will then tie into the overboard discharge line from the bilge pump. There will be a check valve in the line to keep the water from back flowing into the pump. The discharge is the starboard side rear.
Look what I found in the corner of the garage. Looks much better sitting back there. All I need now is to find some 150 decals. I also added the checkmate decals. Only had them for 3 years. LOLOL Still have to get the other vents back from a buddy, he was powder coating them.

I am using the factory windshield, but like everything on this boat I customized it a bit. I took 6" of height out and painted the frames black.
The modded one on the right.

The trailer looks a bit out of place now. I think that will be next winter's project. I have a gal. of yellow left.
Picked up the foam for the interior parts should be interesting.
Picked up the foam for the interior parts should be interesting.
Broke the plastic off the roll of vinyl today. Very nice stuff. Started with the window supports. Painted the frames black and covered the wood with the vinyl. Should look good as the frames will cover the staples. Also found the great invention called an electric stapler. Oh BABY. POWER TOOLS ARE COOL. Life is much better now. I decided to do these 1st, once done I can mount the windshield.
Gotta love air tools. I looked at the air stapler, just about got one, but there was a major price difference. Once the boat is done it may be awhile before I have to use it again. I may have to look for a powered rivet gun as the rub rail has to go on. Only about a 100 rivets. Good hand workout.
Spent the afternoon putting the rub rail back on. 127 3/16's aluminum rivets and the blister to prove it. Got the black insert in and found out that it must have shrunk about 6" during the last 3 years. I will have to work on that. Also completed the first interior part. Its the support for the passenger side dash. Going to mount the windshield on that side tomorrow.
