Recovering From TC Oswald.

[Factor]

If you are quick and get 44C really drunk, maybe you could convince him to hang around and build you one!

[dennisail]

Maybe for a few beers he can knock me up a 47 over the weekend

[44'cruisingcat]

I don't mind a beer, but geez.....

[solarbri]

Do the outboards lift up on there own, built in pivots?
Or do you have some sort of track or sled allowing the motors to lift higher?
Mor details/pics please!

[44'cruisingcat]

The outboards use their standard power tilt system. The motors have been removed from the boat again, so the whole thing can be prepared for painting. I won't be able to take any more pics of installed engines until after the boat is sprayed, which will likely be a couple of months at least.

They're 20" shafts, with genuine Tohatsu extensions to bring them to 25".

Back at Work....

Interior in primer







Exterior in highbuild...

[dennisail]

Looking good. Time to hit the sandpaper.

[44'cruisingcat]

You should drop by for some practise!

Longboarded the port sheer panel yesterday. It's about 95% fair now. Just a couple of spots to highbuild some more.

[dennisail]

I probably should, especially since I might need to do the same thing soon!

[44'cruisingcat]

Almost finished with the painting:










Should be done this week. Repairs are invisible.

[MarkJ]

Goodness, thats one hell of a job!



Well done.

[Jimbo485]

Beautiful!!

What paint did you use?

[dennisail]

Shiny. I like shiny. How many years will it be before you forget how much work this is again so you can help with mine

A long time I think!
