Hi All,
I am a new correct craft 2002 SANTE owner but for whats its worth I see a lot of you doing maintenance and rebuilds and mods so I figured I would post my first project I ever did on my first boat when I was 20 along with my brother.
The Boat was a 1983 IMP and the only reason we bought it was because it had a 350 V8 carburated 4 barrel as the stock engine. You will see a before and after shots along with some project images to follow right after.
Here is what we did to the boat:
Complete overhaul specs
- Stripped the entire boat
- added in a new carpet
- Redid the Vinyl on the seats
- added a Monster Tower
- Rebuilt the entire floor with marine plywood then fiberglass
- Reinforced the wake tower supports where they bolt in the boat
- Took the engine out and outdrive off
- rebuilt the outdrive
- Rebuilt the engine
- Custom paint job on the entire boat including the hull
- cut out floor and added coolers within
- Added old tractor tire tubes cut in half like a banana and filled them with sand to put under the seats in the hull
- poored cement in the back of the boat on each side of the motor under the floor
*everything was done A-Z with me and bro using internet
*
This is the boat that hooked me on wakboarding and itrigued me to buy my super air
Enjoy the pics
