I would guess that just the one front seat weighed that when we took it out. Amazing 88lbs

Yea...life happened, been working alot, but really happy with the results, while its still upside down, going to fix some of my questionable workmanship when the rear deck was glassed. (was working on my back with only about 12" under that rear deck. i can climb in now, sit on the trailer, and happily grind away and make it pretty. that's today

I`ve heard many good things about Awlgrip products. Your boat is looking really great.

Going to have the same project on my 89 sleekcraft sst. I may need a few pointers as I have done a lot of metal fabrication but this is in uncharted waters for me. My project has all original paint which is still pretty nice and was wondering if this repair can be done without taking the rear deck off. Thanks,Blaine

First off Blaine, what have you done to determine the transom needs replacement? If it does, the area you will be working in is very tight, and you really need to build the new transom on the work bench, then put it in place. If you have the original transom structure, then there is a 2 x 4 on its side across the stern, the splash well makes it even tighter under the deck. start a thread and post some pics. you will get a flood of information and its all good. sounds like you're good with your hands, so go for it!!

Thanks Da Bull for getting me off the dime. its been to long since an update. this pic was taken mid july before it was run for the first time. still in break in, but i turns a 29" with ease, but no wot numbers yet. runs free into the mid 60's with no positive trim, it seems to like 0 deg, lifts and is just ready to pack some air. headed for parker this weekend and the plan is to try a few different props, have a 3 blade and a 5 blade cleaver. very happy with the results so far. made some huge changes in the running surface, so am proceeding with caution. more later.................gb

Proseeding with caution on a new design is the way to go. I have enjoyed this thread. I suppose thats because i watched these boats race in Mod-VP for years. Even drove one in a backyard race. BTW, It was powered by a very healthy modified Yamaha 2.6 on Methonal.

Hey fellow Socal bro, I'm from Carlsbad, a few miles toward the coast from you. Say, where did you get your boat building supplies, (resin, foam, balsa core, etc...)? This is a big place with a big boating culture, but I'm damned if I know anywhere in Socal to get stuff like that. Or did you mail order yours? I also have a place in Boulder City, near Vegas. Any place to buy boat building supplies there?
