1977 viper recore

[77viper]

Ya-ya that's enough out of you 2.

The heat is on today and after some cleaning I hope to have my evinrude done so I can sell it in the spring. All that's left is to clean the carbs install the motor harness and drop it on the mid. I think tomorrow I will drill the holes in the transom and mount the motor so I can pull the powerhead.

I need a cover that I can take off, as of now the boat is shrink wrapped. I have my hyd steering my seat is on the way and I have my gauges so that should go quick.

It's a carbureted 2001 150.

Thought maybe you had a 200 or bigger. I know my Vulture will want way more than the 175 I have for it now but money is tight so gotta make due for now. Maybe next winter I will find a 300 rude that I can do a partial trade on the 175.

Well my mom is on vacation and she asked me to check in on her house so I figured what better way to watch it than fron inside her garage .
I installed the steering helm and started on the hoses and ram. I gave my old steering wheel away so I couldn't mount my seat. I just want to get the holes drilled so once I get it painted it's done.



I picked u this allison seat and I don't want to paint it so I guess I'll paint the boat red.

Looks great Chet. I'm Jealous. Wish I was that far along. Have a big push planned for this weekend.

There alot of padding in them allison style seats? I was thinking about some of them myself if I dont get the ones I have now redone. I dont want something that after 20 minutes my butt or back hurts.

Another red on A? Looks good Chet, you'll be done by spring. Got a motor goin????

Thanks Bill, I was in your position about a year ago, I busted but and got the core out, hull cleaned and new core started. I needed room in my garage so I moved it out and it sat till this winter. So I guess I'm saying stick with it but don't burn yourself out.

Hippie The seats are real comfortable, I didn't get the foam with this one but I saved a bunch of foam from a larson so I just made my own.

Rick I'm thinking just a solid red deck to match the vegas but I change my mind a lot on paint I won't know for sure till it's in the booth. As for now I have my 2.4 on it just to get it out of my shop I still haven't got my 2.5 apart yet but I should have it done by spring.

Cool, 2.5 will work well in that.
