geeviam Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Outlaw, I noticed a bit of curve/bend in your trim tabs. Was that intentional? ... because I like the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE OUTLAW Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Built a dbl flusher for the top and bottom of motor 🇺🇸☠️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilemaker Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Looks like a convenient setup I would advise on keeping the top cut off when the motor is running. With water going into the pump at lower unit there is a small chance of water back flowing into the water system. It is a pure technical possibility and I would not worry but in today's world of PC someone will make a big deal of nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcathey Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Removing decals, sanding the cowling, it should be repainted in the next few days. I’m adding some custom decals and next week the Stars and Stripes blue gel coat will be getting some bright blue fresh awlgrip to match everything on the boat. I’m pumped. Pics soon. How many underwater lights do you need on a 22? Is on enough? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 looking forward to "after" pics on this one. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Well, after almost giving up on the repair/restore of my 2000 MA, we're moving forward again. Got a reasonable estimate on repairing the crack on the chine (have already addressed the internal structural issues that caused it) and we'll get that done in January. And, as a bonus, I just got a quote on a full re-wire, including a new switch panel, switches, etc. With the "removable deck," the price was affordable, so when we finish, she really will be better than new. Better wiring, better switches, better stringers. And MAYBE someday, I'll really get to use her again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcathey Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Progress pics, cowling primed, decals removed and hull cleaned. Priming that tomorrow. We set up a temporary paint booth in the unused office on that side of my shopfor the cowling work so we can jump back and forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
