Figured the mob would be lighting the torches and sharpening the pitchforks after the last statement.

Next pics will a running motor? Hope so, Sig. She's been running you through the wringer.

Thanks Watermann.

The buyer is not going to notice the new triple sparred floors or transom, they aren't going to care about the hours scrutinizing over the ignition and water pump, nor will they care about the new rack and pinion, the new electrical, all the hardware being stainless steel, they are going to say ohhh pretty.

Nope I gotta clean her up and paint her first.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Like I tell my guys all the time, pay attention to the details & the rest will follow. If we aren't our harshest critics someone else will be & that's not any fun :cold:

I firmly believe that all this:

The buyer is not going to notice the new triple sparred floors or transom, they aren't going to care about the hours scrutinizing over the ignition and water pump, nor will they care about the new rack and pinion, the new electrical, all the hardware being stainless steel.....

Makes this:

.....they are going to say

ohhh pretty

.

All the more likely........

Coming together nicely Sig, go for top dollar.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

can't you just point them to this thread? That should ad value.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Heck no, then our secret SC ways will be out..........
well maybe, just maybe if the buyer's just the right sort to fit in around these parts :watermelon:

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Ohh no i plan on throwing in a free one year membership to the Stamada. Dues are paid in advance as a ton of pics of the boat have already been posted

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Looking good Sig. Glad to hear the motor issues are solved. When you put carpet down on your deck/floor, are you folding the edges under the deck/floor and stapling them there, or just cutting right at the edge? If cutting, are you using trim after?

 

[SigSaurP229]

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

J I have been using a combination of folding and stapling and trim.

The bow support board is stained sparred and in. I did a nice red mahagony on it.







Hoping for lots of progress over the next two days I would love to get the bow entirely wrapped up, gas tank mounted, electrical done.

Wish me luck the toddler is going to have ear tubes installed tomorrow, I won't be sleeping until tomorrow night.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

kind of puts boat projects in perspective, passionate tho we all are. hope it goes well, and that the surgeon has the same quality ethic as the folks on this board!

 

[Watermann]

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Yeah I remember my boy getting those tubes, oh about 20 some odd years ago. Made the constant ear infections go away though and no more of the worthless amoxicillin.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Best of luck to you and your little helper Sig!!

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Thanks guys this doc well he kind of lacks in bedside manner but as far as the medical stuff goes he is the best in the area he did my oldest and we most likely be in and out in about 15 minutes, and they are well worth it.

Bad looking bow rails

You can say that again, they are not real hard to make. I picked up a 20' length of 7/8" aluminum tubing for $34 even up here in the GWN.
