Transom well shot. I wanted to drill as many new holes befor I get the old ones closed up. I was still nervous drilling holes to not screw up. Going all SS and chrome on rigging. No powdercoating. Transom is dry as a bone. (alot better than the last one.

Drilled for 5 recessed cleat and didn't f up the gelcoat

Looking real good! I see the measurment lines so it all lines up

I also see you are really taking pride in this boat!! The two holes closest to the transom (tie bars?) you're putting rubber boots right? Make sure you hot cote all the holes especially around the balsa core. Forget that color gps install the regular gps like the tach, less is better and cleaner. My 2 cents

Wetsanded bow to see what it will look like. Got tired of waiting for Ghost28. I am not going to get it painted. (keepin it "old skool" seems to be the way to go)

Despite Bash, Wayne, Ghost, Bender, and everyone else. I went with a very clean and well cared for 225 Promax (freshwater)
I ordered matching stickers for the boat from Wildman.

Mike, I think the layout right now is good. I would keep it that way with nice gauges and bezels it will look awesome. Old school is the way for sure. Like the color combo the same as my 30 Super. I'll dig up some pics and post them. That is what makes those boats look good old school colors and lines. The color came right up. Just keep good wax on it. The motor looks awesome. Wildman does a nice job on the decals. It will be a very nice package
Let me repeat myself, forget that color GPS. You will not get lost in the GSB

Pics one of my 21's and the 30. The 30 had exactly the same color scheme with the blues.

Yes, I soaked the "old boots" in armorall, they are all soft now. Do you know where to get new ones?
I was going to use resin on the edge of all the holes, I thought that was the correct thing to do. What and where do I get hot cote? I like the color gps, I need to find my way back from Fire Island in the dark

Its a nice low profile small set up. Its not much bigger than a gps monster speedo.
