Corleone,
Your boat looks great! Who did your cav. plates.

[spectras only]

Very nice , did you reupholster too ? Is your boat a 21 foot daycruiser, from your picture it looks very similar to the spectra 20.

[e-ticket]

That is one very sanitary looking ride. Great job. Did you do the paint yourself?

[superdave013]

Very nice, very clean install. I like the fact that you have all your hoses tied down and not rubbing anything.

[flat broke]

Sano! Clean looking work all the way around. I'm with Dave on tying off the ss line. The only thing I saw which has me puzzled is the angle of your flexible hose for the exhaust. Keep an eye on it because the rubber tends to collect heat in areas where there are tight angles. It would suck to see all that work get hosed down with exhaust water, or worse.
Good luck,
Chris

Gel coat is original, except for Striped area..(Pink is going soon cant stand it).I had the interior and carpet re-done all new wood and different seat set-up, Cav-plates were on the boat as you see them, removed them for 4" mounted Exhaust tips(these were the only 4" that would fit with the Cav Bar riding across" It is closer to a 22'er and yes it is probably closer to a Spectra mold than a Shiada even though the back is more rounded than a spectra...Not too much info a Continental's Spectrabrent sent me some history that he knew of the Continental's....Next will be proper gear an Prop set-up I have no idea what is in the Casale now or RMP or speed yet...Thanks for the replies.. much hard work over the last year...

That looks like a Super Nice Boat!!!! I really like the swim platform brackets for the cavitation plates...

[hottrodder]

Nice Looking. Plenty there to be happy about. It looks to me like the bar is mounted using conventional transom bearings and passes thru the swim step brackets. The angle or perspective or something must be weird cause the inner turnbuckles look awfully straight. I had thought about doing something similar to the trim tabs on my Vector using a trim motor inside and one of those new neat liitle hydraulic actuators that Warlock is selling. Maybe this winter.

Corleone, really nice. Was going to send you some pictures of my continental but it is no where close. Got the boat 3 years ago and just wanted it to last one summer,then going to update but have been working on my flat and nomad . If you send me a email address I will send you pictures. The one thing I see diferent is mine has a C500 v drive. Plans for big chevy with twin turbos and turbo 400. I was told that around 80 mph is all the hull will handle, let me know how yours runs and handles. j.j.
