    1992 Riviera Cruiser refresh

    Details, Details, Details......... Well, it is done. I went back to my local sign shop and had them whip up some decals for me. We had a little christening ceremony for the Blue Lagoon. When I started a long while back there was a zip tie I put on the front just to hold something...

    Swivel Bench Seat - Here is the swivel bench seat with the rail mounted. Now all you have to do is grab the handle and it will swivel away from the rail and form a booth with the back benches. All hardware is stainless. I will be powder coating the rail to match the sink cabinet on the...

    We are getting near the finish line. Below you can see the pics of the finished sink base. Had a real fun time with the pin stripes! The powder coating came out great. The stripes were put on to match the stripes on the outside of the fence. If you look at the frame it was powder coated in...

    Sink is framed in. So I got the sink base and top back from the welder this weekend. It came out really nice. As you can see the frame is 1" aluminum I plan to powder coat gray and the sink top will be powder coated navy blue like the carpet. There is a 5 gallon blue jug which was an old...

    Remounting the fire extinguisher. So I decided to replace the fire extinguisher that came with a boat. It was a decision made easier once I closed one of the seats and a loud shushing sound was heard followed by a cloud of white wafting up from around the seat cushion...... (It was...

    Cable support. I mounted a fish finder transducer on the back of the pontoon. However I was not certain how to get the cable to be neat against the back of the pontoon. So I went back to my metal guy and had him weld me up a quick support. I simply bolts to the top of my bracket and has...

    Aft Decks.... As you can see, I rearranged the things on the back decks from when I bought the boat. Originally, it had 2 tanks and 1 battery. Now I have 2 batteries (one dedicated deep cycle for the helm/electronics/etc) and one that is dedicated to starting the motor, but I have the option...

    Can you hear me now??? Antenna install..... I installed a Uniden Marine VHF radio in the helm. Luckily I was able to mount it on the port side aft platform. In order for it to clear the garage and low hanging things, I mounted the antenna on a ratchet swivel, so it can be lowered along the...

    Moved controls. Originally we had the controls mounted on the left side of the helm which did not work well for me on the test drive. With a little help from a metal shop, I had them bend me a piece of aluminum that fit between the railings. On that I was able to mount the controls. In...

    Convertible seating....... OK, So we were thinking...... how can we get things set up so we can eat together and yet still have the traditional pontoon seating along the back and side? Simply have the side bench swivel. Here is the seating as a more traditional style. Then you can swivel...

    And we're back. Just last weekend, I had a chance to pull the beast out from the garage. Over the winter I put on the fence and helm. I knew that the helm would be a few inches too tall to clear the garage door opening, but with a little help it should be fine. Of course, my helper had...

    This past summer I purchased my first boat for my family to take on the lakes in NY. We have been on a friend's boat and had a good time. Now it is my turn to own one. I want to use this thread to document the boat's refresh (as it seems good, just looks tired). Hope to gain some good...

    MWS wiring harness question on warning lights

    OK, I have a 1992 Riviera Cruiser that "had" an Evinrude outboard with the old style wiring harness. Fast forward, at some point the engine was swapped out for a 1996 48 SPL with the new MWS wiring harness. They removed both connectors and butt spliced the controls together. Now in...

    Riviera Cruiser Owners - Need a little help with capacity plate

    I restoring a 1992 Riviera Cruiser CSR2022 pontoon boat. As you can see the capacity plate that was stuck to the helm has long since been destroyed. I would like to see if there are any other Riviera Cruiser owners out there that may have a model CSR 2022 that would not mind letting me know...
