Finally ready to post pics of project

[htillman]

Old Wavelength with new T-top and non-skid decks. Also plug all holes on transom that was redone by Hermco


Port shot, switched engines, installed my Johnson 250 for a 225 Johnson that was 10 years older


Bow shot


Stern shot, switched consoles from a 20 MA for the smaller 23 CC. The 20MA console was slightly larger and had a larger dash area.


Another shot, new aluminum trailer will be here next week. The current trailer is a old Sportsman in good shape. I will be trailering extended miles so I got a nice deal on a new trailer.


Another bow shot


Console with dash and installation of electronics. A stereo, Garmin unit, Johnson gage, fuel flow meter and fuel tank gage. Leaning post is from manufacturer of original posts.


Another shot
Ran boat for the first time with 4 adults, 100 gal fuel. Obtained 44 mph and boat ran great. I had a 23 Sceptre and found with same motor this CC ran bow higher and lighter but just a little quicker. I plan on running a few offshore snapper trips and can then tell the real difference between the two boats.

Eddie,

Looks real sharp. It is amazing what a few little changes do to the boat.

When folks ask what year it is, and you tell them, they will be blown away.

Nice top.

Looking Good!
Any oil circling back your way? Hate to see a ring around the VDR...

The old Wavelength boat looks great! Matt can be proud that it's in the hands of a devotee'.

Thanks for the comments. No oil yet in our area but it is a mess and is going to be a bigger "mess" in the future. I am in the oil and gas industry and hate to see all the finger pointing. This is going to hurt everyone in the business, from pipe suppliers to operaters, to commercial and recreational fishermen in the gulf.
