Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

Not convinced with good reason I think:

We ran into some cadets from the Annapolis navy school and were told that at the speeds a Prout would move at (vs a tanker at 20 knots) the bulbs won't...

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

Are all three of your tanks plumbed together with transfer pumps?
and
is that a hatch I see above the tank in the front deck locker??

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

Nice Bling!

We have two of the Whale manual pumps - they work well so long as they are well above the waterline. :whistling: (found out the hard way when we put more stuff on the boat...)

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

Atoll,

I'm drooling over your head.. just sooo much nicer than our Prout's run-down head :smitten:

Is your head really mounted on an angle, or has SaltyMonkey been drinking too much funny water...

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

atoll,

Looking nice!
Was it teak you've used for the rub rails? And did you through bolt? .. I ask because ours are rather leaky and we are considering removing the through-bolting to have less...

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

Thanks for this link - did you get a 3/8" or 5/16" end? ebay has it listed as "3/8UNF OR 5/16UNF THREADS ON END RODS" so it's not clear.. the replacement I want is 3/8"

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

atoll,

Thanks - unfortunately they don't do equvalents to telflex. It looks like I either re-design or buy the custom cable from Sillettte (~£200).

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

atoll,

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

I notice from the pictures you have the footpedal for the Sillette drive leg - did you install that or did it come with the hull?
I'm asking because I need to replace ours, but it seems like prout...
