[berg969]

Seeing as how my boat got stolen last year. thankfully i got it back but less motors i now got some coming and needed to redo the wiring so i decide to fix the nicks and my glass guy says just paint it so here are pics i'll update as i go.
Power will be some 225 3.0's to 300x specs.

looks like fun i am going to stat doing this to my new boat tonight and this weekend. Some things were ran with speaker wire some wires are just cut no idea what they went to. It is a mess.

[JUPITER PULSARE]

One of my best friends in Jupiter FL does high performance rigging, gages and wiring. He's worked at some of the best Offshore Boat Co's on the east coast inc. Active Thunder, Apache, Sonic and currently rigs for Island Runner. If you need first class wiring, let me know and I'll leave you his number. :thumbsup:

[berg969]

I have Ed Thorton from Edit doing the wiring and Rossi doing the paint.
But i appreciate the info

[514MERC]

Russlls Upholstery in Bremerton took a little while but turned out really cool the front seats are really neat and was reasonable...

I tried to get a local shop to bend a windshield for me but he wanted 1300.00 for it I said pesos???? So I found a guy that was in a old warehouse in seattle that had been bending acrylic and other plastics for tolley crafts searays bayliners etc I just deleted the photos of his warehouse just the other day this guy had complete windshields in aluminum frames brand new for old sidewinders this place was just crazy anyhow he says if you keep it cash and don't tell the owner i'l do it for 300!! I said done... I couldn't even by the sheet of polycarbonante for that price so I used my original aluminum windshield as a template and changed the arch so its about 2" higher than the factory one and zeroed it out in the corners then drank some jim beam,he cut it heated the edges to make them smooth then I drilled drinking some jim beam,installed a 1.5" strip of white vinyl on the bottom had a few millers,measured the distances between the left and right gunnel to get the right arch with the help of johnny walker tied shoelaces and some marker string between the holes to get the right arch and passed out got up stole the wifes hairdryer burned that up and bought a industrial heat gun ate some asprin and started heating it up so it would have some memory then me and my bro drank some beers and bolted it up. Oh and the z car is a 260!!!thats another goofy deal..

i cant get over that picture either
hahahaIf you are a painter, you can appreciate how funny that picture is, I agree. No paintbooth or shop fannage, no respirator, but has on a headsock, long sleeves, Nitral rubber gloves, a windbreaker jacket, shorts that are too long, or pants that are too short, all while barefoot, leaving body oils on the paint surface. Pat must be guiding your work. I see you borrowed the YardArms from him.

[berg969]

those are my yard arms and once again it was only a spot of filler primer.
all pats doing is supplying the booth for the clear

Actully Shawn has only passed me once when I fouled a compressor and no I didn't get wet. Fact is you've seen me in front of Shawn many times but you seem to only remember the one time when I wasn't.
By the way when you going to come up to Pompano and shine my shoes and do my laundry. :D

[PropDyn]

I may be one of the original owners of this boat. It was hull #6 built by Peter for a guy named Bill Block who was in the furniture manufacturing business. His wife went for a ride and it scared the hell out of her. She made him sell it! I bought the boat with 4 hours on it. Raced it in several Florida offshore circuits. Sold it to a guy in New Jersey that had lost one eye when he was run over by a Couger Cub in a charity event in Key West. He also had 30' Shadow Cat. Can't recall his name now. I had this boat for about 2 years, circa 1985 to 1987. I sold it to buy a helicopter.

I named it the Assassin because the boat tried to kill me. :D

[Mr. Action]

Yep deff the same boat
