These days it's better to be working too much as opposed to not at all!

Thats awsome!

guess its a good thing you had to work so much the last few months, considering its a downturn economy and all....congrats on the work!

Re: WELLCRAFT 232 eclipse repower and restoration!!!

beautiful boat and even better pretty shiney new parts. cant wait to see you make progress on it. I am going to gelcoat my bilge and skilocker just to add waterproofing to them. It will keep water from getting to the stringers and that is good.

Congratulations Betayv!!

She sure is pretty! I wish you all the best during your refit. It looks like my boat is turning a shade of green

Love the new parts as, I am sure most of us do. I have been looking at these boats for a while now. Really like the layout of the boat. I am also impressed with the performance with the 7.4 cruises @ 35mph pushes to 60mph easily. I have subscribed to your thread and, eagerly await your updates.

Wow! Betayv
I would love to have that kinda temp. It has been no warmer than 8 degrees ( if my math is correct, damn metric) for the past three weeks. Maybe in February I'll get 45. Your boat is a 92 or 93 right? Either way the 232's max HP is 300 @ the prop. The question is how many horsies do you lose from the engine? I'll keep looking in some of the other forums.

Keep at it Betayv! I'm freezin right along with you!

Re: WELLCRAFT 232 eclipse repower and restoration!!!

Aparently you guys should move north It has been in the 40's for the last week. Those southern temperatures sound cold from up here. I am 10 miles from the canadian border.

Re: WELLCRAFT 232 eclipse repower and restoration!!!

Hello, just bought the same boat. Had a summer of engine trouble, but not much more that can be rebuilt now.

I am very interested in the fiberglass deck on your boat. Mine is carpeted and would love to have what you have. Can you tell if or how someone installed that? No experience on how to put in a fiberglass nonskid deck. When out tubing you bring alot of water back in and that would be much easier to control.
Thanks,
Mark
