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.



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...




If you don't have pieces leftover, you didn't put it back together right...

It's finally DONE!

YAY!

I just need to get home in the daylight so I can launch it. I still need to do the trailer but the boat is done.

Looks sweet with red LEDs, congrats on getting it done.
I have to ask though, were the driver's and passenger's seats always mounted on pedestals like that?

On pedestals with forward and back slide adjusters like car seats.

I think that was a 20X2 model thing.

Does it run? Just kidding :-)

If it fishes as good as it looks, you should start putting up some big bags.

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.
