Thats funny stuff. Soaking up the last few days of warm weather. Then the nast cold stuff will set in and then the garage will feel good.

Not kidding! When you started, I was driving the Pulsare. Then I got the Glastron I/O, then I got the Four Winns OB and the Hydrostream Viper OB. And now I'm serously considering peddling the Fourwinns ultimate tubing boat and picking up another used Pulsare BR................So hurry up and get that bumble bee finished before I make it 5!!!

I am planning on holding off until you get a Pulsare again. Then we will have come full circle. Then the race would be fun.

Spent the morning getting the window seals back in to the channels. That was just to much fun for words. Test fit to the boat and as luck (mine anyways) would have it. One side fits great, the other is going to need to have to modification done to it. It just does not sit right. Ah the joy.

Aw, remember you was upside down when you first modified them.

Hurry up Gus! I'm eye-balling an SS2000 right now......Pulsare #2 might have to wait a year or two....................

Finally got some time to work on the boat. Got the side pads finished on the front. Back panels are soaking up resin, and a little added bling where the gaping stereo hole was.

 

[illMATTic]

[175checkmate]

If its not I think my better half is going to make me live in the garage.

 

[jonnyspeed]

Looking good Gus

Gus, great looking boat. I'm doing the same project as you, just not as extravigent. What size (height) side pads did you put on the front half. They look smaller then factory and not as bulky. Keep up the great work, the end is near. You have surely inspired alot of us.

 

[175checkmate]

The front side pads are about 6" tall. The ones that where there before just looked to big. So I scaled them back a bit. They still hit all three of the mounting points where the old one where.

 

[FlaBoater]

Just checked out most of this thread. All I can say Gus is WOW!!! I hope my restore turns out as well. I have the same mindset as you do. Take the time to do it right. What brand of paint did you use?
