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.

The motor cowling is done. The pole wraps were on the printer when I left.

Picking her up tomorrow afternoon and Dave and I will start the reassembly on Saturday.

Did you read the full instructions on the logo install? It's a 2 day job.

I'm thinking of replacing the Nitro aftermarket on my boat I'm not sure I can handle with my boat in permanent wet dock.

Gene, I am afraid you are gonna have to put the boat on the trailer to pull off a job like that. 

geneinnc

Agreed. They used to have a work station to set your boat on for work. Maybe that or put me on lower level dry dock instead of my usual.

I'm not sure its worth it.

Looks like lots of work, but the satisfaction when finished will be great.  Good luck!

Went to pick it up but it wasn't done. Plus I took Dave with me for another set of eyes and we found a few things that need to be fixed before I bring it home. Overall it looks great though.

Looks like it's coming together nicely!  Do you have any plans regarding the trailer?  As it stands now, the fenders really stand out.

No updates?

Dave should bring it home today.  He's been beating on them every day.  I started a new Amazon 1 million square foot warehouse project on Monday so I've been swamped.
