I finished cleaning up my nozzles, then put them back on the boat with my new impellers.
Ran the engines for a while.
Put seats and gear back in.
Tried to troubleshoot some speaker humming. (Also you can hear through the speakers when you turn the light switches on and off... ground issue?)
Getting ready to take her out tomorrow :)
 
Rewater tested my scupper by filling the hull with water ... check screen to bilge pump before hand... and then filled the boat untill the bilge came on to check proper operation. I am going to lube the steering cables a bit and do a little more spot cleaning and she is all done!
 
Pretty! Makes me want to wax boat. Them red boats is the fastest!
 
Washed, waxed and admired my baby!!!!
 
Installed my SeaDek Sunday and pulled her out of storage. Now she's home and almost ready for summer. Gonna try and get out Sunday and finish things up. 20160417_155723.jpg 20160417_163906.jpg 20160417_181943.jpg
 
Cute tent:)That would last all of 5 seconds here in West Texas:eek:
It was cheap but it actually has held up really good. Of course, I don't get the winds around here that you probably do. :)
 
I have been pretty busy. I got on the ADA Racing website and picked up a couple new fittings. I was hoping it would be plug and play but I had to buy a few fittings to step up the hose.20160416_185823.jpg 20160416_190208.jpg

I also pulled out the carpets and pressure washed them. They still had a large amount of soap from the previous owner.20160413_130601.jpg 20160413_130618.jpg

I then installed the new Reg #.

Can't wait till Sunday to get back out on the water. Going to Lake Murray for the first time and really looking forward seeing new areas.
 
I do have to admit, when I wax I generally do not go all the way under the boat. Probably I am abusing my baby. But I figure sun doesn't reach under there much, so it needs waxing much less frequently, right? Right? (looking for help on this rationalization here, please)

Looks shiny. Nice job.
 
Unfortunately, I believe that the proverbial snowball has better odds in hell than I do of getting her to wax my boat. In fact, far better odds... <sigh>

Yes!! Thank you. I replaced my plastic bilge pump outlet with stainless when I added a second one, been looking for a small stainless through hull everywhere for the pee holes.
 
My oldest son and I took her out today for an hour check up! She ran well. I removed the flame arrestors yesterday and replaced them with the Intake Manifold Upgrade Kit by RIVA. Wow, the flame arrestors really do block the flow of air. You cannot even see through them. I could tell the difference. I believe I got 3 mph more than before. I was going up river with a decent head wind and got 50 out of her. Usually I get 46 or so in those conditions.

Installed a shelf in my anchor locker and lined the heck out of it for my new Slide box anchor, see separate thread if you want all of the details.

I really like them, I can't leave anything stock.
