    It looked great and was used frequently by his dad. The boat has twin OX-66 on it. That was about 6 years ago.
    It's been sitting up here since, not moved, not washed, not cranked. Trailer still looks brand new. No T-top but I know somebody
    I think it would be new tires, clean or replace the fuel tank, change fluid and filters on motors, replace all hoses, new plugs, clean or replace VST system and
    I bet it would fire right off. It's not a full transom or I would have already bought it. I spoke to him and he said, "make me an offer".
    Sounds like you need to get to offering!!

    Explain to me what you had done to the bracket?? Added extra floatation or adjusted mounting height?

    Guy welded 3/8” plate across bracket to cover up all the previous holes, from two different sets of twins over the years.

    First profile pic I’ve seen of console in boat. You have an idea in your head of how you want it look.... ready to never see yellow again, but so far I’m happy.

    Removing the boxes and new console have been my favorite changes. Opening up usable space was the goal.

    Snow or cloud white on the interior and Whisper Gray on the exterior. Just picked up white rub rail with stainless insert. Should go with the anodized rails nicely

    The tub was the old livewell. Livewell is now in leaning post. Going to be a big catch all whatever storage in the rear, will have molded hatch

    I'm surprised you are putting the rails back on...

    Good looking profile.

    Why poly here over epoxy?

    I feel for whoever did all that sanding upside down.

    Saw a different picture of the guy and he looked like a smurf!! Glad it wasn’t me

    I couldn’t answer your question in regards to why materials used... left that up to the guys way more experienced than I
