Looking good. Hallett knocked that out in short order.
Project took a slight detour :thumbsdown
When putting the boat back on the trailer at the gelcoat shop I could hear something sloshing around in the Hull. I was hoping it was the gas tank in the floor or water from them washing the boat after the Gelcoat work.
Figured if it was water from the washdown it would just drain out. Well I took the boat to B&D to have them do a tune up and check out the condition of the motor and drive, Carb was so full of deposits from water it had to be junked. So i took the boat over to Hallett to get an idea of how the floors were built and if there was any drainage down the center section of the Hull. Found out the older Hulls are sealed between the stringers so if water gets in its not coming out, Cut a hole in the floor a took some pictures...

unless it eats a hole thru the tank

Fortunately Hallett was able to jump on it right away, The floors were removed and replaced and installed a new tank and bulk head with drainage thru all the sections of floor.should be good for another 30 years.:tbi
Was the tank surrounded with the expandable foam? We are doing the floor in ours and found water in front also but not a lot in foam.
Man those gauges really update the look, its fantastic. Interior looks great too. Apologies if I missed it, but who did you end up using? Great looking 210. :thumbup:
Yes the tank was surrounded by foam. The one portion on the bottom that did not have foam is in the best shape.
Any updates on this?
Hey ultra lucky, nice build man.
I was was wondering about those wind screens.
How you refinished them?
How they turned out?
Is it worth doing?
I need to do some work on mine before the season, and I have just posted a forum about it.
Thanks, Raul's in Ontario did the interior. They have been around for 30+ years and do everything, car boats hod rods what ever you want. Really easy to work with.
Did you have to do any modification to the dash to change the gauges?
Awesome project!!
Is this the same shop that did all the interiors for Boyd Coddington?

Ah gotcha for some reason I got them mixed up with the shop he used. Boat looks great good job. Are you going to keep it or sell it?
The dash was fine no modifications. The holes spacing is about a 1/4" to close if using standard gauge bezels so I milled down the sides of the bezels so the gauges and bezels would fit with the existing dash spacing. You could order thinner Bezels and it would probably work.

Thanks,It looks like the spacing would work without bezels from your pictures. What did you put in place of the hour gauge? That is such a huge improvement! I have those same shitty square ones on my '91 240.

Any ideas what caused the hole in the fuel tank?
Yes,
Corrosion from the water trapped under the floor. slowly ate away at the aluminum.
Let see that new motor
Soon.......... I hope?
Getting the boat cover tuned up and new Bimini made right now.
I've really enjoyed following this thread. Great job on the boat

Thanks,
The project has stalled a bit. Got too busy at work, I did get it over to Custom Canvas to get the new Stainless Bimini done, than over to Hallett to get some things I haven't been able to take care of.

Hallett1974.......Looks like you did pretty good yourself, congrats on that 93 :thumbsup
Thanks,
Looks like you picked up the 93 closed bow at max marine. From he adds I saw seems to be a very nice 210. How does it run with the 502? Curious as to what size prop you are running.

I have enjoyed following your thread, thanks for sharing. The Hallett looks great!
How do you like the new shifter?
Great so far. Racking up a laundry list of things I am going to change or re-do in the off season though. [emoji12]Thanks for following along.
All i have really been able to do is look at the shifter so far. I do like how it looks compared to the old one though.The shift cable bellow was leaking a large amount of water when I tried to launch a few weeks back.
Just got it and the cable replaced yesterday so hope to find out in the next couple of days. How Is your 210 running?
Small updates,
Installed Dana Shifter, Pop up cleats and floor locker.

Can I ask where you picked up the floor locker? Is that a Hallett item?
