MikeyLarge........Boat is coming along very well. I keep thinking about selling my 86 and buying a newer one, but this thread makes me want to redo it!!!!

HighVelocity, what are the common findings under the floor of these things??

Mikey Large, also, what rubrail is on your boat??

**mikeylarge** · 04-30-2009, 10:06 PM

The rubrail is from taco, offhand I do not remember the part number, it is white pvc 20 ft lengths, with stainless insert. If you need the part number let me know, I will go through my invoices from when i bought the rail. It is the same rail that was used on Mragu's 21 and 16 super!!!!!!

Thanks ML!! Looks really good in the pics. The stainless rail in mine is showing is age!! You dont have to dig for the number, I will check into it when the time comes!!

When the time comes just shoot me a pm, I will try to dig it up for you

I pitched the oil tank to the pickup side because I have the smaller tank, which is why it appears crooked. Also the loop of oil line is so that i can slide the tank out to fill it up

And the mess...

I should have it in the water monday to start breaking this thing in

Did you check out the post where I showed the floor being cut up??? It's not bad actually except for under the seat pedestals, and in the two rear corners where the water can sit it the boat is leaning one way or the other.

I should have added drain holes in the corners when I re-did my floor. So I wound up just cutting those last 2 sections on either side out and leaving them out. No more rot ever.

Hey Mike,

Is the steering cylinder going to hit the jackplate when the motor is all the way up. Mine absolutley does if the plate is in the down postion.
