Here we go with the 16ss

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

I would go down with the frame to a glass shop and have them cut a new piece of tempered for you, it would be cheaper than polycarb and plexi I dunno about it even being serviceable in that application.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Hey H20 Mann the original was actually plexi. Pulled it apart and matched it perfectly, I have actually already cut the new piece and am ready to install it just need to put it in the frame and rivet it in place.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

agree with the others, that "comp" wholly lacks the infamous "pizazz" and your boat has it in spades. get some sunset pix of her on the water on a calm evening, with the reflections of the water and the awesome black paint relfecting off each other, then list it at 5.

Are rehab'd boats like houses, and $4975 will attract more buyers then a $5K boat? Or is it less???? :watermelon:

Good luck picking THE number, what ever it is.

Anyway, for sure shoot the CL pix as Glen suggests above.

List is getting short. Nice pencil BTW. How was/is it helpful to this process, it isn't even sharpened.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Oh yeah that's right I remember reading about some of those SS's that had plexi. I though it was glass when I saw the picture of it cracked.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

It took forever to shape that plexi I cut it with the grinder then shaped it with the belt sander.


Yeah JB she is due for a sharpening.


I am having a tough time coming up with a number. I am not expecting a huge amount of profit out of this thing, she is a pretty boat and all I am just not sure what the market is going to bear here.

I sold some more of donor boats hardware today, so that helps the tab a little.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Hook the electrical switches up going to top coat the motor when I get home from work tonight. Mount and rig the motor mount the steering, mount trailer fenders. and she is done.

Your lucky you don't have electrical Murphy Gremlins hanging around like I do, good to see all your progress Sig.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

If he is blowing on it, I hope it's with the first stage on the gun trigger... :lol:

A little soft core OB porn for the masses.... nice... :heh:

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Yep figured everyone would like it I was gonna lay some paint on the OB tonight but I think its gonna get to cold by the time I am home.

Hey GA your inbox is full.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Well i was trying to splash her before i left for the beach for a week didnt happen. So instead a rare weekend update. The motor looks awesome all painted up. The electrical is complete. Cowling needs painted. And basically its down to just mounting stuff in the boat. Murphy's visit from last weekend is fixed

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Some one filled my inbox, Sig. I won't mention any names. LOL

Today and tomorrow to finish her, right? Kick that Murphy outta town!

Sniff Sniff I don't smell the 2 stroke yet. LOL

Lookin' much better, Sig.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

That's sharp Sig! Grey will look much better against the black than the original color scheme!

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

OB looks great. Enjoy the beach............

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Looking good Sig

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Looks real good Sig. By the looks of your shop it's going to take you as long to clean it up and put it back together as it did to flip the SS. It's amazing how big a mess we can make in the final stages of putting a boat back together.:lol:

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Man Sig your shop floor looks like mine after a hard and fast weekend of tin work. :lol:

Except for the trike that is, my kids are grown and gone. :joyous:
