Here are some pics of my boat that is currently being rigged by Wes aka "Froggy" of Trident Custom Boats. Thank you Wes, it's looking awesome!

Why are they so small? Can it be fixed....sorry

[MASTERKENDOG]

I don't know either. If you figure it out, please let me know! I can load upto the image area, but cannot post the pictures big or at all.
Any info appreciated!
Thanks in advance
master.

Here is a shot after my boat was recovered with no gauges

Novaguy...
I was at Froggy's place last week and saw your boat in progress. Wow, what a transformation it's taken. That switch panel and bezel package looks killer.
Not to mention the wire bundel that was designed and layed out. My boat is next in line after yours. I can't wait :D ...

Thanks Hotcrusader. I don't think you will be dissapointed. Trident Custom Boats: Where experience eliminates experiments (You like that Wes?)

[MASTERKENDOG]

Have any pictures of the whole boat? I'd like to see what it looks like now and after! :)

[novaguy]

The boat is not done yet, but rest assured I will post pictures when it's complete. Still needs the custom interior done and motor installed. These pics are just teasers from Wes....

Great work. Glad to see your boat going back together again. smile_sp

[Hermosa]

Those gauges and switch panel are a nice updated look, I'm sure you will be really happy with the quality work being completed there by Wes. It sucks to have your boat stripped, but at least you can now do the setup they way you want it, that is one good way to look at it. Keep us posted with photos.

I just realized that there is a "before" picture mixed in with the "afters" on that segment... The wiring going back to the transom looks about the same as under the dash.
The whole thing is turning out very nicely. You will dig it.

Froggy, nice clean work. Trident Boats should come with some great rigging! Gonna cost ya on zip ties :D

[78Eliminator]

Froggy, you ****ed up big time. The seperation between the 7th and 8th zip ties on the wire harness is 15mm!!!! Everyone knows it should be 16!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
In all seriousness, it looks awesome!

[Hallett19]

did you use the new "stealth ties" ?

[Sleek-Jet]

Froggy,
Do you make your own switchpanels?? If so, do you sell them also???

[Desert Rat]

Froggy
If you want to save on zip ties and still look great you can get the black waxed lacing cord from most any aircraft parts supply and it looks sweet when tied up. It is about all we use on the Fighters any more. I have to say if you get out of the boat business I could use you here at NASA wiring up out jets! Sweet job

[Froggystyle]

Thanks!
No, I don't make my own panels. Those are semi-custom from Dana. You order what you need and he charges you what he needs. These were custom in the sense of the lettering and that I mounted fuses up in front, instead of hidden. I can't stand pulling stuff apart to figure out what is blown. In any case, each accessory has it's own fuse now, which makes me happy. Those had to be drilled out to 1/2" instead of the stock 3/8" holes.
Many zip ties died today too. I kind of feel bad for them...

[Hotcrusader76]

My boat was just finished yesterday and I am stoked! It came out looking high class as expected.
You should see the pile of zip-tie tails left behind from my sled...geeze...
I'll post some pics on another post.
Novaguy...I can't wait to see the finished interior when all is said and done. Your boat has really taken a different look lately. :D

[novaguy]

Hotcrusader76,
I agree....I'm going to pick up the boat and wonder if it is the same boat I dropped off. I hope everything goes smooth with the interior people (I'm a little nervous). My motor should be done in a few weeks too, so I am hoping that it will all come together around the same time. I will try and post some pics of my motor as soon as I get them. Dave said he has been taking digital pics of the build-up and then puts it on a disk.
