[74hondo]

Engine from my other boat that is going into the challenger while the original get built

[berkbryan]

keep going its almost summer

[berkbryan]

what have u got done

[74hondo]

Getting paid tomorrow so i am going to order the carpet and stuff needed to put that in. I need to call rexmarine and see where my other damn guages are too! I am also thinking about capping it instead of putting a rubrail back on.

[berkbryan]

lot of work to cap and one good bump into the dock 

[74hondo]

Ya, that's why I'm just thinking about it lol.

[Colesifer]

my buddies capping his boat now...think twice!!  sure sounds like an aweful lot of pump to me..how much motor?? could be wasting your time..if your going gnarly with an engine than for sure..but for an average engine package it sounds like a sales pitch to me. a stock pump will do alot more than you think 

got alot of work ahead of you bud..good luck!

[74hondo]

I'm going to pass on the capping, easier with a rail anyways lol  . It's a lot of pump because it is going to be pushed by a lot of motor. 600hp is the bottom end of what will be going into it. If I end up getting this other job it could be  closer to 750hp+.

[Colesifer]

honestly a rail on a boat with a squared off side like yours and mine look better with a rail...its stupid expensive for a new rail but it is what it is. capping these things is alot of work unless you really know what your doing with fiberglass and have an abundance of time on your hands.

having a pump thats overkill isnt a bad thing at all..do it right the first time and you wont have to do it again for a long time..peice of mind on the lake is priceless fer sher

[berkbryan]

whats going on with the float

[74hondo]

Not much new, pay check was half of the usual as hours are being cut. Hopefully rex marine will have some good news for me about the rest of my guages

[Colesifer]

i wouldnt hold your breath..Rex is a joke! i have had ZERO luck getting anything from Rex. everything i have ever ordered they have not had or told me to wait 6 months..idk what kind of buisness they are running over there but they lost my buisness for sure. i tried more than my fair share..they just dont have the product they offer..they have great customer support but customer support doesnt get my boat on the water 

[74hondo]

Yeah not thrilled at all. Hey Derek I am going to be in long beach on thursday cleaning up my dads ocean boat. Will you be free so I can pick up the starter from you?

[74hondo]

Shot you a text. We will be there all day so whatever time works for you

[berkbryan]

updates where you at on the project

[74hondo]

Going to try to work on the rub rail tomorrow. Need to order the rubber insert for it.

[74hondo]

Thanks to ka0tyk and Ralph, picked up a starter and carb from them today. That much closer now.

[74hondo]

Finally got the motor pulled. It's on the stand and going to be disconnecting my other mother tomorrow to swap in.
