These guys have done a fantastic job, fingers crossed flip it over and deck next week. Need to start finding all the bits to put it back together

Wrong overall pocket

i still cant lift my left arm behind+above my head from that event for some reason - highly reccomended.

awesome work, that merc motor looks fantastic such a shame to replace it

@sheepers did you end up using an electric pump and figuring out how to control it? my boat uses a power steering pump for hydraulics for lowering/raising the jet unit reversing cup thing, i am considering replacing it with an electric mr2 unit due to availability issues of the current (broken) one thats driven off the timing gears.

@fletchare you cooking us all dinner

As time allows Neemia continues fixing my decades of neglect there were some serious cracks under the gel coat (under the layers of paint) so he took it all off to repair them, it’s getting pretty serious

Can’t take any credit for this - neemia has been chipping away at it doing an amazing job

All going to plan, there will be a floor by the end of today

electronic pedal in a jetboat? barra tb has it as standard, and the old mechanical arrangement is absolutely rubbish,

Uncle Neemia has been working away at this, one more bulkhead to go in, then it will be “flowcoated” with gel coat to make it smooth, and then the floor can go down, the flooring plywood will be encapsulated both sides with fiberglass, as much as I dislike wood, I couldn’t justify solid composite (coosaboard) material and I didn’t want soft foam core flooring.

All the racing lawnmower forums are dead these days, I’m trying to determine if the crank, cam and lifters on briggs flathead 28 is interchangeable with the 28 ohv motor, all the info online is for flathead- maybe because of their class rules? there is one comment I can find that suggests that it is, if this would be convenient as there is a billet flywheel, crank, cam, rod & piston available for the flathead motor and I have some ohv motors onhand. (The non avs early kind) Trying to end up with a light weight air cooled 500cc vertical shaft motor that will do 5500-6000rpm for my amphibious boat thing, currently using a 200cc and it’s a little underpowered and it makes me nervous turning the pot metal flywheel so fast. I guess the other way is to find out if the 28 flathead is common in nz, Shiloh?? I forgot your username to tag you!!

New beam’s laminated and machined from @Ned’s 3d scans, amazing outcome for such a big surface and “low cost” scanner Realising I don’t have enough talent for structural fiberglass work, talented uncle Neemia from work took over and is doing an excellent job, a layer of glass is over the inside of the hull and the beams bonded in place to be laminated over the top of.
