Man Down! Operation DanO

[josh7_78]

Josh - good to hear from you, and thanks for the offer. Do you have the chrome bilge vents? We may need some other bits as this process progresses. You have any pictures of the screens? I think they are similar to the Vandal but I recall them having supporting rods in the inward sides due to it being a bow rider. Dan's other vamp has the big glass windows which could be transferred, but the lexan ones are just cooler

I'll have to dig out the windscreens..and I don't believe I'm seeing any bilge vents. Dual rack steering in it as well that's fair game. I'll update with screens when I can get to them.

Cool. We need bow and stern lights. His definitely had the big bow light. It didn't look like dual ride guide would fit in there. Is that what yours has? His has a stuck single cable rotary.

I'll see what I can get together for front and rear lights. Dual ride guide seems to be free and clear in there so it's an option if needed.

Piss pants, I could have used that bottom from that vulture......such a shame to see a 10 jack plate go to waste.........I hate to see such waste.........I know the FIRE BUNCH don't care.......BUT ....I do........That is why I sold my 1969 Daytona........Tooo many Good coals in the FIRE.......to get wasted........

I will get the jack plate sent out next week. Unless someone is around Bettsville OH Monday or Tuesday. Then I could bring it with me this sunday.... lol

This is really cool Mark and Chad. I know your wives support and help with the project as well. Let me know if there are specific hard parts missing that I might have. We sent a couple bucks towards paint or whatever you guys choose.

Thanks again,
Joe

Sorry to hear about such a loss. This is a partial list of what I have that may be of use. Any chance you may be able to come down and pick through this pile as shipping it may be a bit of a challenge? Battery boxes, shift/throttle cables, battery cables, rolls of wire, probably rack and pin or rotary, helms, steering wheel, bilge vents, seat pedestals, water separator, trailer winch, trailer lights, planing fins, exhaust housing needs one hole repaired with off shore exhaust or just exhaust bolt on, bilge inspection plate, and more. I am sure it would be worth the trip. You have been down here before so you know the drive.

That is a super awesome offer and I am sure we can figure something out one way or another. It would be a full day excursion for one of us, but I am sure we can get it done. Is there any chance you, or someone in your area, is heading to Jasper TN for the ODBA finals/River Run? I know several guys from our area are going and that would avoid almost any special trips.

[rock]

I know of nobody going to Jasper.

I will talk to the group and we will figure something out

[Sonik]

I’ll give you a call later today Randy.

EDIT: I haven’t dug through my parts stash in a very very long time. I’m happy to contribute whatever I have to Dan.

Some good progress was made yesterday. Lots of grinding and cleanup. We encountered 3 active bee hives and a treasure chest of dead stink bugs behind the steering helm. Not sure how they got there, but it was packed. Blu Bomber and Mrs. Flowmaxx got all of the old tape and gel off of the rub rail. Wicheckmate did a ton of sanding with the DA. Bruzercomp81 and I de-rigged all of the gauges. Lots to do yet, but we got a good start.

Here is more of an updated list. Surely there are more items that we are not thinking of yet, and perhaps some that would just be neat add ons also. When we are done, if we end up with extras or duplicates, they will go to DanO for his other projects.
