She's Here!!!

[Jetaholic]

Picked her up yesterday. Check it out.
Got started on wiring the gauges this morning. I've gotta enlarge the tach and speedo holes to fit the new gauges.

If I had my guess, I'd say the pics don't do it justice. Suuuure likes nice! Nice feeling to finally have it home where you can get started, huh? Try & work on it some though, instead of just looking at it. :D
Good deal Jetaholic, keep them progress pics coming, shouldn't be long now...

[squirt'nmyload]

looks good...i bet your amped to get started on it................the first thing i'd invest in would be alot of chain and some locks and an alarm if thats where your gonna keep it:)

[Jetaholic]

Thanks guys. Yeah I plan on getting a coupler lock for it. It's actually gonna reside at my RV space at the lake. It's just here so I can put together.
I've gotten started a little bit on it. I need to enlarge the tach and speedo holes to fit my new gauges (original ones were 3", the new ones are 3 3/8").

Looks good. When do you think you will be finished?

nice jetaholic? is it paint or gelcoat? E

[Jetaholic]

Hopefully she'll be ready for test & tune by May. Right now finances are governing the deadline.
The white is all gelcoat, while the graphics and clear are Concept/PPG urethanes.

Well I've gotten very little done to my boat since I got her back. While the shop had her, I took on the project of rebuilding the engine in my girlfriend's Blazer. I'm just now finishing that up.
However, my buddy Billy and I (ironman44bear on the boards) are having a rigging party at his place tomorrow so I should be able to get quite a bit done hopefully while I'm there.

Hey there Jetaholic the boat looks great! I hope some day to have my Hallett looking that good.

What is the rub rail made out of and how hard was it to bend around the rear corners?

[Jetaholic]

I believe the rail itself is aluminum...I didn't install it, I had it done so I'm not sure how hard it was.
Well...got my gauges, GPS receiver (for GPS speedo), and my engine mount rails mounted. Pics to come.
