Truly a work of art. Thanks for the inspiration. About to start on a 83 20' SC soon. Hopefully it turns out half this nice.

Very nice work! Looks professionally done.

Did you run throttle/transmission cables through that rigging tube or is it electronic. I like what you have done, but worried about the sharp angles?

Thanks guys!

Re: control cables
I used the teleflex xtreme's (under a BRP label)
The bends arent as bad as they look and they work just fine, nice n smooth all the way.

I did run into an issue with the steering hoses interfering with the engine rigging a lil too much for my liking, so i used some bulkhead fittings and 90's.

Kinda wishing i put another 12-15 gals of fuel in her already... holds 47

Keep your fist out of it....

The newness will wear off eventually...
Your fuel burn will improve !

Then again maybe not... After 30 years I still cannot help myself for the
love of speed !
