    WebbCraft Complete Restoration

    Its been way too cold but I'm trying to work on items in the garage. I completely rebuilt the gimbal/bell housing and trim pump. Now I'm working on the swim platform. Its in rough shape but hopefully after sanding off 20 years and getting it oiled it should be good for another 20 years.

    MC1 Gimbal with Alpha Gen 1

    Just to circle back and close this tread off I did have to go back and use the splined pin because I have a MC1 bell housing. However, all is well. I have it back together and ready to go back on the boat once I'm ready for it. Thanks for the help.

    Thanks. That’s what I was hoping to hear. I may just restore this one. Any chance you could share some pictures of yours or do you have a thread?

    I've been on the hunt for a parts boat and this decided to follow me home. However, after looking it over I'm begging to wonder if I should just rebuild it. Its rough but the hull is in good shape and probably clean up. the interior would need to addressed and the floor has a couple soft...

    MC1 Gimbal with Alpha Gen 1

    well I got my pin in today and it doesn't fit. comparing the old and the new the new pin is just a bit larger and the seal that came with it doesn't fit either. I'm guessing I have the mc1 bell housing is why.

    the boat had floatation boxes on the sides that looked like they were made out of 1/8 wood with foam in the middle. I had plenty of the blue board left over from the templates so I cut them to size and glued them to replace what was there before. Once I had them all laminated together I glued...

    Once I got everything as close as I could I coated the bottoms and sides with two coats of epoxy and used thickened epoxy to set and used 17 oz to wet on wet to completely cover and mate to the old glass. Then I used a bunch of fairing and sanding. Its close but probably need to put a guide...

    Next up was building back the bow. from the factory there was a step down coming out of the bow. i wanted a smooth transition so i cut the bottom off and extended it down. i used blue insulation panels for templates and bottle jacks to get everything lined up on the windshield. Also, with...

    Once I had the foam in and all those pucks epoxied back down I laid down two layers of 17oz over the whole floor. I don't have any of the completed pictures of that but if I remember correctly I should have applied more epoxy down as I had a couple of dry spots I had to address where the wood...

    Happy New Year! Well its been a minute since I've posted last. I didn't stop work on the project but it did take a backseat to a lot of other projects around the house and I neglected my documentation here. However, I'm starting to devote more time as I really need to get this done this...

    MC1 Gimbal with Alpha Gen 1

    Thanks. Looks like they had the option of either the spline or square not sure why. I did measure the OD and the best I could tell its 1". so now I just need to get a new pin and a square steering arm.

    MC1 Gimbal with Alpha Gen 1

    thanks. I've missed a few after the past couple months but I'll keep looking. I don't think that part is what I'm looking for. Here is what I took out.

    MC1 Gimbal with Alpha Gen 1

    I'm working the mechanicals of this mess of a 1978 webbcraft boat. Over the years its had a lot of hands on it and not in a good way. but it appears that they have replaced the drive to an alpha 1 but still has the mc1 gimbal on it. I've spent the last couple days breaking it down to do a...

    So at some point someone thought it was a good idea to cut holes these side boxes to speakers would fit... nice path for water to get under the deck...
