yea I found them yesterday on craigslist. Gave me a pretty good price on a full sheet thanks for the info.....

I made this for my truck yesterday but I feel its a tad bit to big....


So i changed it up today, think these will be better.

they used to have cut offs from larger projects they would sell kinda a hit or miss deal but if you needed a smaller pc for a project they might be able to help others as well I needed a pc of 1" blk and they had a 1'x1' pc they helped me out with quite a while ago

Alright guys I have a big question. When I bought the boat the seller told me he keep the gas tank empty and would run the engine from an external tank since it was parked. But once I got it home I see that the gauge has a switch and once switched on the gauge reads that there is something in the tank and it does smell like there is something in there. Here is the kicker, there is no hatch to get to the tank. I would literal have to remove the console to remove the entire tank hatch (Middle part of the floor) I really don't want to do that just yet. But I don't want to risk putting gas in the tank without knowing whats in there or the condition. Is there a way to remove whats inside the tank without needing to remove the console ? Or am I just better off going through the console removal process ?

If you have the $$$$$$, pull it, inspect it, go from there

I would prefer to try an empty the tank see what comes out. If it looks bad bad then yea I would remove the console and go through that process. But if not then heck I'm out on the water next week.

Question the throttle that came on my boat is original style left handed(i'm guessing thats original style) but I'm use to the right hand throttle. Can I flip this around or do I have to get a right hand specific throttle ?.....

Making small progress on this old gal....

My steering was stuck turned out to be that the actual motor was pretty much stuck from just sitting. Added some grease and torch got it to me pretty freely. but my steering box is busted. Removed that ugly ass old "T-Top" and the bow railings, now just gotta find some teak and starboard to add to some of the soft areas to get me through this summer. Also working with some Acrylic on my new dash piece where I plan on adding some new gauges and switches.

New style i'll be cutting today



Still need an answer on the throttle question....... The throttle that came on my boat is original style left handed(i'm guessing thats original style) but I'm use to the right hand throttle. Can I flip this around or do I have to get a right hand specific throttle ?.....

I am pretty sure it is reversible - it looks like the same one that is RH mounted on mine and I have a dim memory of getting a shift cable hooked up wrong and being surprised at the dock (fwd instead of reverse). I think it was that one so it makes me think they are reversible.

They are reversible. You will just need to change some linkage around on the inside.
