Sooooo....what's the latest? The soap opera has gone cold. :/

Upholstery is being worked on, the boat is just waiting in the driveway getting more wax and little details.

Nice to hear it's still a work in process. This was the most entertaining fab thread I think the board has had. I think you need to get another project boat just to keep me entertained.

My buddy did the buckets last week and the rear bench over the weekend, it was just installed today

Boooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was never in the plan to sell her, alot of love and attention to detail went into rebuilding the hull, (at least in my opinion).
It's not up to me to say who bought it or on what lake it'll show up at.

all i'll say is i was asked, they picked the interior scheme, both parties are happy and it went to a good home at no where, i repeat, no where near covid prices, that would be gouging and i like to sleep good at night.

I just went through this resto--WOW! What a labor of love. Incredible outcome.

OK....sooooooo....time to start a new boat eh? I'm jonesing for round 2! That last rebuild was so fun to watch.

Maybe, how about same hull with;

36 inch observer seat cooler/storage underneath, no wood any where composite stringers, floor pan, molded on swim platform (full boat width but boxed underneath just wide enough for the exhaust to come all the way back) fuel tank just in front of pylon, walk thru transom with front or rear facing seats cooler/storage underneath.

i got some other ideas but keep em under hat, let's find an intact hull first 16-18 feet, v8 of course and no red.
orange yellow white green blue all good, skier stang nautique

problem is theres a 68 or 69 silverline deville 16 outboard an hour north that is in dire need of a direct drive conversion, just waiting for him to take the covid 1700 off the price, its worth 500, he knows it lets see how long he can stand mowing around it.

Had to look up a silverline deville....cool old runabout. You think you can shoehorn a V-8 direct drive into that hull? That would be a trick!

Have 1990 Ski Nautique with flagship(coffee cup colors with Helena pulling Mike Kjellaner) blue and gray color combo…..anyone

Thank you.

Plenty of room. I have a detailed drawing and notes for how much space is needed and from what point it's all located from the transom.
it's tough because there is so much room in a 2001 hull but the 16 skier 16 mustang 17 tigue hull has the lines.

Room for one only so other boat has to go first then let's see what pops.

ski usa 2 sorry i'm no help with those codes, try posting in another section, send a pm to nautiquejeff and/or post same question over on correctcraffan.com
Both sites are great and both are filled with awesome knowledge base. Positive someone can point you in the right correct direction.
(see what i did there)
