in time they will be gone and replaced with fl #'s but as we are right now they have to be on the boat if its in the yard while we work on it or the this goofy lttle town here will tow the boat as yard rubbish and slap a 300 dollar fine on us , we have 90 days to change them over from the date we move in to a house

Love this thread.

From start to near 100% finish all very well done Diggin

WTG

thanks been a long and hard to get it where it is , now just a lot of minor stuff to finish , but i have the feeling this boat will never see ga waters again unless hell freezes over ...

I gotta say Dave, I can't get over how well this came out on that budget. BOAT meaning Bust Out Another Thousand, This is a true testament to what you can do if you put yer mind to it. Ya kept it pratical and left the flash to the level of workmanship. You put the money where it needed to go and limited the toy's. Way to go Bro! Looks great!!
If ya make it down to FL by the time ya get to wiring, let me know, I kin cruse up for a day and give ya a hand. Probably already have all the shrink wrap, connectors, solder. tie wraps, and stuff you'll need.

thanks crash if we need ya ill def give ya a call , but the boat is pretty much done , just waiting on a panel we ordered off ebay a month ago , and i was ticked off that the stuff i ordered from the same place had come before the panel , im getting a full refund and get to keep the panel to boot !! so after the wiring is done all that will need to be done is change the water pump and thermostats and should be on the water ...

[diggin4grouper]

another step closer to getting her in the water , the night time lights are installed and
all wiring is ran just need to put it on the switch panel and thats another thing done .

Those lights look nice. Man, you are going to know that boat inside and out so well, any repairs or maintenance will be a breeze.

thanks guys for the kind words ! crashmister, strizile , gruntking , PhishingPhanatic

[diggin4grouper]

well boys and girls for the most part the boat is done !

we are just taking care of a few minor things and that will be it
thing we have done to complete the boat

the wiring in completely done , from the motor to the gauges

all hardware is on the boat , cleats , ect

fuel system under the console is rigged up and is plumed from front to the motor
with a fuel water filter in the mix , will still have an external 12 gal tank for a back up

non-skid is on the deck

the stuff we use for the non skid was rhino hide it just mixes in the paint ans we
used an easypoxy to do that with and put the last coat of paint on the boat

so here is a few pics for ya as this very well be my last post for this thread !!

[diggin4grouper]
