Hopefully someone on here or knows someone who has a Blazer SS mod-v boat with a jet setup. I'm looking to order here in the next few months, and I'm pretty sure that I want the mod-v as I'll be spending as much time on the lakes as I will on the river. I'm just looking for someone who may...

I was able to get the bottom welded up today, and also got the seats, pedestals and new cover bought and installed. I should have picture up tomorrow.

Ok, so now its been awhile and its time for an update :D. Below are some pictures through the process of building the front deck and the rear bench. Rear bench.. I've also been hard at work with the aluminum floor, this is the basic framework that now has supports for the center...

So, its been quite a while, and quite a ride since my last post. I was all ready to go and get really rolling on this project, then I found out that I have a kid on the way, so pretty much the budget got slashed from very little to pocket change.. But, after a second job (not only for the...

So, if anyone happens to see this, what do you all think about an aluminum floor covered in carpeting? I'm trying to save some on weight, and after pricing marine grade ply with the same size sheet of alloy 5052 1/8" aluminum plate/sheet I was curious if anyone has done anything like this...

Thanks! That's where I thought it went, but its nice to have a little visual assurance

One more thing as well: If anyone out there happens to have one of these motors or something close to it, I'd like to see a picture of the starter solenoid. When I got the motor, it didn't have one, and it was set up for remote controls. I found a tiller arm and all the other required...

I'll check them out, thanks!

Greetings, I have a 1976 Evinrude 25HP that I've slowly been rebuilding. Well, its actually rebuilt minus a new prop, but my question is regarding the paint. I was wanting to keep it the factory grey/blue OMC color, but I can't seem to find anything that even comes close to matching it. I...

So, work and the family have kept me pretty busy lately, but I've been able to get out and do some work on the old silver duck. After removing the floors, TM, tank, battery, etc. I set my "new" motor on the transom for mock-up reasons, before I decided to shell my original rear deck idea. I...

Once home, I ran 3/4" electrical conduit under the floors to the bow, where my control panel would be. I pulled two 10ga supply wires to the front and two stainless terminal strips so I could keep it simple. I also ran (though not inside the conduit for space reasons) two 8ga wires for the...

I pulled everything that wasn't bolted down (and somethings that were, but were too stubborn to come out, so Mr. Sawzall gave them a lesson in cooperation :D) and began to survey the situation. Now, normally I would plan this out to the smallest nut and bolt, but it was already the first week...

Greetings- I've been wandering around this site for quite a while now and must say that there is an absolute ton of valuable information throughout these threads and I want to thank everyone for their posts and explainations with their projects. Nice Work! Now, its time for my project...er...
