I really like your trunk liner, good idea. Carpet in those areas looks fine and all, but if it gets wet ya gotta leave it dry out and hope for no mildew.Quote:

I roll and brush the Awlgrip. You need to use the "brush" catalyst though. One coat usually covers but I used red once and it took 3 coats. I have sprayed it on motors and gearcases and it comes out well if you know how to spray. I sprayed it once in a rear area and what a mess! It is too close cornered to spray without running, doesn't cover as well, and the overspray sticks to everything! You better make sure you have the boat covered airtight! I've been using the trunk liner material for years on the ceilings under the dash and I first used it on the sides of the 30 Liberator. It gives a very clean look without adding a lot of weight.
Manual Jack Plate? Is it to save weight? Did you color match it or powder coat?
I never use a hydraulic plate on a cat. There is no need for it unless you want to water ski or tube. It is powdercoated red.
:thumbsup:
Nice work Randy!
Looks really good. It looks like the jackplate has Allen head cap bolts instead of hex head bolts? is that how they come from Hydro Dynamics now or did you change for looks.
I changed them.

Randy which truck bed liner material are you liking? Ive used the rattle can stuff exposed to salt water with great results. Did the transom plate on my Fountain, a jackplate, and brand new axles on my trailer. The kits look like better quality though.
The trunk liner is a soft fabric not a spray on. Kind of like the fabric you see on speaker enclosures but thicker
Geez I read trunk and truck..... :leaving:
I have the dash and motor all wired now. I hung the motor yesterday and decided that the custom Jackplate had too much "tuck" under. I wasn't sure that it would trim high enough with a standard motor. I already had the motor all rigged up before I decided to change out the jackplate. I also made a fiberglass subwoofer box. I glassed it to the backside of the front bulkhead. It sounds so much better when the sub is in an enclosure. I also got all the power steering hooked up. Here's a pic of the pump.
