After seeing Barry and Walts new Nitros this year, I was getting the new boat fever, BAD!
And since I've never bought a New boat, I decided I would.
Then I started shopping...
Holy Crap they are proud of them. To replace what I have would be close to $80K. After the sticker shock wore off I decided to rehab the old girl I have.
Josh and I are fishing today and then pulling the boat.
Detail and pics to follow.

If you are patient, you can find a new Triton for way less than retail but you have be looking daily as the great deals don't last long.

FD, you've made a great call. I don't know how folks are buying these boats now a days... well I know, they are setting the loans up like a mortgage and the boat isn't worth a 1/3 of what they own 4 years into a 15 year loan. Anyway, you'll be so much prouder of rehabing the ole girl and I think you'll get a lot more looks going down the road...
Bud Kennedy has a very sharp ranger and it's age makes it even more impressive to me.
I'll be looking forward to watching this thread ~c~ ~c~

I have absolutely no regrets about the rehab of my old Ranger (soon to be 30 years old). Although many will say it is not fiscally a good decision. I just like my old ranger and did not want buy a new boat. The boat has turned out just great and does attract a bit of attention just because it is old but looks fairly new. I will probably still need a new motor one day but not now. If a deal would come along for a repower I would consider it but I don't see that happening. It still has some scrapes and bumps as a result of its bass fishing life but to me that is a badge of honor. You can't fish Santee all these years and not have the infamous "Santee Stripe".

She's in great mechanical shape. I replaced the computer and injectors in 2016. Rebuilt the Sea Star steering in 2018 and the TM early this summer.
The carpet and gel coat above the rub rail are shot. I'm using a local sign and wrap shop for the wrap and I've got a mobile Sea Dek installer coming to get me a price.
I may go back with carpet, it just depends on the cost difference.
I think I'm goin with a "snow camo" color theme but I want to see them in my hand.
A full service with plugs and impeller is first on the list.
My buddy Dave is going to get started on stripping the carpet and old adhesive this week.

I sometimes miss my TR21 but damn they are narrow compared to newer boats. Guess that's why they haul ass.

Lee might want to get a quote from Line-x. They do the Spray-In truck bed liners.
At least on trucks they Guaranty their work and they can Color Match as well.
Gives the beds a slightly rough texture. I'd think they could do a boat deck as well.
Just a thought for another option.
The Sea Deck is very nice and extremely comfortable to stand on, something for you you need.

Lee, what intrigues me about Sea Deck is it dries extremely fast. They say after about 15 minutes in the sun it's totally dry. It also is easier to clean than carpet. Just take a deck brush to it and hose it out. Lastly, it provides cushion to ease fatigue when standing all day. I'm seriously considering it in my next boat

The down side about sea dek from what I hear is that it retains a lot of heat on sunny days. If you like to ever walk around your boat or fish barefoot, that might not be a good thing, where carpet usually doesn't get as hot. If it's constantly getting wet, I guess it wouldn't matter. I can't say I've seen many boats with sea dek here in the desert lakes of Arizona or New Mexico.

The guys from Castaways Customs are coming out on Thursday to measure and get me a quote for the Seadek.
In the meantime we're still working on getting all the glue residue off the glass sections of the boat.
We've pulled all the aluminum hatch covers. The two rods locker hinges were riveted so we had to drill them out.
Pulled the TM and badging off to get ready for the wrap.
Put the rub rail back in place.
Pulled the old radio and water proof cover. New one being installed.
So far I've got about 30 hours of labor in it.
More Pics to follow.

We had a busy day today. We should finish the stripping of all the glue and carpet remnants tomorrow.
The Seadek guy was here at noon and we spent an hour going over the options.
Settled on the 6 mm over most of the boat. On the front deck I'm going with the 13 mm high density.
On the compartment between the seats I'm going with a 20mm low density. With the new bucket seats I put in last spring my jump seat will not fit.
The bottom line is $2200 installed and warranted for 3 years.
The digital laser mearsuring is happening Tuesday at which point I'll get a computer mock up for final approval.
Then I went to the wrap shop. Picked out the wrap pattern and colors. I get a mock up next week and it's scheduled for the 13th. $3000 including the wrap on the poles, motor cowling and the trailer fenders.
Basically I'm getting a brand new looking boat for under $6k plus a lot of labor.
We're pulling the dash tomorrow and going to paint and seal it before the wrap.

Man that is some work but it will be well worth it, looking forward to the finished pictures. I know some people don't like posting what they are paying for something but I appreciate the fact that you did post cost, I may not ever get my boat wrapped but you never know on the floor covering so now I know it is not out of the question.

FD, does the wrap go on before the flooring or is it flooring first? I have never seen Sea Deck before and anxious to see what it looks like. I saw their website but really curious what it will look like in a bass boat. Sounds like a great idea. I did carpet 2 years ago but considered different finishes but ultimately decided to stay with carpet. My cost for carpet, prep and installation was $1,200 and that included installing a recessed trolling motor pedal tray. Are you going to do anything with your Outboard motor cowling or leave it as is.

Bud - Good question. We have had to figure out a few problems going back with Seadek vs Carpet. The major hurdle with Seadek in a bass boat is its thickness and it can only be installed on flat surfaces.
The first problem was the drain channels in the cockpit. SeaDek full sheets are only 8x4 which will not span the entire floor. So there will be 3 pieces in the cockpit. The drain channels will be covered with the wrap material first. The Seadek gets routed on the edges. My color combo is snow camo over black. When they rout the edges it will give the appearance of a black border.
The second issue is the side of the lids which are typically covered with carpet. You don't have a gap with carpet but I will so we are wrapping the sides of the lids as well as the lid recesses before the Seadek is installed. When you look down on the finished product, you will see each individual panel with an outline of black with the camo wrap filling the gaps. There are also at least 4 other small areas on the deck where the Seadek will not cover that we will put wrap down first.
I found a pic of a boat with the camo over black that I will try to post. Where you see white boat in the pic, on mine the gaps will be much smaller, but you will see the camo wrap material. The snow camo Seadek in the pic is the exact product I'm installing. The wrap camo pattern is similar but we enlarged the pattern scale to 4 times the size and added more solid black and white to it.

The motor cowling and the power poles are also being wrapped.

FD, my top cap too is toast and you can feel the metal flake. I like the idea of just doing a wrap for the top cap above the rub rail. Gonna have to look into that at one of our local shops who do wraps. I have no idea what that would cost but could really make the boat look better. I have been wondering if the Pro Tech Nu Paint treatment might do the job vs a wrap treatment.

It's hard for me to say what you might like Lee. I'm a Blue & Green kind of guy, so I like those colors and shades while you may not.
The Snow Camo would not be my choice, but it might be perfect for you. Having it both Inside on the Seadek and outside on the Boat might be an Overload on your eyes. Or it may be Perfect once you see it for real.
I do agree with Barry that something about the Red in the Lettering caught my eye almost immediately as being "off", although I can't say why.
A Question since your boat was already White, Does the Sun reflect off of it into your eyes as you fish? Something I've always wondered about with the Bright Sun we get here.

I think the black in the camo is distracting away from the lettering. What is more important to you? Do you want people to notice the camo or the lettering on the side? Could you maybe go to a larger pattern camo and get rid of the black entirely?
It could also just be that the red lettering is not dark or dense enough to make it stand out against such a strong camo pattern with black in it. It appears as though the lettering isn't anywhere near as dark as the trailer it's trying to match.

I like 5. I think the red trailer is throwing it off visually. Should look good in the water.

I'm swapping position of the FDX and AE logos.
I'm also thinking about rotating the AE logo 180* on the battery compartment so you can read it it right side up from the cockpit. Any thoughts?
Most of the original small black step pads we thought we were going to leave in place, but the more we cleaned everything else, the worse they looked. At $18 per SF installed I decided to replace them all.

I like the idea of new material on the steps. Make sure it sticks out with having clients on board.
My wife broke her leg on a charter in Florida in Toho. The whole boat was white and being sunny with sunglasses she missed the step.
Oh she finished the fishing trip and caught a 10 lber.
The decal on the battery box needs flipped 180 like you said.

When we pulled the dash assembly yesterday we found the dash is in pretty bad shape structurally.
It's going to take many hours to rebuild it then paint/ wrap it.
Anyone know where I can just buy an entire assembly? Several hours of google searches haven't produced much.

Make one out of 1/8 Aluminum.
Easy to do if you have the old one for a pattern.
Prime it with Self Etching Primer (available at Home Depot/Lowe's/ WM) then paint whatever color you want.

To this point we have around 70 hours of labor in this project.
What started as a wrap and re-carpet, has turned into a full blown rehab.

All the dash parts I need may be in "the barn". They were going digging and are going to call me back.

Seadek is made in 4x8 sheets like plywood.
FYI
About 10 years ago Seadek received a Federal grant to move their manufacturing facilities from China to Rockledge Fl.
Next door is the Castaway Customs cutting facility which is partially owned by the same group as Seadek.

I found sheets of the seadek on amazon. I think I'm going to order a sheet and cut it to fit in my kayak. should help with noise reduction and give me a fairly firm standing surface.

5-7 years typically in the Fl sun but since I keep it under cover they're saying closer to 10 before the fading starts.

Lots of work remains. How long will it take to install the Seadek after the wrap is complete? I imagine it will take another 2-4 days to re install all the hardware, the guages, trolling motor etc. Then another full day at least to put all your stuff back in the boat. Lots to do before the upcoming meet and greet.

They should finish with 95% of the wrap by Thursday. I'll pick it up then and start putting the hardware back on the boat.
C and O marine has all the dash and bow hood pieces I need and are sending them out tomorrow UPS. Hopefully I'll have them early next week.
The Seadek will only take a day to install once all the pieces have been cut on the CnC machine. Castaway Customs are saying that should be installed next week.
Once the Seadek is in the boat will go back to
Florida Signs and Graphics for any touch up and to fill in any holes not covered by the Seadek. They will also wrap the trailer at this time.
In the meantime I've started thinning the "boat layer" of crap, repairing rods and cleaning reels so the reload should only take a few hours.
Still shooting to put her in the water 2/15 to test the hardware after the reinstall.

I have to say my personal taste from the original pictures you were posting I was thinking I'm not to fond of that. But now on your boat I have to agree with others. It looks really really nice. For some reason it was coming across as gaudy to me until these latest pictures that show it to be really a lot more subtle. I like it a lot as if that matters since its not my boat. lo Still had to throw my .02 in. ~roflmao
I have helped wrap cars before and when it is cold it can be a ^-^. We always brought the vehicle in the shop and set up heaters the evening before to try and get it to a reasonable temperature. Also the wrap works best when at or near room temp.

They send a 2 man crew and say 2-3 hours is all they need to install, which was shocking to me as well. Once everything is cut, it is just a peel and stick install. Seadek has a pressure sensitive adhesive backing and they use a heavy roller once they stick it in place.

C and O sent out my parts yesterday and UPS says they will be here tomorrow! $700 for a complete dash including the dash hood and instrument trim pieces, bow hood with toggle switches, and new Triton badges for the boat and trailer.
I ordered new perko nav light bases this morning. The original ones were pitted and flaking. Even though I have LED nav lights I kept the old style pole lights as a backup if the leds fail on a tournament morning. ( which has happened at least once)
We'll start putting the hardware back on the boat this weekend.
I'm off today so I'll be going through all the crap that came out of the boat and make the first attempt at thinning it out. The plan is if I did not use it in the last year, other than safety equipment, it's not going back in the boat. We'll see how that works out.

Good luck thinning the herd. Of course you realize that a couple of items being culled will actually be the one thing you will need for that special condition. I will be doing the same thing real soon also. I know it will be a gigantic urination tournament that likely will result in most of the stuff being returned to the boat bit by bit.

Stopped by today. It's getting close. Just the stern and the motor and poles left to do.
Most wraps aren't nearly this intensive. The cockpit took a couple of days by itself.

You working up my way? They just started on one in Deltona about a mile from my house. Bought 85 acres and stripped it to dirt in about 2 weeks. Now they are starting on the Build.
Supposed to be 1.4 Million Sq Ft Warehouse. Run 24/7. Allow 1 day delivery. Also have Pick Up at the warehouse.

After seeing how they laid the wrap up on your front deck, will the seadeck come right up to those edges? Maybe with just a little overlap? Either way its a totally hot looking boat, keep the pics coming please!

So there were several complications that showed up yesterday.
First was some of the Seadek pieces were either measured or cut wrong. There were also some missing. Lance from Castaway's was awesome. He took full responsibility even though it wasn't his mistake, got on the phone, then pulled out his laser and remeasured the cockpit. They should have the new pieces installed by Friday.
Secondly, the gaps around the compartment lids normally covered in carpet look HUGE. It's a cool look and they should actually stay clean but we're going to have cover them with the wrap. FS&G are printing some 2" wide strips of white Kryptek so we can install ourselves.

The last two were our fault.
We put all the lid shock mounts and screws plus other small pieces we did not want to loose in a plastic storage container.
Then we lost the container....
That's why the 4 front locker pads aren't on the boat.
Fortunately Dave found it last night at his house. He had taken some parts home to paint and forgot he had it.
The last one is totally on me.
The original Lowrance in dash unit WAS going back in. I use it for high speed sonar because it has a thru hull puck and I can get bottom readings up to 45 mph with it. But to put it back in would destroy the new dash. They had too large of a unit in to begin with.
So I've decided to move my Helix 5 from the bow to the dash. Motorola makes an adaptor to go from Lowrance transducer to Humminbird fish finders so I ordered one.
I'm going to add a Helix 7 MDI to the bow and network it with my ram mounted Helix 10 SI at the helm.
This configuration will give me;
2D Chirp sonar in the dash at speed from the H5
SI and DI at helm at idle speed with the H10
And Mega Down Imaging from the H7 thru the built in MDI transducer in my Ulterra TM.
My goal this year is to be less of a bank beater and learn to find and catch the much less pressured off shore fish. This setup should help that.

Yesterday, as we were putting the lids on, we noticed that all of the Seadek is too small. When the lids were aligned and tightened down, it was obvious.
Something happened in the process of measuring or cutting that produced pieces that are between 1/4" to 1/2" too narrow all the way around. I've done some limited CnC work and it's easy to get your offsets wrong is your not paying attention.
I sent a sternly worded email to my Project Manager to either re measure and recut the entire boat, or send me a check for my deposit and I'll have someone else do it.

We will see how they respond.
My guys know that if they build something of this poor quality then I'll make them take it out and rebuild it before the client ever sees it. That's how I trained them. If I have to train the Castaway guys too, so be it.
The rest of the build is going great except that Dave and I are both meticulous SOBs and it's taking a little longer than planned. Honestly, that should have been expected.
The new water proof switches and female TM plug for the bow hood got here late yesterday.
We're waiting on a USB charging panel that I decided to add for the helm control station and it will be complete.
We're waiting on an in dash kit for the H5 and that will be done.
Today I'm going to try my hand at wrapping some trim pieces while Dave finishes the lid install.

That's what we thought when we stood back and looked at it. How could they be this far off? We should have checked everything on Friday when we found the cockpit pieces were too small. I know they measure and then input a border offset. I'm thinking it is something as simple as the 19 year old running either the CAD or CNC just punched in the wrong offset. It almost looks like everything got shrunk by 10%. Just weird.
I think they will do the right thing. I went with them based on experience and reputation even though they were 20% higher in cost than the other company.

I wrapped a few more trim pieces in the black then we spent the afternoon trying to get lids to light up strait.
Apparently it's not such an important thing in the factory. You can't tell with the same color carpeting covering everything.

Had a several productive conversations with Castaway today. They agree that the fit looked horrible. They checked the remeasure of the cockpit versus the original measure and found a problem in the CAD file.
Lance is coming back out tomorrow to start from scratch.
While I went back to work today to pay the bills, Dave finished up the lid alignment and install.
He also installed a few trim parts that I wrapped this weekend.

When we were trying to get the shifter back together yesterday with the side plate we made, the kill switch broke. The new one should be here Wednesday and hopefully we will have the dash, helm controls and shifter back in by Thursday night.

Lance from Castaway came out yesterday and measured the entire boat again. He said the kid that measured the first time put in a 3/8" offset and that's why the pieces were too small.
When I asked how long to get everything redone, he said that I'm in the "high priority" list and they should get finished next week.
I have to say even though there were major issues, Castaway's customer service has been great.
The new kill switch got here a day early so we now have all the parts to put her back together unless we break something else..

We're at a standstill waiting on Castaways. I've got real job work to do this weekend so it's just as well.
Dave will get back on it Monday. We're down to electrical and some minor touches until we get the front pad so we can remount the TM and Helix 7.
I get some pics in the morning.

Parts of the cowling that weren't wrapped we painted along with other trim pieces.

There is a cost for this but don't really remember how much but I believe somewhere in the area of $5 or so. I think the only color available is white letters

Lance was on time but we are still missing 3 pieces which will be installed Monday. The 2 live wells and the underside of the step/cooler for insulation.
But it looks Awesome!

Finished the tune up on the motor. New plugs, water pump, fuel filter.
Cleaned the cooling water primary screen which looked liked it had never been touched. You have to take the Port side lower housing off the motor to get to it.
A little Mercury black touch up paint and put her back together.

Today is about fit and finish.
Problem 1. The original white courtesy light broke. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200229/bd011f22f86212efa023b2650be32d9c.jpg)
I could have ordered a exact boring replacement for $9 and fixed it in 3 minutes.
But where is the fun in that?
So I ordered a pack of two red LED's.
Made a pattern from the old one and cut a new one from 1/8" star board.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200229/5cf4540a603b2b425243b61ba2984b30.jpg)
Wrapped it in black kryptek and installed it.

Problem 2.
I had one red LED light left over and decided to put it under the console facing down to light up the hot foot area.
I crawled under and made a pattern from cardboard.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200229/4be56d3faf0aa94f384484509feb32fa.jpg)
Cut one out of 1/4" star board.

And installed it. This is where my OCD gets to be an issue.
A job that should have taken 3 minutes has taken 2 hours.
But at least it's done with style...

On pedestals with forward and back slide adjusters like car seats.
I think that was a 20X2 model thing.

Yes she runs, like bat out of ...
With the tune up and nothing in it but me and a life jacket, it jumped out of the water and up to 70 before I even had her trimmed all the way up.

A couple of bugs showed up in the shakedown cruise.
No water pressure on the gauge even though it was peeing like a cow on a flat rock. New water pump and cleaning the primary screen made a huge difference.
The H5 in the dash had me off the coast of Miami in 57 FOW. I've got to get it out of demo mode.
Having the battery gauge in the charging panel is great. You can see just how those Opti injectors eat power at WOT. 13.1 v at idle, 13.7v at 4500 rpms and 12.1 at WOT.
She's sitting in the cradle right now. I'm going to fish her this weekend and then pull her out and tinker some more next week.

Tap the pressure gauge; it may be stuck. My battery gauge sticks sometimes.

A couple of bugs showed up in the shakedown cruise.
No water pressure on the gauge even though it was peeing like a cow on a flat rock. New water pump and cleaning the primary screen made a huge difference.
Since you have spent all that time and money to get her looking this nice, if it were me I would go that little bit extra and get a MercMonitor installed. A bit pricey, but you will get digital and accurate readouts of everything including water pressure ~c~
I put one in mine years ago and it has saved my :ass several times that has easily saved my money.

I looked into those a year ago an dropped the idea. I don't know why. Now I'm looking at them again.
Why didn't you suggest this 6 weeks ago?

Yesterday I was planning to take the maiden fishing trip, but my back was not cooperating. Spasms in my right shoulder and pins and needles in my right hand all day, all from the herniated disc. I found the muscle relaxers and took care of the major pain but I don't like being on the boat by myself when I take them.
The weather was crappy anyway so I started tinkering. I mounted the fire extinguisher in the starboard rod box and installed the foot switches for the power poles.
I had already culled and reorganized my hard baits so I loaded those boxes into the boat. Then I tackled my ridiculous plastic collection.
I found bags that I'm pretty sure are more than 10 years old. I last saw them 5 years ago when I unloaded the boat for a total clean and detail. I remember saying to myself "I might need those one day...". They are now in the donate box along with around 30 lbs of other unnecessary plastics.
Then I sat and stared at the trailer for about an hour working on a plan to get it up to par with the boat. I'll get some before pictures and we will start it this week.

Lee I have been there with the Plastic way to many times myself.
The I haven't used these in 2-5 years, but I remember that One Day when THIS was the bait that they wanted and I caught all my fish on--- so I'd better keep it.
I've got bags in Boxes and Ziplocks that like you said I probably will never use again, but can't seem to toss away.
Just did that though with my Jigs and Spinner/Chatter Baits. Had some that sat for so long the were all rusted or corroded up to the point they were worthless. Also replaced a bunch of Treble Hooks on Cranks for the same reason.
Isn't it funny how we just "need" this one or that that one when we see it but some almost never even get used. If at all.
Oh and a big YES to the Mercromitor. I have and while I will look at my gauges I live by what it says. I usually run mine on Motor Temp, but cycle through to check WP, RPMs, Hours, etc.
They have Senders now that you can hook directly to your Sonar Unit, if it is a compatible one. Gives you a complete Dash Look on the screen, might want to check into that. Just add the Sender to the motor and run the cable to your Sonar Unit.

I got a few extra gauges that link into the MercMonitor. I got a big Tach gauge, and 3 small gauges (trim, fuel and water pressure. The look great and all light up.
My MM read outs are also linked to my HDS units via a NMEA-2000 link.

Update-
I have finally gotten some of the wrap sections from FS&G. The week I picked up the boat, the owner was sideswiped head on and broke his left arm and both legs. His staff has been trying to hold down the fort but are struggling without him.
The led light kit I ordered to replace the running lights are here.
Dave came over yesterday and we mapped out a plan to get it done quick. The bunks are still solid so we're just going to recarpet them. For the step pads we are going to replace them with left over snow camo Seadek. They should standout nicely.
We're going to try and knock it out early next week as Dave is on standby to head back to Canada if his insurance carrier orders them back. With the 40+% exchange rates right now many Canadian carriers are threatening to cancel policies if they don't come home.

FD, I just read your entire refurb thread from start to finish. What an awesome transition. The combination of the wraps and the Sea Deck look amazing. Did you ever get the trailer fenders wrapped or is that project still on going? If you don't mind me asking what did the refurb cost you? I have a 2001 TR-22 I've been thinking about restoring one day. The cost of new bass boats are ridiculous and not even a route I am considering. Again great job and I really enjoyed the write up and pics...

Thanks Bassinlou, I remember reading that post but by the time FD ordered all the new dash and gauges he was in a little deeper the $5,300.00. Either way refurb over new boat prices is definitely the smarter move. Especially if you really love the hull like I do. This was a great read I'm glad I was able to read the entire refurb and not have to wait for the next update...

So the trailer is actually starting this week. Since I only trailer to tourneys, and they were canceled, there was no rush to get it done.
I pick up the trailer wrap material tomorrow and Dave and I are doing the actual wrap.
New winch, tongue jack, led lights.

Dave is on Homeland Security lockdown in his (my old) neighborhood. Because he is here on a Visa, he had to declare where is was going to be at all times and when he is going back to Canada. Since the cops are doing random stops of out of state plates he did not want to get caught coming over to my house. He is stuck and bored.
Solution? I took the trailer and parts to him yesterday. He may still be stuck but at least he has something to.

3+ months in and its still awesome!
Nothing that we did is failing the long term test. The wrap is holding up to this ridiculous FL heat and the Seadek is performing even better than expected.
It was 98 degrees yesterday with no cloud cover and no wind. Felt like it was 137 degrees but the Seadek was comfortable to sit on. The black reels and and carbon fiber grips were a different story. If i still had black carpet it would have been miserable. The lockers are relatively cool and the step cooler kept ice until after 10am without being pre chilled.
Even though there is nothing I would change, some additions are in the works. I'm digging this offshore type fishing so I've decided to upgrade in the electronics area.
This thread comes back to life soon so stay tuned!
Nothing that we did is failing the long term test. The wrap is holding up to this ridiculous FL heat and the Seadek is performing even better than expected.

The original guages in the dash is what I can't decide on. I've yet to find the dual 5" replacements. The Spedo has the fuel guage in it and the Tach has the trim.

I have a tach which is the same size as the Merc Monitor, plus the smaller sized trim, fuel and water pressure gauges. All these extra 4 gauges are linked into the Merc Monitor. It makes for a great system.
I got rid of my original speedo, now I have that info on my HDS unit via GPS which is far more accurate.

When I was trying to match up my 2004 Ranger Gauges while redoing my dash, these guys helped me to find ones that were very very close. So Close in fact unless you know the slight difference you wouldn't know.
Maybe they can help you.
Deland Boat Center. 386-734-0166 Irene will probably answer the phone.
FHIW, They are also a Preferred Mercury Dealer and Service Shop. Just a small place but excellent Service. I have had them do my 100 hr Service on my Opti twice now and am very happy with what they do and the price they do it at.
The first time I called all the Big Shops asking for pricing. Then I called them, solely because of their standing on the Mercury Site and their location to me. They did mine for about $100 less than others were quoting, and that included the extra work I had them do with putting on new Speedo Line and Water Pump Pressure Line and hook the Gauges up.

So the full on conversion to technoweenie guide boat is about to start. Some of the toys arrived today. I'm still missing a bunch so I'm going to hold off on the tear down until I get it all here. Its going to basically require a separate electrical system to support the draw of the big screens.
A full rundown of the plans will come this weekend when my brain is not fried. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200710/c3994643b2ab64d3f938045bae602209.jpg)

I'm going to ignore Walter's innuendo laden comment and give yall an update.
I got home early and with the rain still a few hours off I couldn't help myself.
The H12 MDI is basically a plug and play swap until I add the separate electrical circuit. I moved the Power Pole remotes aft a bit and mounted the factory bracket to the deck. I have a large ram mount but it put the unit too high for my liking.

Humminbird does not make a Mega 360 mount for the Ulterra.
Fortunately Cumberland Crappie does. This is the mock up mounting on the Ulterra. Taking it off and painting semi gloss black to blend with the rest of the bow. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200710/4944d36c1ef872a9b44d8e9b4ef7e2ce.jpg)

I got the battery compartment put back together. Ran the 10 gage wire from the existing battery master power switch to a secondary fuse panel. Finally pulled the new transducer cable all the way to the dash. Mounted the secondary fuse panel in the starboard rod locker next to the factory one.

Made some progress between 20 phone calls. I finished pulling all the wires.
Mounted the monster sized Mega SI transducer.
Mounted the H12 SI at the helm and completely connected.
Finished all the secondary circuits off the new 12v fuse block.
Mounted the network switch and ran all the cables for it.
I've got maybe 5 more hours and she is ready to splash at 100%.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200715/f9a66bfa41221c5344add7671b6dcb08.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200715/346c93c1395d399a4fce57b386099f08.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200715/446c7be4652c5c08b1a8ea0f55ee2ac5.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200715/83bb32418efb26ab29f752af2ef73f5f.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200715/3e18cd48de41cd8958282d7c16953322.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200715/e765477c82316b4c5ed7612cb9e81195.jpg)

Was looking at 10 for running to the fuse and switch panels, you wouldn't happen to have any left over would you ? Should I run something like 18 gauge from lights, bilges, Etc to the fuse panel?

Finished up the bow with the Mega360 this afternoon as well as the new panel in the rod locker. I also installed a 30 amp marine auto reset circuit breaker to the new panel.
All that's left is the bracing of the pizza ship Triton factory dash and installing the H10. The wires are waiting on it.

About an hour in the morning and she's going in the water!

Pics of the sandwich and support brackets in the dash that I made by heating and bending 1/2 star board.
Went through the entire install again checking connections and zip tied all of the spaghetti back in place.
Had to dodge some nasty T-storms but finally got her back in the water.

Dave will be here in a couple of months and we're going to do it then. It no rush and since he is a Merc Mechanic during the summer in Ontario, I let him handle all the mechanical stuff.
Looking at this photo........

........it looks like your graph will cover up the Merc Monitor to where you won't be able to see it.
I'm not sure about the Humminbirds, but I can get all of the Merc Monitor info displayed on my Lowrance units via NMEA.

Quote from: Bassinkorea on July 20, 2020, 07:56:06 PMI got the smaller Merc Monitor. It should go in the 2-1/2" blank I have between the water pressure and volt meter that's hidden by the orange towel.

You can see it thru the steering wheel in this pic. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200721/6b6afb920a35c87a037edb8a5eaa560c.jpg)

The world stands aside for a man with a plan. This has been a great project for all of us to follow. A lot of work that all began Last December. We have been entertained by all of your projects over the past year. The scope of work from the design and build of your truck, to the new shop at your home, a series of honey do items in the house and now the complete rehab of the Triton. Somehow I don't think you are finished with your projects just yet. I wonder what is next. Great Job Lee " You Da Man"

Many projects are on the list. Most of them are boring and lots of work. I've got half of my upper deck torn off at the moment trying to stop the leaks below.
In the video there is part of a lumber package laying on the driveway. That's fencing for the side yard and landscaping that will start soon. Again boring and lots of work.
An outdoor kitchen and boat themed custom bar are coming later this summer.
The one to look forward to is a hot rod "Monster Truck" Golf Cart build that is coming in the fall or whenever Dave gets back.

Wow what a wonderful job you did on this. Tech is way above my capabilities and I would spend the whole day trying to figure it out. It looks like you have all the bases covered, now it's just getting those you find to come out and play. Good luck with your new toys, and thanks for the video. I am very impressed! ~c~ ~c~ ~c~

I had a lot of coaching on how to get this done. Many hours on the phone with Dave, WayneP and Hodges Marine the get all the parts figured out and ordered.

Santa brought some new toys for the Triton. This will complete the "1 boat network" for the Triton. Josh and I are fishing tomorrow and will be pulling the boat Monday...
Stay Tuned for pics and details.

Twin 12' Talons replaced the old 8' Power Poles.
We got them paired to each other and to the blue tooth foot pedal, the Ulterra, and the remotes. The pairing took longer than the install. we had to call Minn Kota to finally get it done.
A bath later this week and then back on the lift.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210104/c376d454ac3a63d9abfbe5f97e43c39d.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210104/302bb9522a908ca68de757e1b16b18ae.jpg)

Nice! I miss my Talons! Not that PPs are bad, I just liked the straight up and down and no hydraulic fluid. See that you got tilt brackets. They make it easy to change a broken stake and test the Talons, if you have an issue.

Quote from: BarryFL on January 04, 2021, 05:08:09 PMI wanted 12' of holding power without having another 2 ft of poles to cast around. The tilt brackets are so I can get it in the garage and there may be a bridge or two I like to sneak under now and then.....

Finally got around to installing the Merc monitor. Plug and play, piece of cake. Mounted it above the radio in the new side panel I made last year.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210215/77373299c1d3c39b35d49ea0f2f9802a.jpg)
